Autoimmune Diet And Recipes

On the lookout for paleo meals to fit the autoimmune protocol restrictions? Here are over 20 delicious AIP lunches and dinners to get you started. Soups, salads, seafood, chicken, beef… a little bit of everything.

I’ve been gluten-free for yeeeears. Almost 9, to be exactish. And I’ve been doing paleo/GAPS for 6 of those years. So I’ve been around the block of healing diets. When I first learned about AIP, though, I was a little confused. What are the exact restrictions? Why are they put in place? Is AIP a long-term diet, like gluten-free or paleo, or is it a short term thing, like GAPS?

If you’re wondering the same thing, let me give you a little synopsis of what AIP stands for in the health food world…

Fantastic Paleo Aip Recipes For Summertime

So yeah… you probably guessed by that title up there that AIP stands for Auto-Immune Protocol. In short the AIP diet was designed to lower inflammation. This allows the body to heal from autoimmune disease. It’s not meant to be a long-term diet, just long enough to heal. Then, like the GAPS Diet, you can slowly start adding back in foods. 

AIP is similar to paleo in the fact that you can’t have grains, legumes, or dairy, but it goes a step beyond and removes other potentially inflammatory foods like eggs, nightshades, seeds, and nuts.

I know it sounds like a lot, but don’t worry. There are still plenty of delicious things you can enjoy on the AIP diet! Below I’ve put together a tasty list of over 20 delicious and nourishing AIP lunches and dinners.
