The 6 Whole30 Diet Guidelines
- No Sugar. No maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, coconut sugar, date syrup, stevia, Splenda, Equal, Nutrasweet, xylitol, etc.

This also includes all forms of soy – soy sauce, miso, tofu, tempeh, edamame, and all the ways we sneak soy into foods (like lecithin).
- No dairy.
- No carrageenan, MSG or sulfites.
- No baked goods.
Focus On Fruits, Veggies, Clean Meats & Buy Organic
