What is Whole30?

Whole30 is a 30-day eating plan that eliminates sugar, alcohol, grains, legumes, soy, and dairy from your diet and instead focuses on whole foods. A large part of Whole30 is cutting out inflammatory foods from your diet, which can trigger an immune response in some people. It is great for getting insight into what foods may be causing negative reactions in your body.

What Are the Benefits of Following Whole30?

Whole30 is an amazing way to “reset” your body and help build or maintain a healthy relationship with food. It can also help you to discover what foods may be having a detrimental effect on your health. Results vary from person to person, but the most common benefits include:

  • Higher energy levels
  • Weight loss
  • Clearer skin
  • Improved sleep
  • Improved digestive health
  • A better overall feeling of health

Why Whole30?

Whole30 is a great meal plan because you don’t track calories or macros, limit your portions, and you should never feel hungry! It’s a great way to discover what foods cause problems for YOU (not your best friend, your husband, your neighbor, or, heck, even me), as well as new foods you love. And honestly… the food is so good!

The Whole30 Meal Plan

This plan will take you through all of your meals for the next 30 days. These recipes are easy and simple to make and are great for meal prepping so that you never are caught unprepared. The best way to succeed with Whole30 is to plan, and I’ve done all the planning for you!

This plan is designed for 2 people, with some recipes making enough for more than 2. These recipes are integrated with leftovers in the meal plan.

    It’s a little confusing that some of the recipes that you link to have ingredients that are not whole 30 compliant. The Greek Meal on the first week has yogurt in it for example. I

      You can always adjust recipes like the Greek Meal Prep to fit the Whole30 lifestyle. In this example, you could omit the tzatziki entirely or sub coconut cream for the yogurt. That post actually includes a recipe for a Whole30-compliant tzatziki. Most of the recipes here on 40aprons.com include Whole30 and Paleo options (among others). Whole30 is all about making recipes work for you, so I hope this guide is helpful in achieving that!

    I just went shopping, we start in 2 days, and I wanted to say first: THANK YOU! It’s really nice to have a plan to go off of instead of piecing each week together like I have for previous Whole30s. Second, and this is picky of me probably but…Your shopping list for week 1 doesn’t include eggplant to make the baba ghanoush which is incredibly sad because I love baba ghanoush. Yes, I could probably have avoided missing it if I’d taken the extra time to look over week 1 in depth but…I have kids (is that a good excuse?? LOL). So this is mostly me saying that I would love if you would add that to the shopping list so others are prepared in the future. Regardless, thank you for putting the effort and time into this meal plan so it is easier for those of us going into a whole30!
