I am not alergic to gluten but I can not eat wheat, white and brown rice, oatmeal and quinoa. I am allergic to them. Not even eggs and red meat. This diet sounds Really good to me. Very clean and healthy. No canola, soy, sunflower, corn oils. Yes to coconut, olive oil, avocado
What are your thoughts on sleep and how they affect overall body management?
Hi doctor Mike, would be able to do a video on the carnivore diet? It seems there are more and more advocates, (some who have been doing it anywhere from 2 to 20 years (allegedly)) for it, and claiming great results/changes. Would love to get your perspective on it.
I can’t believe grains and beans are considered a “no”. Those are so healthy for most people, especially beans!
This was a nicely balanced review. I would definitely caution people against this diet. They espouse a lot of misinformation that can leave people confused over what a healthy diet looks like. More on that here https://nutritionasiknowit.com/whole30/
Next challenge do 3o day pandemic challange you get to be in your house for 30days! Ahah funny..
I may check this challenge out. What I’m realizing by juicing (and from previously drinking a gallon of water a day) is that food is very much a mental thing. Do I miss chewing? Yes, but I’m realizing that I snack way more than my body needs.
Props to your self determination. I couldn’t do this 1. Cause I love cookies n cream milkshakes too much to give it up for 30 days. 2. I’m Hispanic lol I need my arroz con frijoles and my favorite MOZZARELLA CHEESE!!!
I finished whole30 and lost 18 lbs. During, I did struggle in the gym so I modified the intensity. I have no desire to eat processed foods anymore which I thought was impossible. Sex life is unbelievable. Post 3 weeks and have slowly reintroduced some dairy, grains and beans. sugar temptations are gone. Would recommend to anyone!
I can’t do that because alone my main snack is about five slices of cracker barrel cheddar slices dipped in ranch.
I think people are missing the point at what the whole 30 is trying to do. The studies he cited are regarding long-term low carbohydrate diets. He also failed to mention that the meta-analysis he cited found no statistically significant association between low-carbohydrate diets and cardiovascular disease. In addition, the study cited numerous limitations and admitted that low-carb diets are not necessarily causation for increased mortality, but simply there is a correlation (two very different things). The whole 30 keeps getting called a diet, but it is JUST 30 DAYS. To me, it is meant to wing people off of harmful complex carbs, added sugar, alcohol, and other heavily processed foods, at which point, you should be transitioning to something much more sustainable that reincorporates foods like whole grains. It is not a lifestyle diet such a vegan, paleo, keto, atkins, etc, so I’m not sure why it’s being compared to those. There are different ways to do the whole 30 too…..if you’re smart, you aren’t frying your eggs in butter or eating processed meats. And let’s not call healthy oils and fats processed foods as an argument for christ sake?! We all know there is a huge difference between those types of foods and things like poptarts, white bread, chicken nuggets, and doritos. Now I’m starving….bye
My doctor said I’m fat and that’s why my legs go numb….. not like the cauda equina had anything to do with it, put me on the whole 30 instead of I don’t know, helping me with PT or talking about the surgery for the first time ever. Nope, I eat healthy cook all my own meals, can my own sauces and fruit, work out at the gym for 3 hours 3 days a week, or maybe the fact I’m 37 female who had two c sections. None of that was even a factor for him. I have been on it with no luck on dropping inches nor lbs. I just wanted to know if I’m wrong in saying that I don’t think he really cares and is just throwing a gimmick to shut me down for a month? I was hurt 15 years ago in the Army then again 9 years ago when I was body-slammed on concrete both making my back worse and never getting any help. So, should I stick with the whole 30 or just give up?
My boss was told to do the Whole 30 diet to help see if it would help with digestion issues. It did and he is still on it today. They tild him the 30 days is to give you a long enough period to see if it works or not.
Why is there so much crappy food in that hospital? Sugar is poison, it’s a well proven scientific fact. And btw, eating healthy is not that expensive, that Thrive Market is bs as much as Whole Foods Market is.
I did the whole 30, I liked it but I didn’t use ghee! That made no sense to me. I still don’t eat dairy, or much sugar. I just try and eat whole foods and I try to be more plant based. Also how she still eats an elimination diet?! I have MS and i just avoid the foods that cause inflammation.
I agree that this is not a good diet, no whole grains and legumes is all you have to say; however, I have seen it be a good starting point for someone who ate a really bad diet. I had a co-worker who did this diet, and it really changed her overall eating habits for the better. Many people don’t really know what food is, and the idea of eating a sweet potato and making sauces out of vegetables is like a whole new world.
HUMANS have to find an excuse for consumption. The body is a well designed machine, built on frequency sounds tones and vibrations. “HUMANS” get in the way of its own repairing ability with its EGO that it knows what it needs. The HUMAN species is very unconscious and has forgotten who they are. The environment in which the body lives, either natural or not natural, will determine its response. Talk to the body, it will tell you what it is requiring to operate. It is not that complicated.
Excellent, logical critique of the Whole 30I love the emphasis on whole food based but as with most “popular” diets, they blow it with pseudoscience and restrictions
You should know that there’s a little pill for better performance in males! ����
I believe Ghee is after removing the saturated fat, just the oil not the saturated fat.
Oh I feel him �� I LOVE CHEESE �� I’m currently giving up dairy for 30 days to see if it helps with my bloating and I AM SUFFERING!
No healthy cheats…?
That’s the same semantics that became the concept of “clean eating”.
