So it's mostly low carb but also no dairy. It also frowns on most vegetable oils. Olive oil ok, as is clarified butter (only exception to dairy).The idea is to eliminate grains, dairy sugar, alcohol to reduce inflammation & also retrain your palate & teach you to eat more real food. Coffee & tea ok, but no milk, or artificial sweeteners. Supposed to increase energy & improve sleep & overall feeling of wellbeing ( via anti- inflammatory effect, I think) Supposed to do it for a month, so I am doing it in June. Will feed back.
If anyone else has tried this, I would appreciate a post.

What can you eat? What will your daily diet look like?

Moanranger did you start whole30? If so how are you getting on?

I've low carb'ed for some time now (though have fallen off the wagon recently) and I'm now looking at stopping dairy. I have fibromyalgia and I want to see if being strict and cutting dairy out will help. I'm still debating giving up nightshades as I'm not sure what I will eat without peppers and tomatoes!! I'm planning to then move on to a more Paleo based diet. I'd be interested in hearing how you managed.

I know this is an old thread, but for reference: yes. I do a W30 regularly (3 times a year?) About to start my next one in September. What I find hardest is the same as on any diet: needing to be organized so I don't just shovel crap when I'm tired and there's nothing to hand. I tend to eat eggs and spinach for breakfast in various forms (I've just made a big batch of egg muffins to go in the freezer for next month); then I quite often have a tuna salad for lunch (tuna, celery, grapes, spinach, whatever I can find with lemon juice and home-made mayo) and then dinner is not dissimilar to what I eat in real life (tonight it's a beef stew that has been lurking in the back of the freezer, probably with a baked spud and maybe some veggies if I have any.) I usually feel brilliant and love it and think I'm going to eat W30 my whole life and then something happens (you know, life) and it all goes Pete Tong. My vices are wine and chocolate, which sadly are not W30 compliant.

Semolina I do paleo and do eat dark good quality chocolate and have found a vegan shop that sells a huge range of different types of dark chocolate. My favourite at the moment is pear and vanilla but love sea salt too.
