re: Whole 30

It is not a joke or meant to be a forever lifestyle. It’s an elimination diet designed to remove common allergens for 30 days then reintroduce. As an elimination diet it is very effective. An offshoot of the diet is very sustainable for those that need it (those of us with autoimmune diseases). Add back sweets using stevia/monk fruit, add back alcohol in moderation and during special events, and add back those foods that do not trigger immune responses. Now should this become the standard recommended diet to everyone 100% of the time? No, but to say it’s stupid or a yo-yo is not correct. It’s a tool in the tool box and an effective one for those who need it.
