SchrodingersCat Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I can't find the link I was looking for, but as I understand it, it is not allowed because alcohol does absolutely no good, and in fact some bad, to the body. Melissa says "the only reason to drink alcohol is because it’s so delicious or so special, it’s worth the negative health consequences. (The hormonal disruptions, the negative impact on sleep, the impaired gut permeability, and our tendency to make poor food-related choices after a drink or three.)" So it isn't allowed in the 30 days because the whole point is to avoid anything that could be disruptive or negative to your body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 21, 2019 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2019 These kinds of questions are addressed in the book It Starts With Food, if you want all the reasons for the rules. Here's the basic summary for why no alcohol: http://whole9life.com/2012/09/the-alcohol-manifesto/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
