What is Whole30?

Whole30 is a 30-day diet plan intended to help create healthier habits, eliminate cravings and create better overall health.

The goal is to eat whole, minimally processed food. You can eat beef, poultry, and fish. Vegetables and fruits of all kinds are allowed. You can have natural oils, herbs, and seasoning.

The diet eliminates processed sugar, alcohol, grains, legumes, dairy, carrageenan, and sulfates. Look at my link above for all the details.

I am doing this diet as a bit of a reset because I love carbs and sugars.
