Seren Knox had not anticipated such a rollercoaster when she decided to try Whole30. She laughs, thinking of it as this ultra-restrictive nightmare.

The rules—no grains, no dairy, no sugar, no legumes—overwhelmed Seren, like many novices. She concentrated on real, whole foods—things she could actually identify and pronounce, instead of worrying about what she couldn eat.
She says, “I started with meals I already loved and just made them cleaner.” Her main foods soon were roasted chicken and sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs with spinach, and stir-fries using cauliflower rice. Her food tasted better, she discovered, the less ingredients she used.
The habit presented more difficulty than the cuisine. She says she had to learn to grab convenience snacks or pour a sugary creamer into her coffee instead of reflex. But the cravings subsided and her energy raised daily.
Seren felt clear-headed, less swollen, and more in tune with her hunger by the end of her first Whole30. She advises paying attention rather than striving perfection.
The programme was not for her a diet. She lacked knowledge of the reset button she required.
