Yes, lets talk about diets...not that whole existence these days seems to be overly populated by diets. (Let me rephrase if you are looking for a diet to go on it can be overwhelming to weed through all the different ones and then there are those that just don't care and even those people know more than they want to know about certain diet names).
The one that seems to be the most talked about in the fitness world is the Paleo diet aka Caveman diet. Yes go eat like a caveman, its the way we were intended to eat...(its a little more complex then that). Basically think of yourself living 2.5 million years ago and figure out what to eat! To adapt this to our reality it simply means eat a diet full of fish, grass-fed pasture raised meats, vegetables, fruit, fungi, roots and nuts. DO NOT eat grains, legumes, dairy, salt, refined sugar and processed oils. Can seem a little overwhelming right?!?
Thats where Whole30 comes into action. It is a transformation based on the same scientific research as the paleo diet that lasts 30 days. Its goal is, "Whole9’s original program designed to change your life in 30 days. Think of it as a short-term nutritional reset, designed to help you restore a healthy metabolism, heal your digestive tract, calm systemic inflammation and put an end to unhealthy cravings, habits, and relationships with food. Since 2009, thousands of people have used our program as a jump-start to changing the way they eat for the rest of their lives."

Simply speaking all you have to do is stick to whole foods. Shop in the fresh produce isle and the butcher shop!
There is a huge following recently with Whole30 and free information on their website.
My favorite thing is that they have available a shopping list...pretty fool proof if you ask me!
The likeness of the Whole30 is that they aren't shoving down your throat that this is the way you should eat for the rest of your life. There is understanding that you will want to have some SAD cheats, but following it for at least 30 days is a guarantee that your life will change...for the better!
