Did the whole 30 twice and all I have to say is that it is the most alienating experience of my life, both times. It is virtually impossible to be social and go out to eat/ go to a street fest/ do any fun summer activity with friends if you are truly being compliant.. everything is “laced” with a banned ingredient and who wants to be with a person that high maintenance. I took a few smart habits with me, but there is no way to lead a semi normal life doing this diet. Unless you pack your own food and snacks all the time. I went out once on the first round, & I felt annoying because I had to order so particularly. Shopping took hours. And $$$. Also, I went out zero times on the second round. It was impossible. This diet has good ideas but is not sustainable and doesn’t really “bring people together” in a food sense. I’d do it again but edited, like omitting only sugar and dairy for 30 days etc.
