Can you change your life just by changing the food you put on your plate? Our Whole30 program will prove you can, with results you never expected. Since 2009, Dallas and Melissa Hartwig's critically-acclaimed Whole30 program has quietly led thousands of people to effortless weight loss and better health--along with stunning improvements in sleep quality, energy levels, mood, and self-esteem. More significant, many have discovered they can dramatically decrease or eliminate the symptoms of their medical condition just by following the program. The Whole30 accomplishes all of this by specifically targeting your habits and your emotional relationship with food. The program is designed to help you break unhealthy patterns of behavior, stop stress-related comfort eating, and reduce cravings, particularly for sugar and carbohydrates. Finally, you too can achieve what so many Whole30 participants have described as "food freedom"--in just thirty days. In their New York Times Bestselling book It Starts With Food, Dallas and Melissa explained the science behind their revolutionary Whole30 program. Now, they have enlisted the help of Chef Richard Bradford to provide you with all of the resources you need to embark upon your own Whole30 transformation. The Whole30 Handbook gets you ready for the program in eight easy steps, previews a typical 30 days with our Whole30 Timeline, teaches you the basic meal preparation and cooking skills you'll need to succeed, and provides you with a month's worth of recipes designed to build your confidence in the kitchen and inspire your taste buds. Motivating and inspiring with just the right amount of Dallas and Melissa's signature tough love, The Whole30 Handbook features real-life success stories, an extensive quick-reference FAQ, detailed elimination and reintroduction guidelines, and more than 100 recipes using familiar ingredients, from simple one-pot meals to complete dinner party menus.
