Whole30 Diet Guide: Foods To Avoid

Legumes

The majority of legumes are not allowed on the Whole30 diet. Thus, individuals cannot eat beans, peanuts, tofu, soy, miso, and tempeh! The reason for this is that they contain compounds of additives that increase inflammation. This may result in leaky gut syndrome! Additionally, legumes contain protease inhibitors, which can trigger an allergic reaction in some individuals. They also contribute to chronic inflammation! Sometimes legumes contain phytoestrogens, which may result in the body making too much estrogen! When this happens, individuals could have a hormonal imbalance in their body. This is not healthy! Furthermore, the carbohydrates in legumes can result in stalled weight loss.

The great news is that the Whole30 diet eliminates the legumes that can cause these results! Although eliminating legumes may be hard, cooking at home makes it much easier for individuals to handle. They can also feel relieved, since green beans and peas are allowed on the Whole30 diet. Thus, they can eat sugar snap peas, split peas, green beans, snow peas, and green peas!
