Whole30 Recap

Well, we took the plunge and stuck to the Whole30 rules for 1 month. 


Here's what we saw:

  • Incredible anti-inflammatory effects
  • Lean mass gain and fat mass loss
  • Increased energy after the "detox" phase
  • Decreased food sensitivities & intolerances
  • Diminished digestive discomforts
  • Clearer skin
  • Better results from exercises & training
  • Eventual decrease in cravings and increase in will power

In addition to the rules of Whole30, we added in a daily probiotic supplement and absurd (but necessary) amounts of water. 

Who we recommend this option for:
  • Anyone looking to lose weight
  • Those seeking lean mass/strength gain
  • Anyone with food sensitivities, allergies, intolerances or digestive issues (trust us, the first few weeks might be rough, but your body will reset itself and you can say good riddance to your digestive ailments!)
  • People who want better energy levels, regularity, and more "omph" for their workouts & daily activities

What are we doing AFTER Whole30?
  • We are at our "new normal"
  • We are still upholding most principles of the Whole30 program by consuming animal protein, lots of vegetables, an adequate amount of fruit, appropriate fat intake, and plenty of nuts/seeds.
  • We are still limiting dairy & grain intake, and making sure we avoid any and all processed foods
  • Depending on our training regimen, we may have boosted our carb intake back up by 1 serving
  • We have added back in our 10% rule (10% of your nutritional intake every week can be whatever you want! It keeps us all sane and eliminates guilt when enjoying our favorite indulgences)