I have a couple questions as I am currently doing a modified version of the whole 30. I didn’t cut out butter as I did not want to deal withe ghee, does that make any significant improvement to the diet? for meals I tend to have just a salad or soup like meal with a lot of veggies and fruits, meat is usually not that big of a role in my meals, is this better? also what am I losing by eating a low carb diet and is there anyway I can add carbs while staying true to the diet? should I just quit?
I generally agree with you, but I have seen people dramatically improve their health on the whole 30 train simply because they’re eating more fruits and veggies than they ever have before! Step in the right direction?:shrug:
Tons of out of date information. Not scientifically true. Based on poorly done research.
The Whole30 diet completely cured my acne vs every other diet i tried including veganism did nothing. I dont care whaf you have to say by default it is supreme for me. The point of the diet is reduced inflamation, which it does very well.
I agree completely. I do agree although that at least completely cutting out sugar and processed food for 30s days myself because of personal experience because I can tell you the reason they say that is because if u successfully get through it I can guarantee you won’t crave it again. Anyways, I do see what ur saying I myself was orthorexic and underweight so much so o didn’t even get my period (sorry it’s science). I think a balanced lifestyle is great but if u can sustain 30 days without garbage food without a single cheat u won’t even crave it anymore
I agree they are just feeding off a low carb diet. Just another way to spend more money xx
The Doctors who push the ketogenic diet do warn against eating bacon burgers twice a day. The Whole 30 Diet is worse than the ketogenic diet done correctly. It is just amazing how bad it is!
My sister has a dairy allergy. A lot of people confuse it with lactose intolerance, but she a
has a legit ALLERGY. She’s used to sometimes having to skip entire meals because she can’t have it. I honestly feel a little guilty whenever I eat a super milky dessert, like ice cream. Whenever I eat something she can’t have, she always asks if she can smell it.
1. Legumes: people are scared of farts! They confuse crohn’s disease with farts! Some people; however, who do suffer from real crohn’s disease may benefit from legume-free diet. 2. Single study does not mean anything! A study to be viewed as scientifically valid must be pier reviewed as well as replicated independently and that second study must be peer reviewed as well, then and only then it can be viewed as reliable science. 3. Cereals and pseudo-cereals are high in omega 6 and low in omega 3.
While I’m not vegan, I really appreciated this video’s analytical approach to fad diets like this one. Plus, I got a good laugh!
People are missing the POINT of this “diet.” It’s an elimination diet trying to help you figure out what inflames your body. AFTERWARDS you slow incorporate these foods back to see how they effect you. If legumes do not effect your body negatively you can eat it. If dairy doesn’t bother youeat it. It’s not about whether they’re healthy or not. It’s about helping your body by trying to understand it. Fruits are limited (higher glycemic fruits) because another point is to kick sugar cravings. Some fruits are extremely high in sugar and i know for someone like me it can cause me to binge. THIS ISN’T MEANT TO BE LONG TERM. IT IS AN ELIMINATION DIET. NOT MEANT FOR WEIGHT LOSS. THEY ARE CUTTING OUT COMMON INFLAMMATORY FOODS TO SEE IF THAT IS AN INFLAMMATORY TO YOUR OWN BODY. You obviously have not researched yourself what this “diet” is about. It’s not about being low carb. It’s not about losing weight.
Moral of the story from these diet video Mike sucks at planning ahead he forgot about thanksgiving for crying out loud
You need to read the books they came out with. Plenty of research in those. As for too many animal products, eating 1-2 servings of meat is healthy for you, you get plenty of amino acids that your body needs to replace the cells we lose every day as well as help the rest of our body function. The whole30 in an anti inflammatory diet, you are ment to eat whole foods, like meat, eggs, fish, veggies, starches and fruit, as for oils, pure avocado oil and coconut oil is healthy for you, but you dont add straight oil to your food, you add half an avocado or 10 olives to each meal, and it is to help you feel fuller. Also the bacon she is eating is most likely sugar free and nitrate free. Grains as hard on your digestive tract and for most people who have issues with gluten, they are highly inflammatory, yes including quinoa, as forlegumes, they are great, how ever they are high is phytic acid which is hard for your gut to digest as well. Paleo is also a great because it is like the whole30, minus the ghee, green beans, seeds and seed oils and peas. This diet is fantastic for resetting your body, and at least unlike vegan people who eat paleo or whole30 are not depriving their bodies of much needed amino acids and filling it with other garbage like grains. Of course there are acceptions to every rule, and you shouldn’t bash a diet unless you actually try it. Do what works for you, but this works for a lot of people, and not just because they quite drinking alcohol.
You are doing yourself (and the diets you try) a disservice by not planning well for these 30 day challenges. If you do it that way it’s just hard and the benefits are not worth the inconvenience. I’m pretty sure it explicitly says in the Whole 30 guidelines to NOT attempt this when there are holidays coming up, if you have trips planned, etc.
0:05 yeah that’s the least of everyone’s problem in 2020 ����
Yeah Whole30 is a cult and it’s weird. I tried it at the beginning of the year. They push meat, tell you to eat as many eggs for one serving as you hold in your hand, tell you that you need more salt and you’re horrible feelings emotionally or physically are “cleansing” you. You’re not supposed to snack ever, and even if you’re eating less than 1k calories a day (because you don’t have time cook every single meal) a slip up of eating anything off plan means your whole 30 is null and void, and any issues you had were your fault, not the plan’s. I got so depressed after a month that I stopped and went back to eating normally. No clue what was causing it, but that diet is not good for people!
