How do I review this without sounding like a cult follower?

Whole30 changed my life for the better. I had heard about the program in some online health&fitness groups that I am in, but it was always framed in a "30 day diet" kind of way. When I finally went to the website to read the rules and make the decision for myself, I was surprised to see that there was a lot more to it. Reading this book helped me gain the right perspective for the healthy changes I was making.

If you are considering the Whole30, please read this book. It provides science behind the program, gives you the why, and gets your head on correctly about WHY you would want to participate in the program. It isn't something you do for 30 days to drop weight and then go back to your normal eating habits -- reintroduction is just as important. I cannot recommend this enough.

My Review: I had all sorts of problems. You can read about them here. When a friend suggested that I try the Paleo Diet I had to admit I was skeptical. I had tried other diets but always failed at them. I had tried Weight Watchers for YEARS and felt tired and I actually gained weight. I couldn't seem to control my cravings at all. I had heard about the Whole30 but I thought I would never be able to give up my diet coke and pizza. I decided to try it for 30 days after reading this book and boy, did my life and perceptions change! I am now a believer in this way of eating. When I start something I want to know about it as deeply as possible so I went on a binge read of everything paleo/primal. I learned a lot. I fell with information that I can better ward off the temptation to cheat and to stay with it for the long haul.

If you are looking for an eating plan that will change your life this is it! I highly recommend this book.This review was originally posted on Adventures in Never Never Land
