Simply put, the Whole30 program changed my life. Suffice to say, I battled food for my entire adolescence and early adulthood. In the battle of me vs. scale, food was the ultimate enemy. A few years ago I was introduced to Paleo and though I did a decent job implementing it, I still couldn't commit 100% until I found the Whole9 and did my first Whole30. So yes, I'm one of those people who has had physical ailments clear up and who finally has a sane relationship with food and my body. What's awesome about It Starts with Food is that it combines the Whole30 together with other concepts-new and old-from Melissa and Dallas's blog/seminar and caps it off with some great recipes (because in the end...it's really about the food, isn't it?!).