Mark, you either don’t understand the diet at all or are being willfully disingenuous, one of the two. I’ll assume the former. If you’d done the slightest research you’d know what the diet is actually trying to do. The authors want you to remove all potentially inflammatory (huge emphasis on potentially) foods for 30 days so that you can find out which, if any, foods might be causing you problems that you didn’t even know were problems. Once you have established a baseline of minimal sugar cravings/inflammation/etc…, they tell you to slowly, over the course of a few weeks, start reintroducing the previously eliminated foods one at a time to see if you are sensitive and/or have bad reactions. Once you have determined which foods you can eat without consequences you are free to continue to do so. The authors do say it’s possible to stay on the Whole30 diet for extended (or lifelong) periods of time, but that it’s not what the diet was intended for, and that for most people it’s probably not a practical solution.
Mark, c’mon man… You’re just flat out pulling this video out of your ass. Do better.
Yeah my parents are sold on the whole “ghee is good for you” bullshit.
By the way, factory farms including dairy are the number one reason for climate change soooooo… cheese is literally going to STOP the world from going around, just saying��
Your explination of the reintroduction phase sounds off. Also, part of the purpose of the diet is to reduce inflammation.
Before you watch this video or make a video about Whole30 please read the book. If you haven’t read the book you’re just talking nonsense and don’t know anything about the whole30 detox. It’s not a diet! It’s a body cleanse. Please stfu! Thanks!
I don’t usually comment on videos, but I feel like you don’t really understand the purpose of Whole30.
I want to start by saying I am 100% with you on both the global and individual benefits of a vegan or plant protein based diet. I won’t debate that. However, for some people, they are a very long way off from that.
Whole30 is not and never has been a weightloss diet. Its a food intervention that offers concrete proof to participants that what you eat can have an effect beyond your waistline. They make it very clear that for some people, you won’t lost anything. That’s why they say don’t weigh yourself on the program because they don’t want you to give up if the number on the scale doesn’t change. It’s also meant to be temporary, hence why it’s 30 days.
In my experience with whole30, my skin cleared up, my depression was under control, i had a lot more energy, and was inspired to cook with a lot if plant based ingredients i hadn’t tried before. When trying to reintroduce foods back into my diet, i realised I couldn’t process dairy or gluten. Its an eye opener to discover that the way you felt before isn’t how you HAVE to feel for the rest of your life. That realization made it a no brainer to switch to a healthier, more plant based lifestyle.
If you want global change, understand that its not always easy for people. People are very set in their ways. Instead of cutting something down that makes people open to changing, celebrate any victories in the right direction.
I’m doing the whole30 right now but I have replaced meat with beans. We’ll see if it works. I’m not by any chance a vegan, just really hate meat. No clue why I don’t like it, I just don’t. So I kinda agree with you about the meat portion. The part about Saturated fats, they say to use avocado oil, coconut oil, Olive oil. Those are pretty good. And yeah the ghee is disgusting. I’m still using regular butter, just no other dairy. See if those changes help
If you actually read the book, which is based on data from multiple nutritionists, doctors & scientists, not just Melissa hartwig’s own opinion, then you would know the reasoning behind removing grains and legumes from your diet is because they cause inflammation, and your body doesn’t actually process the nutrients you think you’re getting from them. And you only have to be this extreme for 30 days, then add that shit back in if it suits you. Also acting like we just eat a bunch of garbage processed meat is inaccurate. You are encouraged to only by locally sourced, nitrate, sugar free meats. I wish if you were going to criticize something, you would have done more research than a quick skim over a sample of info on the internet.
You’re a perfect example of why most of the world thinks vegans are idiots.
The Miami art festival official confirms my suspicion that Dr. Mike is the real life manifestation of Dr. Benjamin Ettenberg from Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Please make a video on eating disorders and eating disorder recovery.
I love your videos! Very accurate! Keep going please. Send you good vibes
Honestly Mark I look forward to your info you make common sense. You put things into perspective in a real honest common sense way. I love it.
1:40-I think you mean 80% fat, 20% protein, not the other way around
Great video. One of these days I’ll be a big dog like you and we can do a collab together. #FitnessLove
All these fad diets piss me off, even more so because lots of people fall for them. Miss me with that ovo-lacto-semi-whole30-flexitarian shit.
Umm….I watched the whole video. Where is the debunking of Whole 30 in it? I don’t see it anywhere.
Can you please do a Mediterranean Diet? I’ve seen your vegan and keto diet videos and found it very helpful! Thank you so much!!!
Maybe the 30 actually stands for the grams of saturated you eat a day! Yikes!
You are taking the entire thing out of context. This is a short term “diet” designed to help you identify food allergies and sensitivities. It is about learning how to eat. It clearly says it is not for weight loss. You didn’t say a word about reintroduction and assumed that everyone who does this is constantly consuming ghee which is completely irrational. At least address the entirety of something you want to “debunk” before slandering a diet with your combative radical ideas.
ive been doing whole 30 for 3.5 weeks and i have only lost like 3 pounds!! (ik ur not supposed to weigh yourself but.. oops). anyway, i went from 143lbs to 140 and when i used to eat vegetarian/mostly vegan i was around 135 lbs AND even got down to 130 lbs when i started running as well. i definitely want to go back to vegan lol.
