It’s best to approach the Whole30 as “what you CAN eat”, rather than what you have to cut out. Simple!

[tamidurcan]

Mostly Whole Foods and intermittent fasting is how I lost all my extra weight and I’m no longer pre-diabetic. Love this WOL.

Love this woman. The music is distracting tho

Shocked a registered dietitian can comfortably say we need dairy and grains from sources we can easily get from veggies, eggs, and meat like salmon. Mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, spinach, and broccoli are all great sources of fiber, iron, and vitamin D as well!

I try to do Whole 30 once a year. It resets my sugar tolerance, helps my gallbladder and liver, and I feel so much lighter. On day 31 there's no way I can eat sugar like I did on day 1. It's way too much. I've done the GAPS diet, and the Standard Process Purification, and Whole 30 is easy in comparison. Buy yourself a cookbook and try it, your body will thank you!

She is using the typical cherry picking trash talk on this way of eating. After 30 days, you will slowly re- introduce the different food groups back into your diet. Watch how your body reacts, and if it’s not good, then that’s not a food group for your body. I did this challenge a year ago. After I brought back the different food groups, I quickly found which ones were not good for me and have kept the 20 pounds off for a year. Once the sugar cravings subsided, it was actually quite easy - no measuring and no counting.

Wow... I literally watched that entire thing and didn’t learn crap because the music was so annoying and distracting

My doctor suggested this diet to me today to manage my PCOS and insulin resistance. Its not a 30 day thing for me though 😕 this is a life style change like for good

[caseyburnet]

Best diet I've seen, but I restrict a couple more items in the area of fats that I don't react well to. Now I look and feel healthier than ever.

[Rubester-clop]

Hoping to do a variation of this but i am not beating myself and restarting if i make a mistake I don’t agree with that. It sounds triggering and like something that could lead to disordered eating, so i will be careful with that.

I enjoyed listening to the pros and cons. Thank you. Its very healthy and wise to study the pros and cons of anything. I did disgree with one point however. That is that we NEED iron and other nutrients from legumes and grains. Liver has thee highest source of iron and seaweed does also as well as apricots. I believe its good to eliminate these if you are having digestive issues and to prepare them by soaking/ sprouting when coming to use. Cool video and nice style :) And, it takes guts to put yourself out there and point out possible pros and cons. x

[cheldog]

so basically all the nutrients you're cutting out you can get from other foods that are allowed

[bennygerow]

This is exactly what I was looking for

[Cassanrda]

I'm not certain how healthy cow's milk is for humans. It certainly wasn't healthy for me. My doctor told me to cut it out 2 years ago and I've rarely had a problem since.

Why are the captions giving exercise instructions, while you are talking about Whole 30?

[MatchaCocoaDog]

Would you recommend this to kickstart clean eating and then with to something like Mediterranean Diet?

[cheddar]

Take it from me: one problem with the scale is that as you refine your eating and get more active, your muscle mass will grow and fat will slowly recede. This can make the scale appear to be flat for two or three weeks, which can be very demoralizing. Just keep at it. The results will come.

You should burn your license for making this video if you did not try it. This program is amazing and helped me realize dairy products are for cows not humans. I have tried several diets and this was by far one of the easiest and tastiest diets I have ever tried.

[sparklemotion]

I like videos with the BACKGROUND MUSIC is just as loud as the audio.
Makes poking your eyes with a hot stick not so bad

[szatkown]

From everything I’ve read on this diet, there are no food measurements. 1/4 cup of a whole food for a 4’9” woman won’t be enough for a 6’5” tall man.
