KEEP YOUR PANTS ON:

SWYPO, the acronym for the phrase “sex with your pants on,”

was coined by Whole30 co-founder Melissa Hartwig Urban to

describe making treats with compliant ingredients. Hartwig Urban

discourages this as it doesn’t change your emotional reliance on

these types of “treat” foods. For that reason, we opted to skip the

sweet treat in this issue in favor of a no-alcohol, fruity sipper.