I did buy the whole 30 book probably about a year ago mainly because it was dairy free. I was thinking I’d find some good recipes that I could just alter slightly to replace or eliminate the meat/eggs. I was SO WRONG. I might as well have started from scratch, because the majority of the meals were leafy greens with meat and/or eggs on top, not even a lot of good dressing recipes, because it was mostly ghee. -_I think I gave it to my mother (who is way too smart to eat fried foods and ghee OR butter)… but after this video, now I just feel dirty for buying it. xD I think it’s a little late to get my money back. lol!
Thank you so much for addressing that these restrictive diets can lead to eating disorders and aren’t always healthy for you. Thank you for doing this video responsibly ❤
It’s not low carb cleanse because you can have potatoes and fruits!! Idiot.
hey mike im a big fan i was wondering do you have a meal chart like what should i eat for 30day 3 meals a day breakfast lunch dinner im 230bls bin watching the videos for a while i wanna make the jump to being vegan i wanna do this and record my journey i know i’m not good if i do it with out a 30 day layout kinda need a good push start
You can have snacks there is not portion control. You eat eat eat. Whole 30 is eliminating processed food. Whole 30 is a jump start.
They tell you to limit fruit to knock down your SUGAR intake, not carbs. Foods like Plantains, Potatoes (yes, all types of potatoes are allowed on whole30, not just sweet), or squash would not be allowed if it was a low carb diet. And anyway, fruits are definitely allowed, just have to be consumed in moderation!!! It’s really easy to overdo it on fruit, and the sugar adds up quickly. This video was so bad, it’s almost like you didn’t even try the diet yourself or at least talked to a real life person who has tried the diet lol. It’s 30 days of whole foods but of course you have to poop on it since it includes animal products ����.
its not a diet. its an elimination of the items that cause inflammation in the body. its not about weightloss although people use it for that but its true form is to reintroduce those items after 30 days one at a time to see how you feel.
Not advocating for Whole30, but pretty sure their rule around bacon is that its allowed if it’s *uncured.*. Not sure if the reasoning behind that is that it makes it less carcinogenic or what. Just trying to help this video be as accurate as possible.
Like you’re a freakin’ expert on the whole 30. Not everyone lathers ghee on everything while on the whole30. People like myself use Avocado and olive oil first as a healthy fat before using ghee. And the whole 30 is not for weight loss. Nor is it long term. It helps us understand our bodies that much more when we add things like whole grains and beans back into our diet. Some people get reactions to those things. So it’s good to know if something doesn’t sit well with our own personal body.
Mic, this vid is truly a tour de force. Thank you. Keep up the magnificent work.
The reason they include legumes is that it can be a trigger for some with irritable bowel syndrome. There’s a lot of information about it if you just search low FODMAP diet, which is basically a elimination diet specifically made for people with IBS, and if you ask me is the better option for people with IBS suffers as it isn’t as restrictive as the whole 30 diet and low FODMAP is well researched and what is generally recommended for those with IBS. That being said if someone doesn’t know that they have IBS and tries this instead, which perhaps helps them have less symptoms that’s still better than if they never figure out what is causing their digestive issues.
Sorry for the ramble, I hope I explained it halfway decent.
You should maybe read her book It Starts With Food where she does, in fact, back up with a lot of research (And encourages the reader to follow up on the research for themselves). The program is meant to eliminate foods that could be reactive and after 30 days, you reintroduce foods, one at a time and decide if they are good or bad for you. It is not and has never been marketed as a weight loss diet, nor is it meant to be long term.
So mr vegan researcher tell me what you think about dash diet? I do this 2/3 of year with if and 1/3 is keto +if and this is cause genemutation this helps my conditions
OMG! I’m so subscribing right NOW!! So good. I love informed, intelligent debunking.
I was gonna email Blue Apron and ask them for help with diabetic patients. This idea is not patent and may not even be original. But whole food and Basal-bolus will save end stage diabetic patients. And Medicare funding goes to primary care. Not toe cutting even though it’s all I wanted to be is just a toe surgeon and cutting toes every single f day. Sorry for the edit but had to make grammar more presentable.
I don’t have any health issue and I still had a heartburn just looking at those food pics lol
Nice video! Lots of scietinficaly comproved facts and still funny
!
The thing I disagree with the Whole 30 diet is that it’s short term results instead if eating healthier food for long term results and with some cheating in moderation UPDATE: Its NOT just 30 days, it’s just to eliminate and then modify the diet after the 30 days. So you’re still on a diet but it’s a little bit open than the first 30 days
I did this diet twice and used to recommend it to others. I completely regret it. I had to pile on the “compliant” (their lingo for “allowed”) carbs to get through my days. Too much fat has always turned my stomach and I could never manage to eat the amount they pushed. Also, my digestion wasn’t great. Even with piles of vegetables, I struggled to get over 20g of fiber each day. I felt pretty good the first time (as long as I ate lots of those allowed carbs) but now I think it had more to do with the removal of junk food and alcohol. Glad to see it debunked in such a logical way. Today I had four servings of fruit and a sandwich on whole wheat. Feeling great.
Im interested to hear your views on their book, “It Starts With Food,” they have a lot of “facts” and information in there that seem sound but.. I value your opinion
I tried the whole 30 (age 20) to better understand my dietary habits and what certain foods do to my body. It basically showed me that I’m sensitive to lactose and gluten. It also showed how my eating habits really affected me in my energy, clarity, and overall performance in daily life. My skin cleared up, I slept better, waking up wasn’t a pain for the first time in my life! Now (age 25) I’ve used what I learned and make better habits with food. I agree with Doctor Mike that it’s a bit overboard and not necessarily the BEST diet BUT it is a clear set of rules to follow that can lead to better food awareness. I could’ve seen these changes by “just eating healthier” but I didn’t know what that meant when I was 20. 4.5 years later, I stick to simple food that’s unprocessed, while allowing treats here and there in moderation. I feel great.
