As the name indicates, this diet is a 30 days program where you eat certain types of food and avoid others.
Moderate portions of meat, seafood and eggs are recommended, with lots of vegetables, some fruit, plenty of natural fats; and herbs, spices, and seasonings.
Avoid food with added sugar, real or artificial. No maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, coconut sugar, date syrup, stevia, Splenda, Equal, Nutrasweet, xylitol, etc. Read your labels, because companies sneak sugar into products in ways you might not recognize.
Do not consume alcohol in any form, not even for cooking. (And ideally, no tobacco products of any sort, either.)
Do not eat grains. This includes (but is not limited to) wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, millet, bulgur, sorghum, sprouted grains and all gluten-free pseudo-cereals like quinoa, amaranth and buckwheat. This also includes all the ways we add wheat, corn and rice into our foods in the form of bran, germ, starch and so on. Again, read your labels.
Do not eat legumes. This includes beans of all kinds (black, red, pinto, navy, white, kidney, lima, fava, etc.), peas, chickpeas, lentils and peanuts. No peanut butter, either. This also includes all forms of soy – soy sauce, miso, tofu, tempeh, edamame and all the ways we sneak soy into foods (like lecithin).
Do not eat dairy. This includes cow, goat or sheep's milk products like milk, cream, cheese, kefir, yogurt, sour cream, ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Do not consume carrageenan, MSG, or sulfites. If these ingredients appear in any form on the label of your processed food or beverage, it's out for the Whole30.
Do not consume baked goods, junk foods or treats with "approved" ingredients.
Check your weight only after 30 days!
Good luck!
