  • Eat in a new way, drop pounds and inches and find a new healthier you

    Missy S. - 1 year 3 months ago

    I kept reading about Melissa Hartwig's Whole 30 program but couldn't commit without someone to share the journey with. The book finally released and I made a hard line decision that I had to try it. A customer in the store agreed to be my partner and we were off and running. It is difficult for the first few days as your body comes off sugar and other unhealthy ingredients, but it is so worth it in the long run. Clear skin, pounds of weight and new smaller measurements all the way around were the successes. She and I shared recipes, talked each other off the chocolate ledge and became friends in the process. You're going to cook a lot of food knowing it's healing your body, but the downside is that you'll also be doing a lot of dishes. It has encouraged me in a new lifestyle that benefits me and changes my outlook going forward.

  • A Healthier You is Just 30 Days Away!

    Lindsey A. - 2 years 8 months ago

    The follow-up book to the Hartwigs' "It Starts With Food", this book is great for anyone thinking about getting into the Whole30 program or for veterans that have a few Whole30s under their belt already. Program information, frequently asked questions, and recipes are all included to be as helpful to the user as possible. I highly recommend this book for anyone that is looking to regain their health and better understand what food does to their bodies.

  • 30 days to reset your food habits

    Sophia E. - 2 years 9 months ago

    In short, Whole30 is not a diet. It's a 30-day reset of your eating habits. You eliminate certain foods for 30 days. After the 30 days, you slowly reintroduce the foods that you eliminated to see how your body reacts to each type of food. This book is perfect for those who are curious about the Whole30. The book is organized and laid out in such a way that makes perfect sense. First, the basics -- what it's all about, meal planning tips, etc. Then, the recipes. The recipes range from very easy to somewhat adventurous, so it's easy to find something to make that works for you. There are two indexes -- one for general information and one for the recipes. I refer to my copy of this book even when I'm not doing the Whole30 but want to make something that tastes delicious.

  • This is not hard

    Wendie G. - 7 years 8 months ago

    With The Whole30, authors Melissa and Dallas Hartwig have done the impossible: written a diet book that is chockfull of valuable information on everything from basic nutrition to how to interpret the secret meanings of some of those long, scientific names on food labels, while at the same time being easy and fun to read. And the eating plan actually works, if you follow it religiously. The science behind the plan is simple. For 30 days, stop eating anything that might be making you sick or causing adverse reactions in your body, things you might have no idea are the real culprits behind your pain or inflammation or allergy symptoms. The NO list includes all sugar or sweeteners (real or artificial), all dairy, all grains, all legumes (beans, peanuts, etc), and all alcohol, which leaves the Yes list containing meat and eggs, fruits, vegetables, most nuts and lots of fats, including butter (clarified to remove the milk fats), avocados, olives, and a variety of oils. Again, the science presented to support the value of the plan is well-researched and easily understood. The writing is filled with everyday language and a lot of humor, making it easy to read through all the plan requirements and the reasons behind them before you ever reach the recipes, which are plentiful, delicious and full of even more hints on how to incorporate the changes into your everyday life. I can personally attest to two things. First, the plan works. And second, as the authors emphasize, it is not hard. It is an adjustment, but giving up sugar, dairy and bread is easy when I get to have as much bacon, olives, fresh fruit, vegetables and whatever meat or fish I like. The recipes offer an amazing number of combinations of the allowed foods, which may sound strange but are actually delicious. For example, who knew that roasted beets, mandarin oranges, and avocado make a refreshing salad? Or that garlic shrimp could be served over zucchini noodles -- julienned zucchini that looks like spaghetti -- instead of pasta? For those that can eat their burgers sans bun but not without ketchup or mayonnaise, there are even recipes for those condiments that are made from things you already have in your pantry, not a bunch of exotic ingredients found only at the local natural food market. And it turns out that portobello mushrooms and even sweet potato slices can substitute for hamburger buns. Amazing! If you are struggling with which eating plan to try -- and we all seem to be searching for something to help us lose weight or feel healthier -- I encourage you to pick up a copy of The Whole30. The book is easy to read, which makes the plan easier to follow. Trust me; this is not hard. Really.