Whole 30 is full poop. Ironically… Causing constipation ��
Great video and very informative.. My friend swears by whole30. She was glad to get off dairy and She lost weight. I wanted to try the whole30 and replace the meat with beans, but like you said they frowned on beans which turned me off. However, now Whole30 has a book called “Food Freedom forever” that I ordered. There is a section for vegans and vegetarians.
years ago, i tried this ridiculous diet. the only reason it helps you lose weight is because eating like this is gross
We only lived once, why’d you get rid of anything delicious at the same time? my grandpa eat what he wants, still walk every morning, and living his best life for 78 years
Dr. Mike: “It’s not because I’m 30!”
Me…but in my mother’s voice…”It’s maybe a little because you just turned 30″
Mic, Dr Essylstyn, and Dr McDougall have both done studies and proven that Arthritis can be reversed through a vegan diet (with no oil, low fat, high nitric oxide greens based), please do a video on this, people NEED to know ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I appreciate debate but to completely lie and deliberately misquote and misinform people for the sake of elevating your way of eating is simply wrong. I have absolutely no respect for you or anything you have to say and zero tolerance for liars like you. It is behavior like this that I cannot tolerate from the vegan community and the part that turns me off the most.
You’re an idiot and you lie. First this is NOT a diet it’s clean eating to help stop eating sugar and processed foods. This is said from the very beginning https://whole30.com/ It’s also meant to help people change unhealthy eating habits. Whole30 is not designed for the vegan nor does it state anywhere that vegan eating is unhealthy. Yet you try to make it seem that it is why? For what purpose? Because the plan includes animal products? Obviously it’s not designed for vegans or vegetarians however either can done it by modifying the plan by simply eliminating junk processed vegan food sugar and alcohol and eat WFPB for 30 days.
Had you really read the plan you would tell the truth: It’s an elimination food plan you follow for 30 days. It specifically states that this is to be done for 30 days only and that is not a way of eating indefinitely. After the 30 days you introduce grains, legumes and other groups one by one each week to see how the foods effect you. This is no different than what a doctor puts patients on who suffer from IBS. Two foods known to irritate those who suffer from IBS are grains and legumes. Many IBS sufferers come to identify which foods do bother them after the 30 day period. And many actually get better or clear their symptoms from the plan. Also NOWHERE in Whole30 does it say to eat five teaspoons or tablespoons of ANY fat. Contrary to your misinformation (or just downright lies) the plan asks you to be mindful of the fats of oils olive and or coconutyou eat and also emphasizes to try and get your fats from healthy foods such as avocado and nuts. Sugar is off limits as well as trying to create deserts with Whole 30 compliant foods. This is to help your break your sugar habits.
I hope people start to wake up and see you for what you really are. An idiot.
There is certainly more than one way to be healthy. However I will say I have been on the whole 30 for 3 months now. I went from 225 to 186 and have never felt better in my life. I’m happy with my body like never before. For someone in college, this diet was very easy and gave me instant results. Cutting out the junk foods wasn’t hard after about 3 weeks. I cheat every now and then but see no setbacks. For me personally I love the diet.
I still do not understand why people think that losing weight should be deliberate way to punish your self. You should feel miserable and hungry else you are not losing weight? The whole industry is way too much focused on weight loss as being healthy and if that would be case i would recommend going for a heroine diet. The weight-loss is absolutely phenomenal. Is it healthy, well… That is the whole crux, we need become healthy. NOT being obsessed by being as thin as supermodels and super jacked as body builders and fitness models. We should focus on health, that is why the advice to seek professional guidance is the best advice some one can give. They most likely will have your blood work tested, check on allergies, check on deficiencies. Your food only contributes so much to your health, factors as lifestyle and your genes are also major consideration. That is why one size fit all solutions never work. Remember magic does not exists, so there is no magic pill and there is no magic food. Yes calories are not created equal but that does not mean that one food will cure everything and other will not.
I’ve been vegan and I’ve also done Whole30. From my understanding, Whole30 eliminates food that commonly cause inflammation or dietary distress, thus the legumes and grains (ie gluten). It’s not a lifestyle, it’s literally for 30 days to figure out what foods you may not react well too. For me, Whole30 gave me a better relationship with food than being vegan did and I was able to pinpoint what foods gave me acne or GI problems. I also just felt better and had more energy and was more positive. With both veganism and Whole30, there is a way to do it right and wrong and I think both diets can be beneficial if done correctly.
Of course you don’t like this diet, you are trying to sell dairy based protein which whole 30 says to eliminate!
Uh Mic I think you are confusing arachidic acid with arachidonic acid, arachidonic acid is an omega 6 fatty acid mostly found in polyunsaturated fat. Animal fat is mostly saturated and monounsaturated and plant oils are mostly polyunsaturated.
I get that you’re against ghee, since it’s an animal product and you follow a diet that doesn’t allow any. But you kinda over-exaggerated. Yes ghee is allowed on Whole30 and on Paleo but the average person following these diets aren’t drinking it by the cupful lol. I don’t think you realize how EXPENSIVE ghee is, it’s like 8 or 9 dollars for a tiny 10 oz jar. I started out doing whole30 and now have been Paleo for over a year and haven’t tried ghee not even once.
