Nine Steps to a Successful Nutrition Challenge

For those gym owners, community leaders, and Facebook admins running a Whole30 in the new year... we remind you of our nine easy steps to a successful nutrition challenge. See you in January! One of the most common questions we receive is, “How do I run a successful nutrition challenge at my gym?” This is usually followed by a variety of complaints about past challenges, all related to their general “flop” status. (Members didn’t care enough about nutrition to participate, most who started … [Read more...]

Are you a Good Food Island?

Earlier this week, we announced our expansion into Australia, New Zealand, and the surrounding area, and introduced you to Jamie Scott and Anastasia Boulais, the new Whole9 South Pacific. Today, we'll give you an idea of what they cover in their Whole9 nutrition seminars down under by digging deeper into one of their "Five S's of Health" - socialisation. (That's how they spell it down there.) Enjoy this special article from Jamie and Anastasia. The Good Food Island You've caught onto … [Read more...]

The Whole9 Guide To Navigating a Restaurant Menu

For most people, your first few weeks of a Paleo-style diet (or the Whole30®) will involve at least one attempt – successful or not - to navigate a restaurant menu. When you're new to this way of eating, dining out can be challenging, and often stressful. In an attempt to convert any normal restaurant menu into appropriate Good Food fare, we've outlined some tips in It Starts With Food, and created  this handy Dining Guide to help you make the most of your restaurant experience. Today, … [Read more...]

Whole9: Let Us Change Your Kids

by Robin Strathdee, whose kids have been known to gnaw on cold turkey legs for a snack. One of the biggest dilemmas faced by our successful Whole30® participants is how to take the incredible lessons they’ve learned and apply them to the rest of their family – specifically their kids. If you’ve read our Kiddo Manifesto, you know that we believe that kids should eat the same foods that we adults eat (y’know, those foods that make you healthier) and avoid the same foods we tell adults to … [Read more...]

The 400,000 Hour Body

A nice little reminder from the Whole9 archives. Also, we've not read the 4 Hour Body, so can't speak to its contents - we just thought this title played nicely. We get a lot of questions about products, services and protocols that promise miraculous results - improved body composition, fitness, energy or health - with minimal effort. This slant is not new – the lure of a shortcut (or “free lunch”, as Gym Jones calls it) has been the carrot dangling from our health-and-fitness stick since … [Read more...]

Quench Your Thirst Whole9 Style

We like to think of our nutrition recommendations in terms of what you can have, as opposed to what you can’t. Even so, people inevitably start to think of their glass as half empty when they’re asked to scratch certain beverages off their shopping list in preparation for the Whole30®. No soda?! No cream and sugar in my coffee? No alcohol!?! What the heck will I drink?! Today, instead of “no” this or “no” that, try to think in terms of what drinks you can say yes! yes! yes! to. Like yes, I … [Read more...]

An International Spin on Breakfast

Our European tour is in full swing. We spent a week in Reykjavik, Iceland (presenting a Whole9 nutrition seminar at CrossFit Reykjavik), four days tramping across Sweden (culminating in a meet-and-greet with Whole9 Nutrition Partner Reebok CrossFit Karlstad), and five days in Denmark (hosting a Paleo Q&A session for Danish journalists at Kong Hans Kælder, and an abbreviated Whole9 seminar at Copenhagen’s famous Butcher’s Lab). The cities have been gorgeous, and the people bright and … [Read more...]

The Legume Manifesto

legumes

From Whole9, as a preface to our Manifesto series: As we wrote in It Starts With Food, “We have a theory about food that directly influences the rest of this book. The food that you eat either makes you more healthy or less healthy. Those are your options.” Of course, we spend the rest of the book explaining why a concept that sounds so simple is not that simple at all in practice. That’s why our Good Food recommendations are based on not just one foundation, but a combination of … [Read more...]

Jessica Oram: Inspiration, Leader, Envoy

We are thrilled to welcome Jessica Oram as our newest Whole9 Envoy Extraordinaire. Jessica has been a leader within our community since she submitted one of the most powerful testimonials we've ever received on September 2011. Since then, Jessica has been spreading the Good Food word with friends and family; to those who also suffer from TTM (trichotillomania) as an official speaker at their national conference; and via recorded interviews, sharing her Whole30 experience. Jessica was … [Read more...]

The Alcohol Manifesto

From Whole9, as a preface to our Manifesto series: As we wrote in It Starts With Food, “We have a theory about food that directly influences the rest of this book. The food that you eat either makes you more healthy or less healthy. Those are your options.” Of course, we spend the rest of the book explaining why a concept that sounds so simple is not that simple at all in practice. That’s why our Good Food (and drink) recommendations are based on not just one foundation, but a … [Read more...]
