The Whole30 is a 30-day fad diet that emphasizes whole foods and during which participants eliminate sugar, alcohol, grains, legumes, soy, and dairy from their diets.[1][2] The Whole30 is similar to but more restrictive than the paleo diet, as adherents may not eat natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.[3] Foods allowed during the program include meat, nuts, seeds, seafood, eggs, vegetables, and fruits. During the Whole30, participants are advised not to count calories or to weigh themselves.[4] After the program is complete, participants are counseled to strategically reintroduce non-Whole30 compliant foods, document the impact of these foods, and decide if eating such foods is "worth it".[5][6] The program's founders believe that sugar, grains, dairy, alcohol, and legumes affect weight, energy, and stress levels.[7]
History
The program was created by sports nutritionists Dallas Hartwig and Melissa Hartwig in 2009.[8] In July 2016, The New York Times reported that participants in the Whole30 program had shared over one million Instagram posts using the #Whole30 hashtag, and noted that those sharing the tag were "one of seemingly endless like-minded communities," comparing it with the #WeightWatchers hashtag.[9]
Reception
The Whole30 has received mixed reviews from dieticians. No studies that specifically look into the health impacts of the Whole30 have been conducted.[1] Dieticians generally agree with the program's emphasis on proteins, vegetables and unprocessed foods and the avoidance of added sugars and alcohol.[8][3] The diet ranked last among 38 popular diets evaluated by U.S. News & World Report in its 2016 Best Diets Rankings. Dietician Meridan Zerner said: “We want behavioral changes and dietary changes that are slow and progressive and meaningful."[3]
