Whole30
Like any elimination diet, the Whole30 program forces you to give up a lot of food groups you may not be used to removing. Even if you’ve never been dairy-free, gluten-free or sugar-free, don’t stress! There are still plenty of easy, delicious Whole30-friendly weeknight dinners to be had like gluten and dairy-free fish pie, sheet pan ginger chicken, oven baked halibut, and Spanish fish stew.
My favorite part of the Whole30 program is eliminating added sugar. It is a great way to support a natural liver detox, cure skin issues like perioral dermatitis naturally, and get rid of unwanted gut bacteria during SIBO treatments. Looking for Whole30 ideas? Instead of something sweet, try sausage frittata for a paleo breakfast, and spinach mashed potatoes or sheet pan salsa potatoes on the side.
