    It's extreme elimination for people that have digestion problems or food sensitivity issues that they are trying to resolve. Some people lose weight (not the programs original intent) because there are so many restrictions.

    Not for me - I've lost & regained. This time I will ONLY make changes (to lose weight) that I intend use for maintenance (aka lifestyle changes).

    Look up whole30.com and it lays out everything you would need to know! you are eliminating added sugars, processed foods, grains, soy, dairy for 30 days. You are permitted to eat as much compliant food as you would like and it really does help. I did my first round 3 months ago and have kept a lot of the same principles and have been eating much better than i had. I went from a 10 pants to a size 4 but also had COMPLETE relief from my Crohn's disease. Its not supposed to be a lifelong diet, more like a reset for your body :) Hope that helps

    Whole 30 is basically Whole Foods only. I am transitioning into this but it's not whole 30. I'm doing it for life. Lol

    I am on my first day, it is hard and I am doing it for more than weight loss. I am trying to identify some digestion issues and also looking to lower (and keep lower) my A1C. When I had my blood work done my numbers were very close to being labeled as pre-diabetic.

    I did a whole 30 and it was restricted more than I needed. As an above poster said, it's not intended to be long term. It's a restrictive diet to identify food sensitivities. A side effect can be weight loss. It's a good way to kick start a whole food nutrition.

    I eat mostly clean most of the time but find that when I try to go 100% clean and whole real foods I can be more susceptible to temptation and when I go off plan I REALLY go off plan. I guess it's only 30 days so I MIGHT be capable of that, but really do like being about 90%ish clean & healthy but leaving that 10% or so allowance for treats without guilt. Sometimes I don't even have any treats/unhealthy foods, but it's comforting to know I can if I want to.
