Day One of the Whole 30 Diet

I was recently telling my husband about a client I saw who had just completed the “Whole 30” diet. He was intrigued. Did they lose weight? What did they have to do? Were they hungry ALL THE TIME?? I explained to him the general rules: no dairy, no added sugar, no grains, no legumes, no alcohol, nothing processed, etc. (for…
