It seems like just about every other day one of my friends on social media posts something about a diet theyre doing.

Theres the friend whos making vegan recipes for her whole family (3-year-olds included)…

The one whos showing off their paleo lunch

At least one friend who wants everyone on the Internet to know that theyre going keto…

And then there are the people who do the Whole30 program.

These ones usually go one of two ways. Either Ill see a post from someone fairly close to the beginning of their Whole30 which usually says something like, Whole30 is so hard! I miss ____ (insert delicious but off-limits food) so much!

The second type is from those who finish the Whole30 program. Their posts are more like, Whole30 was difficult, but so worth it! I feel so much more energized Ive lost weight and I feel like Im just healthier!

So how do you know if those results are real? Did they really lose weight? Do they really have more energy? What about the other claims from Whole30, like clearer skin or less bloating?

And what all is involved in Whole30, anyway?

(I could write a whole article about why people like to post about their diets on social media but thats not the purpose of this article.)

This article is aimed at showing you what the Whole30 program really is what you should and shouldnt be eating if you do Whole30 and how to actually lose weight with Whole30!

Lets dive right in.

What Is The Whole30 Program?

First of all, Whole30 is NOT supposed to be a diet. Thats why its referred to as the Whole30 program.

The difference is that, as its name suggests, Whole30 isnt intended to be followed forever. Its a 30-day program.

The Whole30 program was born in 2009, when co-founder Melissa Hartwig Urban blogged about a 30-day food experiment. Her experiment was to eliminate certain foods from her diet to see how it changed her health and her relationship with food.

Melissas dietary experiment caught on, and people have been trying the Whole30 program ever since.

So, the main idea is that for 30 days, you eliminate a whole bunch of foods from your diet. And when I say eliminate, I mean TOTALLY eliminate. The Whole30 program doesnt leave room for cheat days, slip-ups, or special occasions.

Once you have successfully gone without these foods for 30 days, you can slowly start to reintroduce them back into your diet (if you want to). This should help you be able to identify any foods that have a negative impact on your health or your body.

For example, you might find that certain foods cause digestive issues, such as gas, bloating, or constipation. You might discover that one specific food makes it difficult for you to sleep well. 

Maybe one type of food leaves you feeling lethargic for days on end. And perhaps there are a few foods that make it WAY more difficult for you to lose weight.

With Whole30, you can reset your body get to know your health better see which foods work best for you and lose weight!

What Should & Shouldnt You Eat On Whole30?

Lets start with the foods you should eat if youre doing Whole30:

• Real food (really, thats what the Whole30 program says.)
• Meat
• Seafood
• Vegetables
• Fruit
• Spices, herbs, and seasonings
• Natural fats

The emphasis on real food means you should avoid heavily processed foods. Look for foods with very few ingredients on the label (and ones that you recognize). Or even better, opt for foods that dont need an ingredients label because they are whole, unprocessed foods.

As for the foods you shouldnt eat on Whole30 well, this is going to seem pretty drastic. Thats because the list of Whole30 no-no foods is pretty long and inclusive.

Foods you shouldnt eat during the Whole30 program include:

• Sugar, real or artificial (including honey, agave, coconut sugar, Splenda, stevia, monk fruit extract, Equal, Nutrasweet, or xylitol)
• Alcohol (not even for cooking)
• Dairy (including cow, goat, or sheeps milk products, such as cheese, milk, cream, kefir, yogurt, sour cream, ice cream, or frozen yogurt)
• Legumes (such as any type of beans, chickpeas, lentils, peas, soy products, peanuts, or peanut butter)
• Baked goods or junk food (even if you make them using approved ingredients)
• Carrageenan, MSG, or sulfites

Finally, theres one more restriction for Whole30: you arent supposed to weigh or measure yourself during those 30 days, either. This is to help you focus on how your body feels during the Whole30 program, rather than on weight loss only.

How To Lose Weight With Whole30

To be blunt, you dont need to do anything special during the Whole30 program in order to lose weight.

The key to losing weight on Whole30 is to be very strict about following the program. Even just one little slip-up can throw your body off the program.

And dont worryalthough the Whole30 program is pretty restrictive its only for 30 days! After those 30 days, you can 1) weigh yourself and celebrate your weight loss and 2) start adding back in some of the foods you deprived yourself of.

Of course, if you notice that you start gaining weight again once you start adding foods back into your diet you should evaluate which foods could be connected to that weight gain. The whole point of Whole30 is to reset your body so you can better assess your health & how certain foods affect your body so pay attention to what happens following those 30 days.

With the right tools, youll be well on your way to long-term weight loss and improved health!

This can be as simple as writing down what you eat every day after you finish Whole30 or recording which new food you added into your diet. Then, write down how you felt that day.

Dont forget how you felt during the Whole30. If you noticed that you had more energy your skin was clearer you were less bloated you didnt have food cravings you had better mental focus you slept better you had less digestion problems chances are, thats because the Whole30 program eliminated a food or two that had a negative effect on your body.

So, pay attention to how your body feels. This way, you can find the right balance for you so you can maintain a healthy weight AND a healthy body!

How To Lose Weight If You Dont Want To Do Whole30 (Without Giving Up Your Favorite Foods)… 

To put it bluntly Whole30 is A LOT of work.

There are so many foods that are totally off-limits probably at least 75% of my normal diet! 

(And there are certain things Im just not willing to give up!)

So although the Whole30 program can be a good choice for losing weight and giving your health a boost theres an easier way. (Whew!)

It doesnt involve cutting out all of your favorite foods (or any of them, for that matter)… running a massive overhaul of your lifestyle or even going to the gym!

Instead, this method focuses on getting the good things youre currently missing into your body.
