RE: Whole30 - Day 30 – All done.....sort of
No on the other grains. No grains at all. A little paleo flour seems fine though.

Thank goodness there’s something you can occasionally use for... baking? Thickening a sauce? I don’t suppose paleo flour cookies are all they are touted to be.
Yes, paleo flour, a combination flour from Bob's Red Mill, as well as nut flours and coconut flour. Those are all 'in.'
I did some reading about the AIP diet today. Similar to Whole30, there is a period of high restriction followed by re-introduction. But the restriction period is longer, 6-8 weeks, and there are more restrictions. No herbs from seeds such as mustard, cumin, coriander, fennel, cardamom, fenugreek, caraway, nutmeg, and dill seed, and no nightshades including tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant, paprika, mustard seeds, all chili's including spices. Also a limit of two fruits a day to limit fructose. It seems like more than I am willing to take on without some indication that I need to. It does make me a little nervous not to give it a try since some of these foods supposedly harm you "silently." But, I think my body is being pretty vocal and getting my attention sufficiently to keep me on track. I know I want to steer clear of grains and sugar permanently. I am still on the fence about beans and dairy. I don't plan to eat a lot of potatoes, but do plan to have some occasionally. I may treat beans and dairy the same way, not a lot, but sometimes if they don't cause any problems. I haven't seen any ill effects from nuts so plan to keep those happily on the 'in' list.
Oh, and no eggs for 6-8 weeks with AIP. Cannot imagine what that would be like.
