It is weird.
Yes, I’ll admit it, ‘the diet’ our family is on is weird.
I sometimes feel like I am constantly explaining.
Are you sure you don’t want a cookie?
Aren’t most truly good things also hard? Trying an ‘autism’ diet wasn’t a big deal to me as someone who has altered her food for years to avoid allergic reactions. We also travel around the world for a living, which would be miserable if we only liked Cocoa Puffs or Wheat Thins. We’re accustomed to eating foreign foods and other ‘weird things’.
So we tried new things! We learned new recipes. Don’t worry, we still eat brownies with the rest of them. They are just made without flour or sugar. We finally know what NOT to eat: No flour. No sugar. No grains. No potatoes. No noodles. No rice. If you or someone you love wants to invest time (realistically 1-2 years or more) to eat toward a stronger immune system, check out GAPS and SCD!
So what do we eat?? Over the next few posts I invite you to try a new recipe, if you’re into that kind of thing, and ‘eat along with us’! For the next 6 days I will post one recipe from this diet that we have come to love and have made recently. And who knows? Without all that flour and sugar, you might enjoy guilt-free seconds on brownies!
