Changing your diet to support your health is not easy, let’s be real. One of the hardest things is the feeling of grief and having to say goodbye to your favorite foods. And yes, AIP should focus on nutrient density and I definitely recommend keeping it quite simple for the day-to-day, it can be such a sigh of relief knowing that there are alternative recipes that can replace some of your favorite foods. Because yes, nutrient-density and healing foods are crucial but deprivation is not going to be helpful on your healing journey and we cannot ignore that food is also important for our mental wellbeing. Below are some of my favorite recipes that make the AIP a lot more fun.
