What’s the Deal with this Whole30 Deal?

Whole30 is a relatively new idea, one I learned about just this year. In 2016, I completed 3 1/2 rounds and the program requirements are life changing!

I was introduced to the program last year by my doctor. She challenged me to take a look, and since I’m not one to turn down a challenge, I agreed. When I learned more about it, I was less than excited, but wouldn’t allow myself to back out. I followed through with my commitment. On April 5, 2016, I started my first Whole30 and am excited with the entire program. We love the food, the ideas, the results.

The program and all its concepts make so much sense to me and I can totally see how anyone can benefit from it! I believe in the program so much, a portion of this blog is devoted to nutrition, specifically Whole30.
