AIP Diet/ Autoimmune protocol diet

[joel]

My health couch has me on this diet, because I am taking prednisone for 90 days.
The Doctor says it is the lowest dose he can give me, what he would give a 10 year old child.
I can eat all the meat I want to & vegetables, but no Nightshade family( tomatoes,peppers,white potatoes or egg plant).
No nuts or lentals, dariy or any seeds, AKA grains, thats ALL breads, nooldes,cereals, hot or cold.
I can have a little fruit, some small amount of sweets.
So does anyone know anything about the AIP Diet?

 

[Amish Heart]

No. But it sounds just like the Atkins Diet

 

[joel]

Yes, but it is not for weight loss, it for easing the stress on your internal system.

This sounds like a diet that would lend itself well to those with insulin resistance. Prednisone is well known to increase blood glucose levels. Is combating high blood glucose part of the reason for this diet? I've never heard of AIP before...

 

[joel]

That true, when large dose over a long time.
I never heard of AIP until now.
I love meat & raw vegrtables.
BUT I am having carbs withdrawal & it is a pain.

 

[joel]

Well the withdrawal have almost stoped.
I still miss peanuts & pizza.
On the up side I feel great for 58 year old men thats 50 pound over weight.
I did lose 15 pounds
Not the reason for the AIP diet, but I will take it.
I may stay on a modified AIP diet, if I am going to feel this good all the time.
By Modified I mean, I will eat things not on the diet once or twice a week & Holidays.
