AIP Winter Salad

When I make a salad, I want it to be the main meal.  The star.  I never want to be hungry after eating one and I don’t ever want to be left feeling empty, pathetic and deprived (ok, maybe a little dramatic, but you get my drift).

AIP: 7 Month Update

 

 

As I sit here typing this, I’ve just passed the 7 month mark of being on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).

My Christmas AIP Treat eBook

 

 

As you know, I’m in the midst of the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).  However, I have made the decision that living the AIP life over the festive season will not preclude me from all of its deliciousness.  I’m all about self care - not deprivation!

I’m sharing with you a free little book of my favourite Christmassy AIP sweet treats to help see you (and me) through the festive season. 

 

Merry Christmas!

Leaky Gut + AIP Bounty Bars

 

 

Right at this moment in time, I’m in the “loving and healing my gut” mindset.

 

Basically, I’ve been following the AIP diet since the beginning of May this year, and even though I’ve definitely felt the positive benefits of it, I have also been dealing with a few set-backs due to gut inflammation.  Why and how this is happening, I may never know, but I’m on a mission.

 

So what is leaky gut?
