What is Whole 30?

Whole 30 is a clean health challenge that many people find helpful for kicking off a new year of healthy eating habits or as a reset button on their health.

Whole30 isn't a lifestyle you'd follow long-term and it's not just about losing weight, it's also a great way to figure out which foods make your body feel good (or bad).

For a whole month, you give up foods like sugar, grains, alcohol, dairy, processed foods, and beans/legumes and instead, you're filling up on healthy foods like veggies and fruits for your carbs, lean meats, seafood, and eggs.

You can print off our free Whole30 grocery list to make shopping even easier! Think of it like a Whole30 meal plan combined with the recipes we have listed here too.

After 30 days, you slowly start eating the old foods again, one at a time, to see how they affect you.

This is a little more restrictive than a lowFODMAP diet my GI encouraged me to follow last year to figure out what was causing my stomach pain and bloating, but I prefer following a Whole 30 elimination plan since it covers other types of food sensitivities lowFODMAP might not catch such as to gluten.

A Whole30 challenge helped me to realize as I got older that I can't have cow's milk, gluten, coffee, and sugar without feeling unwell. While Whole30 isn't easy to do, it will make a world of difference to your nutrition in the long run!

Why Whole 30 Meal Prep

If you've overindulged during the holidays or maybe have some food sensitivities but aren't quite sure what they are, Whole30 is a great way to clean up your health and get yourself back on track.

The easiest way to make this happen is by meal prepping Whole30 recipes in advance so that you know what foods are coming up, they're already prepped in your fridge, and it'll keep you from grabbing unhealthy options.

We have all three meals of the day wrapped in our Whole30 prepped meals list. So whether you're searching for Whole 30 breakfast ideas, lunches, or dinner recipes, you'll find it here!

Sunday is a popular day to meal prep and gets set for your week and we often meal prep mid-week as well, like on a Wednesday. Whole30 lunches are especially helpful taking on the go to work so you won't be tempted to eat out.

Whole30 Meal Plan Questions

Can I have snacks on the Whole30?

Yes, you can have snacks on a Whole 30 meal plan, but the goal is to focus on healthy meals during the day. Great healthy snack ideas include fruits and vegetable sticks.

Is it necessary to buy organic foods?

Organic foods are recommended for following a Whole30 plan but are not mandatory. The focus should be on whole, unprocessed foods.

If budget is a concern, prioritize organic options for foods known to have higher pesticide residues.

How should I deal with social situations?

Plan ahead for social events. Eat beforehand, bring your own Whole30-compliant dishes, or host social functions at your house.

To be honest, it's best to skip going out to eat for 30 days to make it easier to stick to your health plan.

How should I handle cravings?

Stay hydrated, eat frequent balanced high protein meals, and keep healthy snacks on hand.

Understand that cravings are normal and will decrease as your body adjusts. The hardest part is actually giving up sugar. Sugar is addictive like a drug, sugar addiction is a very real issues, and experiencing short term symptoms like headaches is common while you get it out of your system.

What happens after the 30 days?

After completing the Whole30, gradually reintroduce the eliminated food groups one at a time.

Pay attention to how each affects your body and mind to make informed dietary choices going forward. If you re-introduce a food that makes you feel unwell, you'll ideally want to permanently eliminate that food from your diet going forward.
