It’s our own darn program
As of Tuesday June 15th, after 30 full days, our Road Trip Whole30 program will officially conclude. And we're proud to say we made it through the program 100%. Yes, through all the grocery trips, restaurant meals, social obligations and business dinners, we stayed 100% compliant with the Whole30, both in rules and intention. (We even made it through two full days in West Texas, and if you can Whole30 there, you can pretty much do it anywhere.) [...]

What’s in YOUR cooler?
Part of the reason we took on this project - completing the full Whole30 while permanently on the road - was to experience with our readers the challenges we face trying to Eat Good Food when life requires lots of travel, socializing or just a a super-hectic on the go schedule. So today, we're going to spend some time dissecting the contents of our official Whole9 cooler - what's in it, what's in the grocery bag next to it, and how we put things together from each to make delicious, Whole30-approved meals and snacks. [...]

Weekend motivation
We're throwing up a special post right before the long holiday weekend because it sounds like some of you are feeling the pressures right about now. The excitement of your shiny new Whole30 toy may be wearing off. You feel like you've been "good" and deserve a "reward". (You've earned it, haven't you?) [...]

Give your sugar tantrums a time-out
We like to take some comments on the site "Main Page", if we feel there's a good question, commentary or lesson to be learned. And yesterday, we received a comment from Susan that hit home - and spoke to one of the most important reasons why we created and continue to promote the Whole30 program as a way to "change your life in 30 days". The comment is as follows: [...]

Read your labels
Day Five of our Whole30 program on the road, and things are going really well. We've driven through the Keys, up through Florida to the panhandle (where we had an awesome workshop co-hosted by Lightning CrossFit and CrossFit Fort Walton Beach), and then on through Alabama, Mississippi and now, Louisiana. [...]

The Whole30, Version 2.0
Last year, we proposed a squeaky clean eating program designed to “change your life in 30 days”. The response on the blog was overwhelming. Hundreds of people participated, following the “rules” inspired by the experience we had when we completed our own 30 day nutritional program. [...]

Repost: The Carrot Train to Crazytown
It reminded me of my now-infamous Carrot Confrontation. I was participating in a discussion on a message board when someone asked what I eat in a typical day. I replied with a list of things I had eaten that morning - chicken, radishes, egg whites, spinach, olives... and carrots. I mentioned I had eaten almost an entire bag of baby carrots. At which point, another poster responded, "You should be careful about eating so many carrots. Carrots are pretty high in sugar." [...]

The Grain Manifesto
We're continuing our "manifesto" series (refer back to dairy and peanuts for our earlier offerings) with the one topic most likely to spur controversy - grains. Our Whole30 program doesn't include grains of any kind - no breads, cereals, pasta, rice, not even fake grains like quinoa or gluten-free substitutes. We're about to tell you why. [...]

Whole30 Recipe Book: Mexi-salad with fresh guacamole
We've been on the road a ton, and that means making extra efforts when it comes to Eating Good Food. When we travel, we pre-package travel meals in glass storage containers, pack coolers full of ice to keep foods fresh, shop for lunch at the nearest healthy food market, and order the best available meats, oils and vegetables for dinner. It also means that when we get home, we put EXTRA effort into cooking high quality, high variety, fresh and balanced meals. [...]
