30-Day Whole Foods Cookbook and Meal Plan: Eliminate Processed Foods and Revitalize Your Health

Using this plan as a guideline for eating a whole food diet for January. So far I’m loving the recipes, and they are super healthy. One thing to note: this isn’t a Whole 30 plan not does it claim to be. The reviews that are complaining that this isn’t “compliant” aren’t really fair because it’s not a Whole 30 book. The focus is on unprocessed, dairy and gluten free, mostly vegan foods.

I want to love this recipe book and meal plan. I purchased this with the assumption that 30-Day Whole Foods would be Whole 30 compliant... it is not. The recipes incorporate several non compliant ingredients including several grains and processed foods. I was very disheartened to discover this upon opening the book and saw that oats, quinoa, olive oil, honey and maple syrup were some of several "must have" items and in many recipes. Though the recipes are healthy and look to be great, it was NOT the Whole 30 cookbook I had hoped for. Such a waste :-(

I love this book with the shopping lists, meal plans, and amazing recipes. I'm so sad to see reviewers complain that it is not whole 30 compliant because it never claimed to be. I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to speak up that this book is amazing for someone who wants to eat delicious unprocessed, fresh food and feel amazing.

Wonderful ingredient ideas! Will use them!But why are the ingredients in small light green ink? Can barely read them - tempted to use a magnifying glass.

I've known Lori for gosh, almost 15 years now, so of course I was going to buy her cookbook she announced she was releasing one. I just started using the recipes this month and I have honestly LOVED every one I have made so far. I've had most of the staples on hand, and shop for the fresh items weekly. Recipes are simple, full of awesome ingredients, and delicious. I am excited to show all of them off to family and friends. Lori loves cooking and I must say, I was a bit nervous that her cookbook would be full of rare or hard to find ingredients, as I remember some of her food being like that. This is not so for this book. Totally doable! She is a legit dietitian who has a passion for her work and it shows.

This book is amazing! It literally plans everything for you so no more trying to figure out what to eat. It makes the transition to a plant based diet easy and tasty, and doesn’t require strange pantry ingredients. I live in a small town and between our Walmart and local grocery store I can find everything I need. I love the prep ahead section and shopping lists. The recipes are very easy to make and always taste delicious! This is a big deal because I’ve seen lots of other plant based books and recipes where the ingredient list is long and the instructions complicated. This book offers simple recipes, easy and short instructions, and often times the prep/cook time is fairly short. This book focuses on a Whole Foods way of eating, not a Whole30 meal plan. My husband and I have been on this for 4 weeks and we feel amazing. Noticed a difference in our energy, focus, and digestion in the first week!

What I love best about this book was the new interesting ingredients. I went through the pantry and refrigerated suggestions which led me to make my nut butter, breads and easy nutritious high energy meals to fuel my training. I’m excited to get on my indoor trainer or outside bike knowing I will be well equipped to accomplish what I need to for the day.

This book was not whole 30 compliant at all! I was very excited about the meal planning for the weeks as starting this new diet is very stressful and I was not sure where to start... after all my research though I was very surprised to turn to the can eat cant eat page and find that everything listed on the "can eat" side was extremely wrong. Extremely disappointed.
