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.
