Autoimmune Cookbook
Autoimmune All-Day Recipes
The autoimmune protocol is a very basic diet. It consists of fruits, vegetables and meat. However, not all vegetables are allowed: a specific family of vegetables known as nightshades causes autoimmune reactions in a large amount of people. The nightshade family includes eggplants, tomatoes, peppers (sweet and hot kinds – even chilies and jalapeños), mustard and potatoes. Artificial and no-calorie sweeteners are banned, as are processed foods, vegetable oils, dairy, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, eggs, dried fruit and alcohol. What you can eat: meat (preferably grass-fed), fish and seafood, around 2 pieces of fruit per day, the occasional use of natural sweeteners (maple syrup, honey) in small amounts, fermented foods, many coconut products including milk, oil and coconut aminos, clarified butter (known as ghee) and non-nightshade veggies.
