Paleo vs. Whole30 Diet<\/strong><\/h2>\nChronic inflammation can damage certain types of cells throughout the body. This can ultimately lead to skin disorders, respiratory issues,\u00a0 type 2 diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disease<\/a>,\u00a0 and a host of other illnesses.<\/p>\nBoth the paleo and Whole30 diets can result in improved health outcomes. But they both have different approaches. The ideal diet for you will depend on your health goals and personal preference.<\/p>\n
Purpose of the paleo diet<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe paleo diet consists of foods similar to what our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate during the Paleolithic Era.<\/p>\n
The premise is that our bodies have not adapted to our \u201cmodern diets\u201d. Farming was introduced around 10,000 years ago. Grains, legumes and dairy products became readily available as a result. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s believed that our genes were not wired to process these \u201cnew\u201d foods. These foods are believed to cause inflammation. Chronic conditions can result.<\/p>\n
The paleo diet helps improve health outcomes by eating foods our bodies are wired to eat.<\/p>\n
Purpose of Whole30 diet <\/strong><\/h2>\nThe purpose of the Whole30 diet is to identify foods you\u2019re intolerant to. Food intolerance can trigger or exacerbate many chronic conditions. <\/p>\n
The paleo diet eliminates all potentially inflammatory foods. Forever. <\/p>\n
The Whole30 diet eliminates potentially inflammatory foods for 30 days. Once the 30 days are complete, foods are reintroduced. This phase lasts 10 days. <\/p>\n
Only foods that cause a reaction on the Whole30 diet are eliminated for good. <\/p>\n
Foods you can eat on the paleo and Whole30 diets<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"paleo](\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\")
Paleo and Whole30 foods allowed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAllowed foods on both diets are similar, however, Whole30 is more restrictive. The following foods can be consumed on each diet.<\/p>\n
Lean Meats and Grass-Fed Meats<\/strong><\/h3>\nMeats should preferably be grass-fed, free-range, and organic. These meats provide a higher quality of protein and omega-3<\/a>\u00a0 than regular meats. The high omega-3 helps to reduce inflammation. But if grass-fed, free-range and organic aren\u2019t available or within your budget, don\u2019t let that stop you. What matters is the meat is unprocessed.\u00a0<\/p>\nWild-Caught Fish <\/strong><\/h3>\nThese include fish, shellfish and other types of seafood that were harvested directly from natural bodies of water including seas, oceans, and rivers. Halibut, cod, sockeye salmon, and mackerel, are a few examples of wild-caught fish. Wild-caught is preferred over farm-raised, however let your personal preference guide your selection.<\/p>\n
Healthy Fats <\/strong><\/h3>\nHealthy fats come from certain oils as well as avocados, nuts, seeds and some fish. Here are some examples.<\/p>\n
\n- Olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil are considered healthy fats.\u00a0<\/li>\n
- Salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel are high in omega-3 fatty acids.\u00a0<\/li>\n
- Flax seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds are also healthy fats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Vegetables<\/strong><\/h3>\nMost vegetables are acceptable on both the paleo and Whole30 diets, including green leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables like cabbage and brussel sprouts, starchy vegetables, and root vegetables. However, certain vegetables should be avoided, and they\u2019re mentioned below. <\/p>\n
Fruits<\/strong><\/h3>\nMost fruits are allowed on both diets. This includes berries, pits (peaches, plums), cores (apples, pears), citrus fruits, melons and tropical fruit (mangos, papaya). Some stricter paleo eaters will avoid or limit their consumption of fruits containing high amounts of sugar. These sweeter fruits can cause spikes in blood sugar and increased insulin production which can lead to insulin resistance. <\/p>\n
Seeds and Nuts<\/strong><\/h3>\nAll tree nuts, nut milk, and nut butters are acceptable on both diets. Peanuts, however, are considered legumes and should be avoided. More on restrictions later. <\/p>\n
Other<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn addition to the above, the following may be consumed in moderation on the paleo diet:<\/p>\n
