I am so blessed to have found Whole 30. When I completed Whole 30 in August and lost 23 pounds and felt 10 times better than I'd felt in a long time I knew eating whole was going to be the way to go. I'm currently into another round of Whole 30 compliant (14 days) and yet, I have no doubt I will be blessed by even that.
For anyone hurting from rheumatoid arthritis or arthritis or who experiences increased inflammation Whole 30 is a healthy way to combat those aches and pains. Remove all sugars, grains, and dairy - I know, that's a lot to cut out of the diet, and I won't lie - IT'S HARD - but so worth it, too. And, it's doable.
Just look at that salad. A whole tomato, I stuffed mixed greens into a mason jar, I added a hard boiled egg, a couple radishes for spice, a third of a can of beets, and Whole 30 compliant homemade zesty Italian dressing. This is my lunch every day of the week (I might mix it up with the meat, add a vegetable here or there) but it fills me up and tastes so good.
