Elimination Diet Protocol (Whole30-Style)

What is Elimination Diet Protocol (Whole30-Style)?

A systematic 30-day food elimination and reintroduction protocol designed to identify personal food sensitivities and inflammatory triggers. You remove the most common reactive food groups (gluten, dairy, soy, corn, sugar, alcohol, legumes, and processed foods) for 30 days, allowing your gut and immune system to calm down. Then you reintroduce each food group one at a time over 10+ days, carefully observing your body's response to identify which foods cause issues for you specifically.

How do you do Elimination Diet Protocol (Whole30-Style)?

1. 1.For 30 days, completely eliminate: gluten, dairy, soy, corn, added sugar, alcohol, legumes, and all processed foods
2. 2.Eat whole foods only: meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, nuts (except peanuts), seeds, and healthy fats
3. 3.Keep a daily symptom journal tracking energy, digestion, skin, mood, sleep, and joint pain on a 1-10 scale
4. 4.After 30 days, reintroduce ONE eliminated food group every 3 days — eat it at 2-3 meals, then wait 72 hours and record any symptoms
5. 5.Build your personalized diet: foods that caused no symptoms are safe to keep; foods that triggered reactions should be eliminated long-term or minimized

How long does it take?

30-day elimination + 2-3 weeks reintroduction; adds 30-60 min/day for food prep.