\n- Dark chocolate, providing it doesn\u2019t have added sugar or milk.<\/li>\n
- Wine<\/li>\n
- Natural sugars like raw honey, maple syrup, and blackstrap molasses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\nFoods to avoid on the paleo diet and Whole30 diet<\/strong><\/h2>\nPaleo and Whole30 foods to avoid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe following foods should be avoided on both diets.<\/p>\n
Grains<\/strong><\/h3>\nThese foods tend to have a high glycemic index and are difficult for some people to digest. <\/p>\n
Legumes<\/strong><\/h3>\nThese foods contain anti-nutrients which prevent the absorption of nutrients in other foods. <\/p>\n
Dairy<\/strong><\/h3>\nMany people are unable to digest milk. In addition, conventional dairy products often contain hormones and antibiotics.<\/p>\n
Refined Sugar <\/strong><\/h3>\nRefined sugar causes spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels. Artificial sugar can throw gut bacteria out of balance. This can result in digestive problems as well as metabolic disturbances like insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and hormonal imbalance.<\/p>\n
Processed Foods<\/strong><\/h3>\nThese foods lack nutrients and tend to be higher in calories. Some people even experience allergic reactions to the artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives in these foods. Processed foods include lunch meats, frozen food, ready made breakfast cereals, and canned fruits, vegetables and meats. Meat products like sausage, bacon, and salami are also processed. <\/p>\n
Vegetable Oils<\/strong><\/h3>\nThese oils tend to be higher in Omega-6 fatty acids, which makes them more likely to trigger inflammation. In addition, it\u2019s not uncommon for partially hydrogenated oil to contain trans-fats, which are the worst fats. <\/p>\n
Other<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn addition to the above, the following foods should be avoided on the Whole30 diet.<\/p>\n
\n- ALL Alcohol<\/li>\n
- ALL added sugars, including natural sugars like raw honey, maple syrup, and blackstrap molasses\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What are the pros of the paleo diet<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe paleo diet is rich in nutrient dense foods that promote healing and overall health. Because processed foods are minimized or eliminated, the risks associated with these foods are also reduced. The paleo diet works well for reducing inflammation.<\/p>\n
Blood sugar is stabilized with the elimination of refined sugars and carbohydrates. Stable blood sugar means no spikes and crashes that drain you of energy. Many have experienced improvements in mental clarity as a result.<\/p>\n
Another benefit is weight loss, since the paleo diet is so restrictive. And there\u2019s no calorie counting involved. Also, nutrient dense foods cause you to feel fuller faster so they support weight maintenance. <\/p>\n
The increased fiber<\/a> from fruits and vegetables helps improve digestive health<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhat are the pros of the Whole30 diet<\/strong><\/h2>\nLike the paleo diet, the Whole30 diet is rich in nutrients and helps stabilize blood sugar. It also results in weight loss and improved digestive health. An added benefit of the Whole30 diet is it helps to identify food intolerances.<\/p>\n
The Whole30 diet is also said to reset your taste buds, so sugar and salt cravings diminish.<\/p>\n
What are the cons of the paleo diet<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe paleo diet is a restrictive diet and may be difficult to sustain for the long term. The elimination of grains, legumes, and dairy can result in deficiencies in calcium, vitamin D, B complex vitamins, magnesium and iron. <\/p>\n
Reduced carbohydrates can also lead to a lack of energy.<\/p>\n
Another disadvantage is that constipation can occur because of the elimination of grains and legumes.<\/p>\n
Health isn\u2019t the only concern. A restrictive diet can impact your social life. It may be difficult finding foods you can enjoy while eating out. <\/p>\n
Still another con of the paleo diet is the cost. Organic, grass-fed, and wild caught foods can be pricey. Also, these items may not be available where you shop.<\/p>\n
Weight loss may not be a desired outcome for some. <\/p>\n
The good news is the paleo diet doesn\u2019t have to be all or nothing. You can customize it to suit your needs and preferences. <\/p>\n
