Kelli explained that people doing Whole30 need to be aware that it is only for 30 days. Living with such a restricted diet forever isn't recommended, and Kelli said "I would be sure to discuss how to transition from Whole30 to a healthy, sustainable lifestyle."
After the 30 days is up, Jessica said that people begin to gradually reintroduce foods and watch for symptoms. You may find that eating processed bread makes you feel bloated, but you're OK with oatmeal. You may discover that you're lactose intolerant or that eating sugar makes you break out.
Obviously, you want to avoid the foods that don't make you feel good, but that doesn't mean you need to keep all the Whole30 off-limit foods off your plate just because. While Whole30 recommends you ditch grains, if you didn't notice any health benefits from doing so, after the 30 days are up it's OK to eat birthday cake! The same goes for a glass of wine, a slice of pizza, and an ice cream cone. After all, are you going to live without these foods forever?
