About this listen

It Starts With Food outlines a clear, balanced, sustainable plan to change the way you eat forever-and transform your life in profound and unexpected ways. Your success story begins with the Whole30®, Dallas and Melissa Hartwig's powerful 30-day nutritional reset.

Since 2009, their underground Whole30 program has quietly led tens of thousands of people to weight loss, enhanced quality of life, and a healthier relationship with food-accompanied by stunning improvements in sleep, energy levels, mood, and self-esteem. More significant, many people have reported the "magical" elimination of a variety of symptoms, diseases, and conditions in just 30 days.

Now, Dallas and Melissa detail not just the "how" of the Whole30, but also the "why," summarizing the science in a simple, accessible manner. It Starts With Food reveals how specific foods may be having negative effects on how you look, feel, and live-in ways that you'd never associate with your diet. More important, they outline their lifelong strategy for eating Good Food in one clear and detailed action plan designed to help you create a healthy metabolism, heal your digestive tract, calm systemic inflammation, and put an end to unhealthy cravings, habits, and relationships with food.

Infused with the Hartwigs' signature wit, tough love, and common sense, It Starts With Food is based on the latest scientific research and real-life experience, and includes testimonials, a detailed shopping guide, a meal-planning template, a Meal Map with creative, delicious recipes, and much more.

If you need that extra oomph to push you to do Whole30 then this is a great read. Short and to the point, it certainly inspired me to begin and stick to my Whole30 journey. I highly recommend this book for Whole30 beginners.

This book completely changed my life. I have a better relationship with food and would highly recommend it for anyone who has struggled with weight or health conditions.

Life changing!

I was looking for a general nutrition book but was disappointed when terms such as 'leaky gut' and 'free radicals' appeared throughout - all debunked pseudoscience. This disappointment was made worse by the poor scientific explanations from the authors. Upon further investigation, I found they have had no formal training in nutrition. It is unfortunate how easily fear mongering can influence misinformation. Forget about the psychological effects of food, stay away from the psychological effects of this book.

Pseudoscience at its finest

I can’t listen to it! The automated/computerised accented voice is so annoying and out of sync with my expectations. The content seems interesting but the voiceover (often with the wrong inflection or none) is so frustrating I’ve given up.

It starts with food - the voice!