Years ago I was searching for an anti-inflammatory diet. I opted out of the paleo diet because it seemed too restrictive. Having multiple food allergies<\/a> and sensitivities, the last thing I needed was a restrictive diet.<\/p>\nBut apparently there are different variations of the paleo diet<\/a>. Some people use the paleo diet as a model to base your diet off of, rather than a rigid set of rules.<\/p>\nWhat are the cons of the Whole30 diet<\/strong><\/h2>\nLike the paleo diet, the Whole30 diet is highly restrictive, albeit for 30 days. Still there\u2019s a chance of nutritional imbalance as entire food groups are removed. Low energy, constipation, and cost are also cons.<\/p>\n
Another con is the potential for rebound weight-gain when restricted foods are added back in. <\/p>\n
Is paleo gluten-free<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe paleo diet restricts all grains, so it is gluten free. Care should be taken to check labels on foods and seasonings.i<\/p>\n
Is Whole30 gluten-free<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Whole30 diet is gluten-free during the 30 day elimination period. However, it can be added back in during the 10 day reintroduction period to see if it is tolerated.<\/p>\n
Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn a comparison of the paleo vs. Whole30 diet, both emphasize unprocessed, nutrient dense foods. Both diets allow lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Likewise, both diets exclude grains, dairy and legumes. The Whole30 diet is an elimination diet. It has more restrictions, but only during the first 30 days. The paleo diet is more of a lifestyle diet that lasts indefinitely. Each has the potential for reduced inflammation and improved health outcomes. Consult with your healthcare provider to determine the diet that best suits your needs.<\/p>\n

Other<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn addition to the above, the following foods should be avoided on the Whole30 diet.<\/p>\n
\n- ALL Alcohol<\/li>\n

Blood sugar is stabilized with the elimination of refined sugars and carbohydrates. Stable blood sugar means no spikes and crashes that drain you of energy. Many have experienced improvements in mental clarity as a result.<\/p>\n
Another benefit is weight loss, since the paleo diet is so restrictive. And there\u2019s no calorie counting involved. Also, nutrient dense foods cause you to feel fuller faster so they support weight maintenance. <\/p>\n
The increased fiber<\/a> from fruits and vegetables helps improve digestive health<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhat are the pros of the Whole30 diet<\/strong><\/h2>\nLike the paleo diet, the Whole30 diet is rich in nutrients and helps stabilize blood sugar. It also results in weight loss and improved digestive health. An added benefit of the Whole30 diet is it helps to identify food intolerances.<\/p>\n
The Whole30 diet is also said to reset your taste buds, so sugar and salt cravings diminish.<\/p>\n
What are the cons of the paleo diet<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe paleo diet is a restrictive diet and may be difficult to sustain for the long term. The elimination of grains, legumes, and dairy can result in deficiencies in calcium, vitamin D, B complex vitamins, magnesium and iron. <\/p>\n
Reduced carbohydrates can also lead to a lack of energy.<\/p>\n
Another disadvantage is that constipation can occur because of the elimination of grains and legumes.<\/p>\n
Health isn\u2019t the only concern. A restrictive diet can impact your social life. It may be difficult finding foods you can enjoy while eating out. <\/p>\n
Still another con of the paleo diet is the cost. Organic, grass-fed, and wild caught foods can be pricey. Also, these items may not be available where you shop.<\/p>\n
Weight loss may not be a desired outcome for some. <\/p>\n
The good news is the paleo diet doesn\u2019t have to be all or nothing. You can customize it to suit your needs and preferences. <\/p>\n
Years ago I was searching for an anti-inflammatory diet. I opted out of the paleo diet because it seemed too restrictive. Having multiple food allergies<\/a> and sensitivities, the last thing I needed was a restrictive diet.<\/p>\nBut apparently there are different variations of the paleo diet<\/a>.

Another con is the potential for rebound weight-gain when restricted foods are added back in. <\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn a comparison of the paleo vs. Whole30 diet, both emphasize unprocessed, nutrient dense foods. Both diets allow lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.

