Start with The New Whole30
The New Whole30 was published in August 2024, and is our fully-updated “how to” for both the Original Whole30 (for omnivores) and the Plant-Based Whole30 (for vegans, vegetarians, and those exploring a plant-based diet). Inspired by our community, the newest research, and the ever-changing food landscape, Whole30 co-founder Melissa Urban has expanded the program to be even more accessible, supportive, and effective. In The New Whole30, you’ll find completely updated rules, language, and success strategies for every phase of your journey. You’ll also find more than 100 all-new recipes plus some updated Whole30 favorites, all of which are 100% gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and added-sugar-free.
The New Whole30 is also available as an audiobook, read by Melissa herself.

This softcover journal-style book is designed to help you stay connected to the process every day of the program with motivation, support, and resources specific to whatever day you are on. While this book. It’s like having me as your personal Whole30 guide as you walk through the Whole30 one day at a time, sharing a day-by-day timeline, personal motivation, community inspiration, habit hacks, and meal tips; plus guidance for self-reflection, food journaling, and tracking your non-scale victories.

Life after the Whole30
If this is your first Whole30, you probably want to know what “life after” is going to look like, and how you can maintain your new, healthy habits and many Whole30 non-scale victories.

In both instances, reading or listening to Food Freedom Forever will help you do just that. Food Freedom Forever outlines my 3-step plan for discovering and sustaining your version of food freedom, including in-the-moment and long-term success strategies. There’s also a special section on how to talk to friends and family about your new, healthy habits in a way that brings you closer together and keeps you feeling supported on the journey.
