Looking to eat more like a caveman? The\u00a0Whole30<\/a>\u00a0is one take on the paleo diet many women swear by. In this 30-day nutrition reset, you\u2019ll eat only real, whole foods: unprocessed meats, seafood, eggs, nuts, seeds, oils, veggies, and fruits. At the same time, you\u2019ll eliminate quite a few foods that the diet\u2019s proponents say can trigger inflammation and upset stomach, including sugar, processed\/junk foods<\/a>, gluten, dairy, alcohol, and legumes (soy, chickpeas, lentils and peanuts). The idea is, after 30 days, you\u2019ll reset your relationship with food.<\/p>\n

\u201cI use it commonly in my nutrition practice, and I\u2019ve seen firsthand how it can eliminate cravings, balance blood sugar, and heal my client\u2019s digestive tract,\u201d says nutritionist\u00a0Diana Rodgers, R.D.<\/a>, a consultant for the Whole30 diet and creator of the\u00a0Sustainable Dish podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the Whole30 diet, it\u2019s best to ideally eat three large, high-quality meals and avoid snacking. \u201cOur bodies are designed to either be eating or digesting food, not mindless grazing throughout the day. When we constantly snack, it can wreak havoc on our metabolism, causing blood spikes and hormonal deregulation,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen you nourish your body with real, whole food as advised on the Whole30, you feel much more full and satisfied throughout the day, reducing the need to snack.\u201d<\/p>\n

That said, busy, long days happen\u2014and if you\u2019re pregnant, nursing, or especially active, you\u2019ll need to eat more frequently throughout the day. That\u2019s why Rodgers always suggests her clients keep some Whole30-friendly emergency snacks on hand. She recommends choosing natural, whole-food options that are high in protein<\/a>, the most satiating macronutrient that keeps you feeling fuller for longer. Also opt for healthy fats from animal and plant sources that are minimally processed, like coconut oil, olive oil, ghee, almond butter, coconut (shredded, flaked or coconut milk), seeds, and avocado. \u201cFats like margarine, vegetable oils and other highly processed industrial oils are to be avoided on the Whole30 because they can be pro-inflammatory,\u201d says Rodgers.<\/p>\n

In terms of measuring calories and other nutrients in your snacks, Rodgers says counting actually goes against Whole30\u2019s principles. \u201cWhen people remove the junk and eat real food, they can self-regulate without the need for weighing and measuring. A snack should just be seen as a mini meal to get you to the next meal,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
