AIP for Vegetarians

Gallery Leave a comment

    Transitioning to AIP is a challenge itself, especially if we think about the 30 days reset phase. And that’s quite easy to understand, especially if you’re starting from a filthy-greasy-fast foody diet like mine was before AIP.

    The challenge, however, is even more difficult for certain people, who have specific food restrictions that are adding an even greater effort: those are the people who have specific food intolerance to certain AIP ingredients or the ones who are vegetarians.

    In this article we’re going to discuss the case of vegetarians, since the AIP diet is itself a diet based on protein in quite a large proportion. So the simple thought of vegetarians on AIP diet made me a bit scared at first, but that’s only until I saw the WHAT THE HEALTH documentary on Netflix.

    This film has been a life changer for me. And it’s not because I became an instant vegetarian, but because it offered me the right information to understand that the protein we get from meat can actually be taken from any vegetables out there.

    So it was then when I understood that the AIP diet for vegetarians is absolutely possible and even recommended. The documentary shows the really nasty business behind meat production, proving all its harmful effect to both the environment as well to the human body, if we talk about processed meat. And the solution to that lays in the botanical nature, pretty much the nature that vegetarians enjoy.

    Now here are some vegetarian AIP recipes that I found online and that I tried myself in times of vegetarian experimenting:

    And these are just some of the dozens of vegetarian AIP combinations you could make. For non-vegetarians like me they normally make great side dishes, but most of them are so rich in vitamins and minerals that you could just eat them alone.

    Enjoy!
