So I’ve heard a LOT about Whole 30 lately! My sister in law and brother went through it, and everyone that I know who’s done it LOVES it, so I figured I’d try it out! 

What is Whole 30?

Certain food groups (like grains, dairy, sugar, and legumes) could be negatively affecting your health. They could cause low energy, create aches and pains, or make it hard to lose weight. They could even cause skin issues, seasonal allergies, fertility issues or digestive ailments! These symptoms might be directly related to the FOOD that you eat–even HEALTHY food.

How do you know if these foods are negatively affecting you? 

Cut them out of your diet completely!! Cut out ALL inflammatory, psychologically unhealthy, gut disrupting, hormone-unbalancing foods for a full 30 days. This allows your body to heal and recover from whatever effects those foods may be causing. 

During the 30 days, you’ll learn how the foods you eat actually affect your day to day life–and your long term health. 

Whole 30 will change the way you think about food, change your taste buds, change your habits, and your cravings. It’ll change the emotional relationship you have with food. 

What are the Whole 30 Rules? 

Eat seafood, eggs, meat, LOTS of veggies, some fruit, and plenty of good fats from nuts and seeds, oils, and fruits. Eat unprocessed foods with very few ingredients that you can PRONOUNCE–or food without ingredients (like an apple). 

What foods do you avoid on Whole 30?

• Sugar of any kind. No honey, agave, maple syrup, coconut sugar, Splenda, equal, stevia, etc. 
• Alcohol. No wine. Sorry!
• Grains. Including oats (sad day!), corn, rice, millet, rye, barley, wheat, bulgur, sorghum, amaranth, buckwheat, sprouted grains, quinoa. 
• Legumes. All beans (black, white, pinto, etc.), soy (tofu, tempeh, edamame), peanuts (no peanut butter!!!!!!).
• Dairy. Cow, goat, or sheep’s milk products such as cream cheese, yogurt, sour cream. Only exception is ghee (clarified butter).
• Carrageenan, MSG, or sulfites. Check your labels.
• No recreating baked goods or ‘treats’ with approved ingredients. No paleo pop tarts lol. 

And since I know myself, and how EASY it is to start something and quit when there’s no accountability involved–I figured why not open up a group so we can go through Whole 30 together!! 

So in February our team is going to do a round of Whole 30 and we are going to open it up to anyone (who isn’t already a coach or working with a coach) to join us!

If you want in, please email clientcare@fitwithrachel.com and I’ll add you to our group! Be sure to pick up a copy of the book and start reading!
