QuantumGhost Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I recently (1 mo ago) brought salmon back into my WFPB lifestyle, and eggs have been a part of it for even longer. can I keep these as I follow the Plant-based Whole30 plan?

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted February 27, 2022 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2022 No, the plant-based Whole30 and the original Whole30 are two separate programs and aren't meant to be combined. If you eat two types of animal-based protein (eggs and salmon), you can do the original Whole30 using those two protein sources, but not including soy or other protein options from the plant-based Whole30 that aren't allowed on the original Whole30. If you prefer not to eat that much animal protein, you could do the plant-based as it is written, the using the reintroduction plan for people willing to eat animal-based protein to reintro the salmon and eggs afterwards.

QuantumGhost Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 Thank you. Can you share the science or reason behind this? I am having a hard time understanding how the plant-based suddenly allows foods that weren’t allowed in the original W30? What is it about mixing soy and animal based foods? Or legumes and animal foods? this isn’t a challenge, just understanding the basis behind it all helps me immensely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted February 28, 2022 Moderators Share Posted February 28, 2022 The reasoning behind this is that if you eat two or more animal based protein sources then you leave out the plant based ones and reintroduce them after as per the original program - you get a much broader idea of what beans/legumes/soy products work for you and what doesn't. If you don't eat animal protein, then the plant based protein sources are included to ensure that participants are getting enough protein in their diets.
