So it sounds like you have lost some weight if you are down to 152 from a higher number. I know an autoimmune protocol diet can look different depending on which diet you are following. Can you give an example of a typical day’s worth of food? How is your energy level and sleep? There are so many factors to weight loss, you may consider a private nutrition appointment if you need more extensive help but happy to explore it here with you as well.

Thank you Zoe. This autoimmune protocol diet eliminates all grains, dairy, nuts, seeds, legumes, night shades and any “crossover” foods that the body might mistake for the previously mentioned. In addition, trying to keep Cruciferous vegetables to a minimum due to the slowing effect on the thyroid. But they are my favorites. My typical meals consisted of a lean meat (typically cod or salmon), kale, spinach and daikon root thinly sliced and cooked or sautéed in coconut oil like pasta. Fruit – most all berries (especially blue berries), apples, banana ( minimally, too much makes my mouth itch). Lots of home made soups with whole chicken celery, carrot, garlic and ginger. Heavy fresh herbs (we grow many of our own). Hope that helps.

Sounds like your doing everything right!!  I have celiac sprue and need to be gluten-free.. my research on it revealed that any autoimmune disease is in direct correlation  with celiac sprue. Several autoimmune diseases run in my family including ALS.  Both my brothers have Frontal Lobe Dementia.  I am convinced had they listened to me 14 yrs ago and went on a gluten-free diet they would have not had to suffer with this autoimmune disease.  Once you succumb to a autoimmune disease the gluten-free diet will not cure it… but it can prevent the disease.  Since you have taken all grains out of you diet.. the gluten free bread would be a great substitute.. I use glutino.  It is the best gluten-free bread I’ve found so far.

Most packaged gluten-free foods are bad for everyone because they are high glycemic.  Your diet sounds really good. Make sure to check out Tana’s recipes, which are without gluten and corn.
