One of the most common things I hear from people who do the Whole30, there's so much support that needs to go into doing the program, finishing the program, transitioning into your food freedom, living your food freedom.

A lot of people come to the program with practical questions. "So if I can't eat my cereal for breakfast, what am I gonna eat?" Or, "My coworkers invited me to happy hour. How do I handle happy hour?" So a lot of it's practical. But people are also struggling with their emotional relationship with food and how to talk to family and friends about their new health pursuits and about the Whole30 program.

And so the questions run much deeper than just food, and we try to provide support around so many different areas: helping people change their habits, helping people address their emotional relationship with food, helping them find other ways to self-love or cope or self-soothe or show love to someone else. So, you know, I almost wish that I was a psychologist instead of a sports nutritionist, because I think there's so much psychology and so much kind of emotional support that you need to provide during something like the Whole30, which can be really hard.

I participate in a lot of online communities- forums, social media pages- and I have to say that the Whole30 community is the most positive and welcoming and engaged community I've ever had the privilege of being a part of. We live on Instagram, we're on Facebook, we're tweeting, we're on the free Whole30 forum, connecting with other Whole30ers.

Maybe you're doing the Whole30 by yourself, you're not doing it with friends and family, or as part of a gym or a church group. Or you've done the Whole30, but you want to stay connected to your growth mindset and your healthy habits. You need accountability. You need someone to answer, "Can I have kombucha?" Like, in the moment. You don't have time to wait to get home to consult your Whole30 book.

So, finding that social support online can be incredibly helpful to help you stay connected to the process, and can even make the difference between sticking out your commitment and caving in to the pressure of a bad day or an emotional moment.

Stay connected to the process. The "Whole30 Day By Day" book is exactly designed to do that, to help you stay connected every single day of your Whole30. How are you feeling? What are you seeing? What are some of the challenges you're facing? What went well today? What could you do differently tomorrow to make tomorrow a better day? How do you compare your energy today to your energy 10 days ago? Look at all the progress that you're making. The more closely connected that you stay, the better a chance you have of making those new healthy habits stick because in life after the 30 days, where you no longer have the rules to kind of fall back on, that's what you need the most to continue changing your language around food and your body, where food is no longer "good" or "bad." There's no morality attached to it. Changing your diet mentality- that the Whole30 isn't a "diet." It's not deprivation, it's not restriction, it's not about weight loss.

It profoundly transforms who you are and how you think about food and how you think about your body and your emotional relationship with food to the degree that if you stay connected to the process and you stay connected to your growth mindset and you admit when your habits are starting to slip and you come back to the Whole30 as a reset if you need it, you can literally continue building on for the rest of your life.