Allowed foods on both diets are similar, however, Whole30 is more restrictive. The following foods can be consumed on each diet.<\/p>\n
Lean Meats and Grass-Fed Meats<\/strong><\/h3>\nMeats should preferably be grass-fed, free-range, and organic. These meats provide a higher quality of protein and omega-3<\/a>\u00a0 than regular meats. The high omega-3 helps to reduce inflammation. But if grass-fed, free-range and organic aren\u2019t available or within your budget, don\u2019t let that stop you. What matters is the meat is unprocessed.\u00a0<\/p>\nWild-Caught Fish <\/strong><\/h3>\nThese include fish, shellfish and other types of seafood that were harvested directly from natural bodies of water including seas, oceans, and rivers. Halibut, cod, sockeye salmon, and mackerel, are a few examples of wild-caught fish. Wild-caught is preferred over farm-raised, however let your personal preference guide your selection.<\/p>\n
Healthy Fats <\/strong><\/h3>\nHealthy fats come from certain oils as well as avocados, nuts, seeds and some fish. Here are some examples.<\/p>\n
\n- Olive oil, coconut oil and avocado oil are considered healthy fats.\u00a0<\/li>\n
- Salmon, tuna, sardines and mackerel are high in omega-3 fatty acids.\u00a0<\/li>\n
- Flax seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds are also healthy fats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Vegetables<\/strong><\/h3>\nMost vegetables are acceptable on both the paleo and Whole30 diets, including green leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables like cabbage and brussel sprouts, starchy vegetables, and root vegetables. However, certain vegetables should be avoided, and they\u2019re mentioned below. <\/p>\n
Fruits<\/strong><\/h3>\nMost fruits are allowed on both diets. This includes berries, pits (peaches, plums), cores (apples, pears), citrus fruits, melons and tropical fruit (mangos, papaya). Some stricter paleo eaters will avoid or limit their consumption of fruits containing high amounts of sugar. These sweeter fruits can cause spikes in blood sugar and increased insulin production which can lead to insulin resistance. <\/p>\n
Seeds and Nuts<\/strong><\/h3>\nAll tree nuts, nut milk, and nut butters are acceptable on both diets. Peanuts, however, are considered legumes and should be avoided. More on restrictions later. <\/p>\n
Other<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn addition to the above, the following may be consumed in moderation on the paleo diet:<\/p>\n
\n- Dark chocolate, providing it doesn\u2019t have added sugar or milk.<\/li>\n
- Wine<\/li>\n
- Natural sugars like raw honey, maple syrup, and blackstrap molasses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\nFoods to avoid on the paleo diet and Whole30 diet<\/strong><\/h2>\nPaleo and Whole30 foods to avoid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe following foods should be avoided on both diets.<\/p>\n
Grains<\/strong><\/h3>\nThese foods tend to have a high glycemic index and are difficult for some people to digest. <\/p>\n
Legumes<\/strong><\/h3>\nThese foods contain anti-nutrients which prevent the absorption of nutrients in other foods. <\/p>\n
Dairy<\/strong><\/h3>\nMany people are unable to digest milk. In addition, conventional dairy products often contain hormones and antibiotics.<\/p>\n
Refined Sugar <\/strong><\/h3>\nRefined sugar causes spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels. Artificial sugar can throw gut bacteria out of balance. This can result in digestive problems as well as metabolic disturbances like insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and hormonal imbalance.<\/p>\n
Processed Foods<\/strong><\/h3>\nThese foods lack nutrients and tend to be higher in calories. Some people even experience allergic reactions to the artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives in these foods. Processed foods include lunch meats, frozen food, ready made breakfast cereals, and canned fruits, vegetables and meats. Meat products like sausage, bacon, and salami are also processed. <\/p>\n

These foods tend to have a high glycemic index and are difficult for some people to digest. <\/p>\n
Legumes<\/strong><\/h3>\n
These foods contain anti-nutrients which prevent the absorption of nutrients in other foods. <\/p>\n
Dairy<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Many people are unable to digest milk. In addition, conventional dairy products often contain hormones and antibiotics.<\/p>\n
Refined Sugar <\/strong><\/h3>\n
Refined sugar causes spikes in blood sugar and insulin levels. Artificial sugar can throw gut bacteria out of balance. This can result in digestive problems as well as metabolic disturbances like insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and hormonal imbalance.<\/p>\n
Processed Foods<\/strong><\/h3>\n