The only food common to ALL the healthy long-lived Blue Zones populations is the bean of one kind or another. The minute I heard ‘no legumes’ I knew it was an unhealthy diet. And then no whole grains? Thumbs down for this diet for sure.
What is legumes?
Me: Mhmmm… oh wait isn’t that vegetable in french?
I am now mostly plant based but I did several Whole 30 resets (it is not a weight loss diet) many years ago and discovered that I cannot eat legumes because I am so sensitive to them. I would not have discovered that without doing Whole 30 and slowly reintroducing each elimimated food one at a time. I have since transitioned to a mostly plant based diet (minus beans) but am thankful to the Whole 30 for changing my food choices long ago. Read her book “It Starts with Food” which was the basis of the Whole 30 program. It is filled with scientific research to back her claims. I agree that if you are eating a standard american diet you will feel so much better on the Whole 30 due to the decreased inflammation from giving up dairy, sugar, alcohol, gluten, and legumes (for me). But then eventually one needs to eliminate or seriously eliminate animal products in order to continue the anti inflammatory process. Her follow up book called Food Freedom is also good for helping people learn to make long term food choices (including VEGAN and vegetarian). Her approach is that you have to be your own researcher to discover how your body feels best when eating. Just because YOU can eat legumes without restriction, I cannot. I literally blow up my stomach on legumes. Now that being said, I have moved to mostly plant based because of animal agricultural and saturated fat concerns, but I still think Whole 30 was beneficial for me at that stage in my life. Why not talk to Melissa about veganism and see if she might not see the light and create a vegan whole 30? She is super smart and does study research and would possibly be open to a discussion with you!
I was my healthiest with the whole30. My body shed off 10 pounds in about 21 days. No, it’s not just meat and eggs lol. Incorporate so many veggies in there meals. This video is so biased and doesn’t present any facts except “read this article” which we know no one will actually click and read the articles.
I came with 300 thumbs down.��buuùuuuuuuuuuuuuuut 24k thumbs up��.
Btw. I didn’t restrict any calories when my boy shed off 10 lbs. I ate everything that was whol30 compliant and only ate when I was hungry. If y’all havent done the whole30 I suggest you check it out. Lol. This guy is only focusing on the lipids whole30 use. Which we know lipids are actually beneficial for you body….cell are made out of lipids….
What I’m not agree lady is with your HUGE glasses ��
������ Sorry, but if Never did make the whole 30 diet\program you can Not give your opinion because you do Not know the Real results. Sorry, I do Not trust your opinion. ��
the best trick for drinking non-alcoholic drinks around people is to order a sparkling/seltzer water with lime in a clear glass. No one will know the wiser.
I love you!!!!! You make me laugh! Thanks for clearing this up!!
Universal Recommendation:
Stay home and quarantine to avoid the spread of Covid-19
I have done Whole30. I think that Dr. Mike missed one VERY important part of the description of Whole30. It isn’t an elimination diet to lose weight, though that may happen; it is a diet to help locate food sensitivities. That is why some of the healthy foods (black beans, quinoa, brown rice) are cut out. It is still something to think about and plan before doing, but the goal of Whole30 is not to just lose weight.
If you are ever feeling peer pressure due to not drinking alcohol, and you are the kind of person who wants avoid that confrontation altogether: order a soda water with lime in a glass. It will look like a gin and tonic!:)
(Remember though, you NEVER have to drink, or even fake drink, if you don’t want to. Don’t let other peoples’ opinions make up your mind for you.)
Can you trie to fast a whole month of ramadan….next year?!!
Can you also explain its benefits?!!
Wait, are whole foods healthy for you? I always thought they were
I like this video but I couldn’t disagree more in regard to the toxic industrial Cito else that you are recommending. There is no reason to limit saturated fats, never been a study to indicate they are actually unhealthy.
Only benefit I had on whole 30 was zero asthmatic attacks. Probably because I had reactions from dairy products. Now I do carnivore �� also no dairy.
So you use Americans heart Association as your reference really. If their advices are right we won’t have the epidemic heart diseases.
The whole30 really isn’t a diet. It’s an elimination eating plan, that allows you to cut things from your diet that might be problematic for you personally. So the foods that are removed are simply things that have been linked to skin/gut/sleep/energy/etc. issues in the population overall. After 30 days, you add these things back in gradually so you can see how different foods impact your personal physiology.
I personally really like the idea of the whole30 because it allows you to tailor your diet based on the way you personally react to foods, rather than basing it on the existing literature that (in my opinion) often provides lukewarm evidence for or against certain food groups. For any given dietary recommendation, you can find studies that either support or negate the benefits of that food, which is unsurprising because it’s incredibly hard to control for every variable that could potentially effect health in human nutrition trials.
The whole30 isn’t a forever eating plan; it’s just a direct way to see the impact different foods have on your body. And while ghee is “allowed,” it’s really not recommended I feel like you’ve picked the most calorically dense (and nutritionally sparse) food to focus on for the express point of vilifying the whole30, when it’s in no way a staple of the program.
i eat like absolute shit.(oreos, Doritos, mountain dew). i almost never eat vegetables unless they are part of a bigger meal. i work out occasionally and play basketball every day. and i have abs. so idek the fuck y’all doing with this diet shit. just find a sport and play it and you will be fine.
