But wait, you’re thinking, “This science
isn’t bomb-proof! Maybe I’m sensitive to the
compounds found in grains and maybe I’m
not.”
You’re absolutely right. And we can’t
answer that question for you.
But neither can you, until you’ve done our
Whole30 program.
Remember, we can’t rely solely on science
to guide our recommendations, because in
some cases (like the effect of proteins in non-
gluten grains) data simply isn’t available. But
based on the research that is available,
combined with the vast body of evidence
we’ve gathered from our clients, we advise
you to put the kibosh on grains, because: (a)
they can be easy to overconsume and promote
hormonal dysfunction, (b) they’re not a good
source of nutrition compared with vegetables
and fruits, and (c) proteins found in all grains
