Like the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/paleo-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paleo Diet<\/a><\/strong>, this diet is restrictive and needs to be adhered to absolutely. It was developed by Dallas and Melissa Hartwig, two sports nutritionists and overall fitness fanatics. Since 2009, they have helped millions of people get their health and fitness back on track, guided by their book\u00a0&#8220;<strong>It Starts with Food<\/strong>&#8220;. They claim that the key is changing your relationship with food so that you see food as <strong>fuel<\/strong> and not as a reward or something to depend on when you&#8217;re bored\/sad\/angry. By changing your relationship with food you will begin to note what you eat and how it affects your body.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_you_will_be_eating\"><\/span>What you will be eating<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Whole30<\/strong> is tough since it restricts what you will be eating for the next 30 days. The <a href=\"http:\/\/whole30.com\/downloads\/official-whole30-program-rules.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">rules<\/a>\u00a0state that you can enjoy a wide variety of <strong>fruits<\/strong>, <strong>veggies<\/strong>, and <strong>proteins<\/strong> supplemented by <strong>healthy fats<\/strong> like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/buy-nuts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> nuts<\/a>, seeds, and oils. You must avoid certain <strong>food groups<\/strong> like dairy, grains, legumes, and <strong>sugar<\/strong>. This diet is meant as a reset, to let your gut heal and<strong> change<\/strong> the way you eat, so by eliminating these foods you allow your body to only eat healthy, nutritious foods. When doing this diet you should eat things that have few ingredients and definitely no added sugar. This is the most difficult thing since you must read food labels very carefully-manufacturers sneak sugar into everything! There&#8217;s no need to restrict calories or fat on this diet since you will be eating only nutrient-dense foods that will fuel your body through the day. Your tastes will change throughout the 30 days and instead of cringing at veggies and longing for French fries you will <strong>learn<\/strong> to want things that keep you <strong>satisfied<\/strong>, mentally and physically.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article:<\/em>\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/health-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Best health food shops in Barcelona<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_benefits\"><\/span>The benefits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_73417\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-73417\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-73417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Whole30-food-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by: Brad Montgomery via Visualhunt \/ CC BY\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-73417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by: Brad Montgomery via Visualhunt<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This <strong>diet<\/strong> can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shape.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\">benefit<\/a> those that are looking to <strong>cure<\/strong> several different health problems like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/food-allergy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">allergies<\/a>,<\/strong> inflammation, and leaky gut. Many people have reported that their lives have changed for the better after completing this diet. Not only does it change your relationship with food but also it can help relieve lifelong ailments, simply by changing what you eat. You will notice that your skin will get clearer, your clothes will start to fit better as you build muscle mass, and you fall asleep and sleep through the night better. There are countless benefits to a diet that incorporates whole foods with a focus on fruits and vegetables. However, this diet is <strong>difficult<\/strong> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/vegetarian-restaurant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vegetarians<\/a> and impossible for vegans since you need to eat lean protein throughout the day.