Qinoa isn’t a grain… It’s a seed, sooo you could have ate it during this
Im asian and i swear my family would get mad at me if i didnt eat rice
peer pressure is fucking wack. just let folks eat/drink what they want and stop calling them a buzz kill. SHEESH
I will say, I agree with you over all on this. I’m not vegan (though I’m working on that transitions and 100% agree with the health benefits) and I have done Whole 30 3 times. Their website isn’t completely accurate to their diet, they have a book you have to read to understand the whole diet and they do have “research” cited in the book. The point of the diet is to eliminate potential allergens and things with inflammatory responses and then add them individually back in to see what you react to. They don’t require oil/ghee specifically with every meal but they do require a fat—this fat can be one of the few oils they allow (not all oil is included), ghee, avocado, nuts, seeds, and bacon (bacon is considered a fat, not a meat in this diet). They do exclude legumes and soy but not green beans, snow peas, or sugar snap peas. They also require ANIMAL protein with every meal (you mentioned they require protein but eliminate good sources of vegan protein and that’s because they specifically require animal protein. They do make a note about non-meat eaters being allowed some Tempe to replace it but you can tell it’s looked down upon.) They also specifically tell you to eat at least 2 eggs when you eat eggs, and recommend more (as many as you can fit in your hand, is how they phrase it). Having done this diet, I can say that you do feel better after it but that’s because you’re eliminating a lot of processed/refined/sugary foods, you’re eating more consistently, and you’re probably eating more vegetables. Unfortunately, the things people like about this diet (fried foods and meat) are the least healthy part of it. Also, the girl and her husband who came up with the diet are professional trainers with high profile clients, of course they look amazing…
@mic the vegan is there any sort of conference or something youll be at where i can punch you in the face? lol
I wish I had someone knowledgeable and handsome like him to marry ������
LMAOOOO “Whole30, did your brain turn to ghee???” “… no thats just my.. sunnier disposition” omfg i lost it
You don’t toast with water that’s bad luck, and again you know how I feel I rarely drink alcohol, even in party’s
Months late but per whole30 peas aren’t allowed. They are legumes. Too bad you didn’t just eat thanksgiving dinner. ����
This year I’m gonna try o be in a pandemic, I’m not sooo sure if it will work but 2020 new year! Haha ha…:'(
I can’t stand being told I can’t do this. So those two and there minions can go live under a eock
Watching this I realize you didn’t do this diet properly, particularly when it comes to the second half. You reintroduce foods once a week not once every day or two. Did you prep your own on the go snacks to ensure you weren’t tempted to be bad? Did you check what chipotle cooked their chicken and fajita veggies in? How much planning did you do before doing this? The book mentions that the diet is time consuming and that you have to prepare but I don’t get the sense you did enough prep before doing the diet based on the actual whole30 rules rather than what other people online state in their reviews of it.
So good to hear you non biayst opinion on everything dude really helps
It’s very sad all these diets and eating lifestyle Wars it’s ridiculous… people we should eat everything in moderation just don’t eat stuff that is made in the lab… all these studies both sides talk about are continuously changing and being contradictory. Deep inside we all know what we should eat and what it’s good for us and what we feel good eating so cut the bull.
I am eating whole since about 13 years now i am a vegan not at all hard
“Everybody is looking to try a new challenge”
Getting through the pandemic would be nice ��
Could you make a video about digestion/nutrition related to eating disorder recovery? I’m in recovery from bulimia and am wondering how long it will take for eating to stop being physically painful.
So what is the “whole” for? Wholefoods? But….sausages? Shouldn’t they be eating the whole pig?
There is another person in this world loving cheese as I do. Doctor Mike has to come arround to France to get some Cheese & Wine evening ��
Dr Mike: Does food challenge
Thrive: allow us to introduce ourselves
It sounds like keto etc… i did keto for a year, i lost so much weight,looked fab BUT my cholesterol went through the roof, i developed hypothyroidism, got cysts on my ovaries,early menopause, depression….I looked healthy on the outside but was a mess inside….. im now vegan for 3 years…the weight all came back on which i hate but my bloods are now perfect….i can understand what its like to want to loose weight…i do now but i want to stay vegan…..and i dont want to go back to the bad blood works again
Tried, this is either purposefully mislead and cherry picked facts from the diet. Or you really didn’t do the research.
Peas are technically seeds, aren’t they? By that I mean they’re usually grouped with legumes…
I’ve never eaten meat in my life as I was raised a vegetarian and am now vegan. I’m doing a vegan whole30 and have lost 18 lbs in two weeks as of today. I eat fruit or a protein smoothie for breakfast and huge salads for lunch at work that are usually around 800 calories. Small dinner which is always wfpb. Working for me.
Whole 30 made me so sick! I’m back to being vegan and not feeling guilty.
Seeing it as a food video i tuned in thinking it would be interesting like your other videos but this whole30 thing is boring
Both Chipotle’s chicken and fajita vegetables are NOT Whole30 compliant, as they are cooked in rice bran oil. Sorry Dr. Mike, but you lost day one! ��
Look man, if you want people to be open minded and sit through your whole video, maybe don’t be inflammatory and hyperbolic throughout.
As someone with bipolar disorder, it really pisses me off when people claim that you can “cure” your bipolar disorder with a diet. Just NO. I know someone with bipolar disorder who landed in the hospital because they were convinced that they could cure their BD with keto and he ended up in the hospital because he got into psychosis. It’s so ignorant and dangerous, especially since a lot of people with bipolar hate their meds and are desperate to get off of them if it’s possible (I would).
