For 30 days this month we’re exploring Whole30, the 30-day reset and refocus on whole foods. Whole30 isn’t a diet or a judgment of foods as “good and bad.” It’s actually a short-term reset that has helped many of our readers cook more and figure out the foods that make them feel their best.

Over the past three-and-a-half years, I have completed seven rounds of the Whole30 program. The Whole30 was created by Melissa and Dallas Hartwig, and it has exploded in popularity recently. Most of us would be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t done Whole30 or hasn’t thought about doing Whole30. The program has plenty of supporters boasting life-changing results, and I can say that I am one of the people who has experienced these tremendous results.

Even though Whole30 explicitly states that it is not a weight-loss plan, I fully admit that I wanted to lose weight, and to my own surprise (and disbelief), I’ve ended up losing more than 60 pounds since I did my first round of the program.

The only thing that has surprised me more than losing that much weight is that the weight loss isn’t even the biggest reason I keep coming back to Whole30 over and over again.
