Whole30 success story9/2/2023 ![]() ![]() A kale and fruit smoothie served as the perfect mid-afternoon snack. Lunch meant some form of protein (be it chicken sausage, baked chicken, or eggs) combined with more vegetables (some days it was Brussels sprouts and squash, other days it was broccoli and potatoes). While I hadn't cooked that much before, I felt inspired by my limitations.įor breakfast, I threw eggs into a pan with whatever vegetables inspired me that day. The first is a great option for some people, but for me, the latter was the only way to go. ![]() Food rules can help some people, but can be really harmful to others.Īs far as I'm concerned, there are two ways to do the Whole30 program: Sink into a monotonous but comfortable routine or use the challenge as an opportunity to spice up your recipe repertoire. And I'd be remiss not to point out that any diet with super restrictive rules can be incredibly problematic to anyone who has ever struggled with disordered eating-and even to people who haven't. Beyond all that, if you have certain health conditions, going on an elimination diet without medical supervision could actually be dangerous for you because it might mean that you're not getting the right amount of nutrients that you need to be healthy. If you feel better after Whole30, it's more likely because you've been eating less junk food, alcohol, and empty calories, rather than because you have a specific food intolerance. Whole30 is decidedly not a medical diagnostic tool-and the irritants it claims to help you pinpoint are only truly problematic to a very small percentage of the population. Elimination diets, when done correctly under medical supervision, are diagnostic tools that can help pinpoint specific irritants. It's worth noting here before I go any further that SELF has reported-repeatedly-that it's not a smart idea to go on an elimination diet without consulting a doctor first. ![]()
