Millions have tried her Whole30 Diet, but she swears by crickets.
The Whole30 Diet is quite popular and kind of radical. I do not know much about it.
I do know that tons of people have done it, and that the founder of Whole30, Melissa Hartwig, loves eating crickets…
It’s been almost a decade since Hartwig started a food revolution by launching Whole30, a wildly popular month-long diet program that cuts out dairy, alcohol, legumes, grains, sugar, and artificial sweeteners. She doesn’t eat whey or soy protein. But insect protein was Whole30-friendly. (The program emphasizes unprocessed foods and vegetables, but doesn’t discourage meat consumption.) Crickets are a complete protein source: Crickets offer comparable—or better—amounts of protein, vitamin B12, and iron than other meat, according to recent research.
