Whole30
This diet is meant to help you identify foods that cause you digestive or inflammation issues, so using it to lose weight isn’t ideal. For instance, the plan bans legumes—something Roser finds questionable. “Legumes are packed with protein and have zero cholesterol, an amazing alternative to meat. They are an ideal choice to lose weight and live a healthy life with such an impressive nutrition profile,” she explains.
And when the diet is over—in this case, in just 30 days—you will likely go back to your old habits. Despite the drawbacks, she does appreciate how the diet encourages people to cook real food instead of consuming processed food. And giving up alcohol is always a good idea. But, “in the end, it’s impossible to keep up, like all diets, and people gain weight once they’re off it.”
