No carbs, no beans, no dairy, no eggs. Like the paleo diet you eliminate all food that cant be hunted or gathered. So just protein and fruits and vegetables. 30 days, no wiggle room, no gray area.

Reporter the diet was profiled in the bestselling book it starts with food and fueled by whole30 which is burning up the internet with more than quarter million snaps on instagram. It is a short term nutritional reset to help people learn what foods affect them and how. Reporter the diet is the brain child of certified sports nutritionist, dallas and melissa hartwig. We have developed so many habits. We use food as comfort, love, reward, punishment, we have cravings, we feel like we are not in control of the foods that we eat. We have built rules into the whole 30 to help people break their cravings but also reestablish a healthy connection with the food that theyre eating. Reporter in addition to cutting out grains like rice or wheat, there is of course, no processed sugar or alcohol. So a lot of the foods contain different types of protein structure that can be a problemen the human body. We are not adapted to eat a lot of the foods. Reporter one surprising nono.

Probably for me it was about, day eight or nine. Thats just when my energy just kicked up. I could totally tell a difference. And i just felt amazing. Reporter the key to the whole 30 is slowly reintroducing food types like gluten or dairy or sugar. One by one. To see how your body reacts. For julie halama, results were startling. Sugar cravings came back with a vengeance. And it only took, you know, one bit of sugar to, to be, craving sugar kind of all day long. But, dairy, i feel like, i have some joint pain, some old injuries that kind of come back and just skacause me discomfort eating dairy. Reporter the popular diet is not without its naysayers. Awe off it takes a lot of meal planning. You need to have a lot of time. Money. I dont think the whole 30 diet is a realistic diet plan. It will encourage rapid weight loss which is something that we all may love. But in fact, dieters may regain the weight that they have lost once they start reintroducing their Favorite Foods back into their diet. The larger concerns, say critics, is poor nutrition. When you start eliminating food groups like dairy, legumes, whole gra whole grains you miss out on calcium, vitamin d, b vitamins, fiber, antiox dantz important for overall health. Reporter the diets inven inventers defend it. There is nothing you are macing from food you are om omitting for 30 days that you cant get from the healthy food on the plate. You are not missing anything. Minerals, vitamins, calcium. Fiber. Now julie is on maintenance running from herb kids to her company. Grabbing healthy lunches. You are quite healthy. Thank you.
