"Rates of autoimmune diagnosis have been rising dramatically and so too has interest in the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), a science-backed dietary and lifestyle program. Feedback from thousands of practitioners and millions of patients, as well as new research, has indicated that AIP needs an update: Many patients see results before extensive dietary eliminations. In The New Autoimmune Protocol, leading AIP authority Mickey Trescott not only explains the basics of autoimmune disease and new medical research but also provides a new addition to the protocol: Modified AIP Elimination, which makes relief achievable by many more autoimmune sufferers. The New Autoimmune Protocol includes detailed meal plans and more than seventy AIP-friendly recipes, divided into two essential sections: Core AIP Recipes & Meal Plans: the standard AIP elimination protocol (excluding all grains, gluten, dairy, legumes, nightshades, processed vegetable oils, nuts and nut oils, seeds and seed oils, alcohol, and processed food chemicals); Modified AIP Recipes & Meal Plans: the new AIP elimination protocol, which is less restricted and now includes ghee, rice, pseudo-grains, legumes (except soy), and seeds. This book arms you with flexible meal plans, delicious recipes, and the knowledge you need to regain your vitality, whether you decide on Core or Modified AIP."--Inside cover.
