Whole 30 Crockpot Recipes

There's no getting around the fact that the Whole30 diet is a low-carb, restrictive diet. It involves eliminating sugar, grains, beans, and dairy for 30 days with the hope of identifying food intolerances and essentially push the reset button on your digestive system.

While the Whole30 isn't necessarily touted as a weight loss diet, people have tried it for those reasons and seen success, however, as with any elimination diet or restrictive eating style, weight loss may come at first, but when you reintroduce those foods, the weigh often returns. Healthy eating pros would suggest a more holistic diet or lifestyle change that focuses on nutrition rather than elimination for sustained weight management.

No matter what your reason for trying the Whole30 diet, though, the key to surviving is to have an arsenal of recipes that are Whole30-compliant. These 10 easy and delicious Whole 30 crockpot recipes have you that covered.

Beef Barbacoa

It's got a little something for everyone; a little bit of spice from the chipotle powder and cumin, and a little citrus from the orange and lime. Whole30 dieters can eat it on a bed of lettuce or cauliflower rice, otherwise, it could be wrapped like a taco in a tortilla.
