  • I've done a lot of research and experimenting with Whole30 in the past - here are some of my thoughts on this program. ISSUES WITH WHOLE30 SCIENCE I've done a Whole30 in the past (actually did a Whole60!) and soon after became curious about the scientific research provided in their book, It Starts With Food. As a side…
    in Whole 30 Anyone? Comment by mikehull14 February 2018
  • I've done a Whole30 in the past and soon after became curious about the scientific research provided in the book, It Starts With Food. As I am a student studying nutritional science and currently work as a researcher, I decided to review the citations the authors provide for each chapter of the book and see if the science…

  • I would strongly recommend against this diet. Their book and website are filled with unscientific information.

  • I've done a Whole30 in the past and became suspicious of their reasoning behind the program. I decided to review the citations they provide for each chapter of the book, It Starts With Food, (over 450+ total citations) and see if they were being honest in their interpretation of the scientific literature. The results:…
    in The Whole30 Challenge Comment by mikehull14 January 2016
  • I'd caution against using the Whole30 as a reliable source of nutrition information. The way they have designed their elimination/reintroduction phases has some issues as well that may prevent people from accurately identifying food sensitivities.
