What is Whole30?

Whole30 is a food program created in 2009 by Melissa and Dallas Hartwig. 

It involves eliminating certain foods from your diet for 30 days, including grains, legumes, dairy, sugar, alcohol, and processed foods. 

After the 30 days are up, you gradually reintroduce these foods back into your diet to see how they affect you. 

The idea behind it is that by eliminating these foods from your diet, you’ll be able to better understand how they affect your body.

Then, you can make healthier choices going forward. 

The program has been incredibly popular in recent years.

People have noticed major changes in their bodies such as energy boosts, mental clarity, and better sleep. 

It’s definitely worth a try!
