What is AIP?

April 23, 2016

AIP.

DECIPHER THE ACRONYM.

The autoimmune protocol (AIP) is the brainchild of Dr. Loren Cordain, a scientist who discovered that certain primal foods can sometimes trigger inflammation in people with autoimmune disease. Eating AIP can seem like an up hill battle, so we have provided some quick facts, extra resources, and have several different menus for our customers to make it as simple as possible.

WHAT TO AVOID PERMANENTLY

Processed Food
Emulsifiers and Thickeners (guar gum, carrageenan, etc.)
Refined Oils
Refined Sugars
Grains (including corn)
Dried Legumes (including soy and peanuts)
Stevia (and other non-nutritive sweeteners)

ELIMINATE FOR A MINIMUM OF 30 DAYS AND REINTRODUCE

Eggs
Dairy
Nuts (including nut-based oils)
Seeds (including coffee and cocoa and seed-based oils)
Nightshades (both vegetables and spices)
Alcohol
Seed-based Spices

The Pre-Made Paleo Approach

At Pre-Made Paleo, in an effort to cater to all of our customers, we eliminate all of these items from our AIP Menu meals. We also want to provide as much variety as possible, incorporate tons of flavor and offer a few different menus including breakfast options.
