When starting on a diet or a new way of eating, I think the most common question that comes to mind is…
“Okay, so what can’t I eat?”
This is why it is so important to choose a nutrition plan that has some purpose behind it and will help personally support you on a road to better health, rather than just choosing another fad diet that will only leave you feeling deprived.
This is especially true when it comes to doing a diet like the GAPS Nutritional Protocol.
For me and my family, it was all about finding a plan that would help with the migraines, stomach pains, constipation, joint inflammation, asthma, eczema, autism, and so much more we were collectively experiencing.
But even though this nutritional protocol has stories of great success and I had the motivation to do it due to the all of the health ailments we were experiencing, it doesn’t mean it isn’t hard.
It’s not easy taking out foods that you’ve been used to eating most – if not all – of your life. Especially when the majority of the foods you’ve been eating are part of the Standard American Diet.
When you really break it down though, these food-like-substances that might seem somewhat scary to take out of your diet are really foods we shouldn’t be eating anyway, whether you’re following the GAPS Diet or not.
Right!?
These foods simply don’t nourish us on a physiological or biological level.
For this reason, I really try (and have my clients try) to focus on all of the nourishing foods that CAN be eaten on the GAPS Nutritional Protocol instead of focusing on what we have to eliminate.
Just this simple mindshift has allowed me to center my attention on healing without feeling so deprived in the process.
Especially during the early Intro Stages of the diet when the symptoms of detox truly are no joke!
Hopefully this perspective also helps you as much as it has for me.
