July's Challenge
is based off a 30 day elimination diet plan that has had great success and rave
reviews. The Whole 30 diet allows you to reboot your body’s natural systems
through the elimination of common allergen triggers such as dairy and wheat
(grains) plus others. If you answer yes to any of the following questions this
might be something to try:
- Are your energy levels inconsistent or
non-existent?
- Do you have aches and pains that can’t be
explained by over-use or injury?
- Are you having a hard time losing weight no matter
how hard you try?
- Do you have some sort of condition (like skin
issues, digestive ailments, seasonal allergies or fertility issues) that
medication hasn't helped?
- Do you
suffer from chronic headaches or migraines?
Through the process of removing foods that
are causing your body to react and attack we can allow our body to process and
rebuild sometimes eliminating the unexplained symptoms that have plagued us and
that our health care provider just cannot seem to cure.
What gets
eliminated in this diet? A lot!
- All added sugars
- All grains
- Dairy
- Alcohol
- Legumes -even peanuts
- Processed Additives
- White Potatoes
What stays in this diet? Even more!
- Pure Proteins -nitrate free pork is a must
- Vegetables -green beans and peas are allowed
- Nuts and Seeds -peanuts excluded as they are really a
legume
- Limited daily intake of fruits
The Last Step
The last step of course is setting out to do
this, 100%, no cheating or make-shifting foods into healthy versions of junk
alternatives, checking labels for hidden sugars and unwanted additives, and of
course having fun.
