The Whole30 is an established EXCLUSION diet to help people figure out what, if any, food types are causing them an issue.
It isn't a way of life, nor is it sold like that
It's been used by doctors who specialize in food intolerance for over 30 years.
It just happens that some super smart people decided to package it and use it for financial gain as a short-term plan. That is why every Whole30 includes a reintroduction process. Thet do not recommend you stay like that.
Btw, I didn't bother to point how wrong you were on gluten. You're correct with weight loss, wrong with everything else - people are not either celiac or ok, there are dozens of increments. Food intolerances by and large build up, we're rarely born with them
I've spent hundreds of hours looking into this and doing real research Les. I thought it was BS to begin with so went in with your mindset - somewhat.
I've spent scores of hours interviewing people including medical practitioners. I've been writing on it for 8-years.
Only recently I spoke with an oncologist who is now introducing the paleo approach for people on chemotherapy because it's been proven to reduce side effects in some patients.
No doubt you know more about it than somebody dealing with colo-rectal cancer and has *reluctantly* started to admit he may have got it wrong.
Science changes slowly. It's how it is.
Like you, scientists hate to be wrong and as such seek out evidence to support their beliefs rather than challenge them.
I set out to find proof AGAINST the Paleo system and guess what? I couldn't find any. that wasn't based purely in conventional thinking.
There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