These foods lack nutrients and tend to be higher in calories. Some people even experience allergic reactions to the artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives in these foods. Processed foods include lunch meats, frozen food, ready made breakfast cereals, and canned fruits, vegetables and meats. Meat products like sausage, bacon, and salami are also processed. <\/p>\n
Vegetable Oils<\/strong><\/h3>\n
These oils tend to be higher in Omega-6 fatty acids, which makes them more likely to trigger inflammation. In addition, it\u2019s not uncommon for partially hydrogenated oil to contain trans-fats, which are the worst fats. <\/p>\n
Other<\/strong><\/h3>\n
In addition to the above, the following foods should be avoided on the Whole30 diet.<\/p>\n
- \n
- ALL Alcohol<\/li>\n
- ALL added sugars, including natural sugars like raw honey, maple syrup, and blackstrap molasses\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What are the pros of the paleo diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The paleo diet is rich in nutrient dense foods that promote healing and overall health. Because processed foods are minimized or eliminated, the risks associated with these foods are also reduced. The paleo diet works well for reducing inflammation.<\/p>\n
Blood sugar is stabilized with the elimination of refined sugars and carbohydrates. Stable blood sugar means no spikes and crashes that drain you of energy. Many have experienced improvements in mental clarity as a result.<\/p>\n
Another benefit is weight loss, since the paleo diet is so restrictive. And there\u2019s no calorie counting involved. Also, nutrient dense foods cause you to feel fuller faster so they support weight maintenance. <\/p>\n
The increased fiber<\/a> from fruits and vegetables helps improve digestive health<\/a>.<\/p>\n
What are the pros of the Whole30 diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Like the paleo diet, the Whole30 diet is rich in nutrients and helps stabilize blood sugar. It also results in weight loss and improved digestive health. An added benefit of the Whole30 diet is it helps to identify food intolerances.<\/p>\n
The Whole30 diet is also said to reset your taste buds, so sugar and salt cravings diminish.<\/p>\n
What are the cons of the paleo diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The paleo diet is a restrictive diet and may be difficult to sustain for the long term. The elimination of grains, legumes, and dairy can result in deficiencies in calcium, vitamin D, B complex vitamins, magnesium and iron. <\/p>\n
Reduced carbohydrates can also lead to a lack of energy.<\/p>\n
Another disadvantage is that constipation can occur because of the elimination of grains and legumes.<\/p>\n
Health isn\u2019t the only concern. A restrictive diet can impact your social life. It may be difficult finding foods you can enjoy while eating out. <\/p>\n
Still another con of the paleo diet is the cost. Organic, grass-fed, and wild caught foods can be pricey. Also, these items may not be available where you shop.<\/p>\n
Weight loss may not be a desired outcome for some. <\/p>\n
The good news is the paleo diet doesn\u2019t have to be all or nothing. You can customize it to suit your needs and preferences. <\/p>\n
Years ago I was searching for an anti-inflammatory diet. I opted out of the paleo diet because it seemed too restrictive. Having multiple food allergies<\/a> and sensitivities, the last thing I needed was a restrictive diet.<\/p>\n
But apparently there are different variations of the paleo diet<\/a>. Some people use the paleo diet as a model to base your diet off of, rather than a rigid set of rules.<\/p>\n
What are the cons of the Whole30 diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Like the paleo diet, the Whole30 diet is highly restrictive, albeit for 30 days. Still there\u2019s a chance of nutritional imbalance as entire food groups are removed. Low energy, constipation, and cost are also cons.<\/p>\n
Another con is the potential for rebound weight-gain when restricted foods are added back in. <\/p>\n
Is paleo gluten-free<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The paleo diet restricts all grains, so it is gluten free. Care should be taken to check labels on foods and seasonings.i<\/p>\n
Is Whole30 gluten-free<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Whole30 diet is gluten-free during the 30 day elimination period. However, it can be added back in during the 10 day reintroduction period to see if it is tolerated.<\/p>\n
Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n
In a comparison of the paleo vs. Whole30 diet, both emphasize unprocessed, nutrient dense foods. Both diets allow lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Likewise, both diets exclude grains, dairy and legumes. The Whole30 diet is an elimination diet. It has more restrictions, but only during the first 30 days. The paleo diet is more of a lifestyle diet that lasts indefinitely. Each has the potential for reduced inflammation and improved health outcomes. Consult with your healthcare provider to determine the diet that best suits your needs.<\/p>\n
