no gum is allowed during the whole30 because chewing starts digestive process when it isn’t needed. Sips of water work great for moistening the mouth during workouts. That makes sense, but do you have any suggestions other than water?
The Whole30 eliminates carrageenan, MSG, and sulfites on the program. Other common additives, like xanthan gum or ascorbic acid, are allowed. Not all additives are “toxic;” acsorbic acid sounds scary, but it’s really just a fancy name for vitamin C. See our Common Additive Cheat Sheet for details.
You can eat nothing but snacks, and as long as everything is compatible, you’re doing the Whole30. In the beginning, it may be hard to get your meal size just right. In that case, snacks can be helpful! (We never want you to starve.) I fully expect you’ll need to “snack” at other points during the program, too. ( Emergencies happen! Be prepared.)
The amount of sugar listed on the nutrition label has nothing to do with whether something is Whole30 or not. Nutrition labels round to the nearest full digit, so just because something says “0 grams” next to “sugar” doesn’t mean there’s no added sugar! Look for any form of sugar (real or artificial) in the ingredient list.
What is Whole30 for health?
The Whole30 is designed to change your relationship with food, first and foremost. And the psychological impact of eating pancakes as part of your healthy eating, life-changing plan cannot be ignored.
It’s only 30 days.
Traditional hummus is made from garbanzo beans, which are a legume. However, there are some really yummy hummus-like dip recipes out there, like this one from Jennifer at Living Grainlessly.

Yes, you can have your coffee. You’re welcome. You can drink it black, add unsweetened compatible nutpods, coconut milk, almond milk, or add cinnamon or vanilla beans to the brew. But remember, Whole30 guidelines exclude milk, cream, non-compatible milk substitutes, and added sweeteners—including stevia (more on that below).
Anything with added sugar is out for your Whole30. Tip: Coconut water is essentially a “light” fruit juice. If you’re involved in endurance athletics, work in a profession that leaves you prone to dehydration, or just want a refreshing treat, coconut water can be a fine choice for rehydration.
Bragg’s Amino Acids: No. Bragg’s Amino Acids are derived from soy , and all form s of soy are out for your Whole30. A great Whole30-compatible substitute is Coconut Secret’s Coconut Aminos or Thrive Market’s Coconut Aminos. Tastes just like soy sauce!
