Paleo auto-immunity diet (The Autoimmune Protocol)?

[NicShaf]

I did whole30 last may. It was not a pleasant experience for me-im sure you can see its tough to stay on. My dissapointment was that i actually felt alot worse expecially after the first full week. And i wasnt starving myself either. It just didn't sit well with me for some reason. BUT- i know it can help some people have more energy n feel better overall. Best wishes that you will have that experience!

Thanks for sharing. The whole reason I looked it up in the first place is that I was reading that some people didn't have the great experience that is promised by the program when they were also dealing with an auto-immune disease. From what I read, there are certain foods you should avoid that the program recommends? But, of course, I can't find any detail on the subject.

Guess I'll just have to follow it as best I can and see for myself

Hi im so blessed!
I absolutely hated the program. Lasted about a week. by day 3 or 4, I had no appetite, and felt very bloated and just gross. So, I started googling stuff, learning that they whole "cutting carbs out 100%" idea is actually called Ketosis. more or less, a state of starvation that your body goes into. Sure, you'll start dropping weight in week 3 as promised, but what happens when you start eating like a normal human again? I was interested in the program to see if i had sensitivities to certain foods. instead of following this strict diet, I just started cutting out foods every week, and reintroducing them. I've stopped most milk products, and most refined sugar. i've still had a little success with losing a few pounds, just slowly, and what i feel is more naturally. I didn't want to throw my whole body out of wack doing the whole 30. it just didn't feel good to me.

I could'nt agree more. It's really not sensible.Cutting things out that are good for your body just for the sake of following a program??? Doesn't make any sense to me. At the same time, I'm sure it helps some people. But any plan that makes you feel worse(especially after 2 whole weeks still) just isn't worth it. To me atleast
