The Elimination and Detoxification Diet ~ It's about Feeling Good!

The main focus of the Elimination Diet is on getting the gluten, dairy, eggs, yeast, and soy out of your diet for 28 days. Doing this, along with eating a diet high in plant fiber, calms inflammation and gives your body a break. Other foods that might be problematic for some are citrus, nightshade vegetables, and certain nuts. These foods are removed in the first phase and are slowly added back in before day 28 to note any negative reaction.

 Since I am a vegetarian, I will NOT be using meat of Any Kind in my cooking. Also, do drink water and herbal teas. NO COFFEE !!! I steam the veggies and roast the seeds/nuts. Soups are an excellent staple. I use rice flour to make my herb biscuits. Yummy!
