The elimination diet, by avoiding certain foods for a time period, allows your body to start healing, and also helps you uncover underlying food intolerances you may not have known you had. Another myth is that you have to be a Food Network professional chef to eat well. False. If you can follow simple instructions, you can do it! Trying something new is different than not being able to do it. And you’ll only see different results if you do things differently. The last falsehood is that you have to be wealthy to eat good, healthy meals. Almost all of my patients over the years have been working-class people. And it’s amazing how much money you save when you aren’t eating out as often and buying so much crappy junk foods. Often, it’s a matter of priority, not price. To prove how diverse and delicious eating on the elimination diet can be, I’m sharing what a day of real meals looks like: Organic kale with olive oil and sea salt Fried sweet potatoes in grass-fed ghee (clarified butter) Organic sweet butter lettuce Grass-fed skirt steak Sliced organic avocado Sliced organic cucumber Cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil Red wine vinegar Organic blueberries and raspberries Steamed rainbow carrots Organic romaine lettuce with oil and vinegar A cutting-edge nutrition deep dive taught by 20+ top health & wellness experts
