whole 30 aip

My awesome hubs had a flare up of gout this weekend and it was terrible. he was in a lot of pain and we had to go to the doctor's office this weekend and pay out the butt.
he also has thyroid issues....

we've been looking at the paleo lifestyle. trying to figure out if it would work for us.

ok lets be honest. it looks damn hard and being lazy we did not want to do it, put in the effort.

but the aip- auto-immune protocol that follows the whole 30 is exactly what we're doing.

sodas and sugary drinks have been gone for over a week. we're going to follow the aip and eliminate some big things from our diet. i'm sure i'm going to be miserable, but it's the best way to see what is triggering us food wise. for me, i know my beloved cheese is not exactly working with me now. every time i eat cheese my mouth turns really red and hurts.

tonight dinner was hamburger steak, mashed sweet potato, peas (ick) a huge salad with strawberries and blackberries and a vinaigrette

i'm taking it one day at a time.

i'll update soon.
