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!

Hey – you’ve made it this far, and now we’re best friends! If you make any of these recipes or try this meal plan, I’d love for you to give it a star rating ★ below. Make sure you follow me on Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook, too!
Lots! You can eat vegetables (including potatoes!), fruit (in moderation), eggs, meat that has been processed, seafood, some oils, ghee, nuts, seeds, and coffee.
Yes! While the overall goal is to break your emotional attachment to food and discover what makes you feel your best, most people do lose weight on Whole30.
While doing Whole30, you commit to not consuming dairy, grains, legumes, added sugar, junk food (including recreations with Whole30-compliant ingredients), carrageenan, MSG, sulfites, or alcohol. Yep, there’s no drinking on Whole30.
Yes! You can have about 2 servings of fruit per day, so long as they are eaten with your meal and not as a “dessert.”
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!
You’re welcome! Thank you for letting me know, we’ll get that added.
Will you share your baba ghanoush with me?
Of course! https://40aprons.com/baba-ganoush/
