A new year often feels like a fresh start—a chance to set goals and take steps toward better health and wellness. But with so many weight loss options, it can feel overwhelming to figure out which one is right for you. One program that gains attention this time of year is Whole30.
What Is Whole30?
Whole30 is all about hitting the reset button on your relationship with food. It’s designed to help you identify potential food sensitivities while encouraging a diet centered on whole, unprocessed foods. Think of it as a way to understand how specific foods impact your physical and emotional well-being.
Here’s how it works:
- You eliminate common “problem” foods and beverages, such as sugar, grains, dairy, and alcohol, for 30 days.
- After that, you gradually reintroduce food groups to see how they impact your energy, digestion, mood, or even your skin.
Many people report feeling more energized, sleeping better, having better digestion, and experiencing fewer cravings during Whole30.
The Challenges of Whole30
While Whole30 can be transformative for some, it’s also known for being restrictive, especially when life gets busy or social events come into play, making it hard to sustain long-term. It’s not specifically designed for weight loss or building sustainable habits, which can leave you wondering, what happens after the 30 days are up?
Why RM3® Is a Better Fit
Red Mountain Weight Loss®’ RM3® program offers some of the same benefits as Whole30—like cutting out sugar, alcohol, and processed foods—but takes things a step further by providing structure, medical support, and a clear focus on sustainable weight loss.