Now I know, some people are probably coming here, who have a lot of faith in the vegan diet, and don’t want to hear anything bad about it, but I just ask to be open minded, because there are some issues with the diet. And it might be asking a lot, but please at least consider you may be wrong, before dropping that standard: “you are a carnivore, therefore I’m not listening to you” comment.
I get the “I can’t eat anything but….” thing at party’s and events (I’m dairy free).
Old video, I know.
But if you want a real challenge doc, then maybe contact Dr Shawn Baker and try his 90 day challenge.
If you do, plse start when you have at least one week off at work. You might find that the wc becomes your best friend in the first one or two weeks ��.
Found this out. The founder of the American Vegan Society died of an heart attack at the age of 66. Vegans what a bunch of idiots.
What!!! up!!! Marc!!! I noticed on the new tiger fitness.com site!!! When you click on supplement facts or nutritional facts!!! No ingredients come up for the product!!! Can you please address this!!! THANKS!!! Been on Tiger Fitness for years!!! Never had this problem before!!! Seems like the site is slightly new!!! If you could!!! PLEASE!!! Get Tim Muriello supplement line!!! Love Tim!!! You as well!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!
I’ve done this diet when my body was covered with allergies (caseine), and it was great for me, I felt really good when I saw the improve in my skin. Also, i realized that I dont have to spend a lot of money to be healthy (like on suplements, proteins), fruits, vegetables, real meat, rice and beans are enough.
So, im not personally vegan, but eating intense amounts of butter and meat just isnt healthy.
The maniacle laughter when he was looking at the treats at the hospital.
I think you missed the whole point of the “diet”. It’s supposed to help get you off your dependency of sugar. A lot of times, sugar has replaced the “natural” fat and/or has been added for taste or a preservative. Both are bad for you, but we need a balance of each (not just all sugar or not just all fat).
The chances of you clogging up your arteries JUST FROM this 30-day diet are slim (however, if you are already at high risk of a heart attack, then you need to be aware of how much fat or sugar you’re consuming.)
It’s called whole30 because it’s supposed to last for only 30 days. You re-introduce foods one at a time and see how they affect your body. You can choose to bring them back into your life or leave them out.
I did try this out, and even though I did not lose weight on the scale, I did lose an inch around my stomach.
Whole30 is not so much as a diet as it’s supposed to make you aware of what you eat and how that affects you. There are other “goals” other than losing weight or slimming down (such as mental health, having more energy, etc…)
The diet does have its flaws and is not for everyone, but it is far from just eating ghee all the time. I ate mostly vegetables and meat when I was on this (with veggies taking up 1/2 to 3/4 of my meals).
The only reason why you think there is so much fat in this “diet” is that you’re able to “see it”-that is, you’re aware that it’s there. Most sugars are hidden in common staple foods, so when you think you’re eating healthy, you’re probably not.
Diets don’t work. I have been vegetarian for over 30 years and cut sugar, dairy, and a lot of other “modern” type foods over the last 15 years based on how I felt (& looked). I’m convinced that we’re all different and need to find OUR own diet for our body. It should be a lifestyle, not a diet you go on or off. I kept taking things in or out until I found what worked. I like good food & still have sweets, bread, etc but rarely and don’t miss them at all. When I do my body responds and reminds of the price. I have now settled on a mostly raw diet. I ran marathons, finished in top 3 of my division in every 1/2 marathon & shorter race. I even ran a personal best 1/2 marathon after a 10 day fast (which I carefully monitored during training.) I don’t think there’s any one diet for everyone. Know your body. Listen to your body. Love your body. It will reward you for that. I’m almost 70 now and take zero medications which always surprises healthcare people. Our bodies and what we put in it are one of the only things we can control. If we don’t take care of it, we don’t have health. If we don’t have health we don’t have freedom.
Please! Do a video on CBD living water! Nano technology? What is all of this?!
What kind of Thanksgiving family get-together doesn’t include multiple salads? Maybe it’s just my large family but we always have tons of options because it’s potluck and everything brings at least two or three foods
From reading these comments, it seems alot of people have no clue that the Whole30 program is just that…a program lol. It’s an ELIMINATION diet where you eat whole foods and that you’re ONLY supposed to do for 30 days. That’s what the 30 stands for lol. Veganism is a lifestyle, Whole30 is a diet ��. That you do for 30 days….not the rest of your life.
I find it odd that diets are negatively restrictive in the sense of, the first thing you are told is “you can’t eat this!”. Is there a diet that lays out “Here’s what you DO eat. Here’s what a few meals look like. Can you live with just eating this?” It’s so much easier to try and look at what you do get to eat rather than focusing on what’s forbidden.
I’ve done whole30! I was actually really great. Lost 30 pounds and I’ve never felt better
Woo love this stuff! I totally am �� agree with you. I’m very flexible with my food (iifym). The 30 day diet of course will work because your foods are so limited and your eating windows are restricted too! Who wouldn’t lose weight with those rules. Hahaha. Thanks for stating this! Lookin shredded too ���� boom!
Hey Dr. Mike, Happy Birthday! (Saying in July 2020). ��. We share nov. 12 bdays mine’s the same date! ��
the cherry picking in this video is absolutely charlatan level. whole 30 was a fantastic way for me to get my health better. vegan food is bloat and gas forever, i’ll stick with lean protein, veggies, and occasional dairy and fruit. My blood work is great now and i feel great.
I’d love it if you colab or have a fellow RD on your channel please!
Thanks
