Here's what I should and should not do while on the Whole30...

Yes:

- Animal protein (meats, seafood, eggs)

- Vegetables

- Fruits

- Fats (coconut oil, avocados)

- Nuts and Seeds

- Daily activity/exercise

- Spend time outdoors

- Get plenty of sleep

- Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full

No:

- Sugar (added)

- Grains

- Legumes (peanuts, soy, beans)

- Dairy

- Vegetable Oils

- This is not low carb, get the carbs you need to match your energy output

- Starve, eat when you're hungry

It's not meant to be a weight loss diet, though many people lose weight on it. To remind myself not to treat it that way I don't weight myself for a while before and after. I do find that after a few weeks I have some extra energy to workout and stay active more which has a definite effect on the snugness of my clothing.
