Whole30

The Whole30 is a 30-day elimination[1] fad diet[2] that emphasizes whole foods and the elimination of sugar, alcohol, grains, and dairy.[3][4] The traditional Whole30 also eliminates legumes and soy, while a plant-based version of the Whole30 allows consumption of those food groups. The traditional Whole30 is similar to but more restrictive than the paleo diet, as adherents may not eat natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.[5] There is no scientific evidence to support health claims made by Whole30 and limited independent research has been conducted on the diet.[2][3]
