Idiot’s Guides: Autoimmune Cookbook by Amari Thomsen2015 | ISBN: 1615648666 | English | 224 pages | EPUB | 343 MBAccording to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, autoimmune disease affects up to 50 million Americans-that’s 1 in 12-and disease rates have tripled in the last 30 years. Modern medicine doesn’t seem able to help much, but diet can make a huge difference. The autoimmune protocol (AIP) program makes specific food choices to help reduce inflammation in the body and assist in managing symptoms.In beautiful full color, Idiot’s Guides: Autoimmune Cookbook is for those who seek tasty dishes that adhere to the auto-immune protocol. Featuring 120 delicious recipes, the dishes avoid all the problem ingredients that can increase inflammation-grains, dairy, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds, nightshades, and refined or processed oils and sugars- without sacrificing an ounce of flavor.The AIP method can be challenging-some of the techniques for working with substitute items are labor-intensive, and ingredients may be pricey and hard to find. Idiot’s Guides: Autoimmune Cookbook is ideal for people with budget and time constraints. It sticks to quick, simple cooking techniques, as well as ingredients that shoppers can readily find. A glossary covers basic cooking terminology and technique. Information on stocking a pantry, meal plans, and shopping lists are also included. Amazon Reviews:5.0 out of 5 starsSimple. Brain-fog proof. Wait — what was I talking about?By Michelle on March 4, 2016I got this book based on Jackie Mathews’s review, and I’m glad I did! I second everything the previous reviewer says. I’ve been toying with doing AIP for months now, but I’ve been so overwhelmed by it that I keep finding myself stuck. I’ve read all the AIP books out there, and this is my favorite. I suppose it depends what you’re looking for. For me, I needed simple. I needed stuff boiled down, and I needed to be able to handle the shopping, meal planning, etc. with my brain fog. This book was it.This was also the book that had the most recipes in it that I would actually make. They look simple and delicious. Using the book, I did some shopping for staples and food items to make a few recipes, and I’m planning on batch cooking this weekend and starting the diet in earnest in a couple days. I’ll update the review once I have tried some of the recipes.5.0 out of 5 stars This book is AMAZING! Went AIP a few years ago when I …By Jackie Matthews on January 7, 2016This book is AMAZING! Went AIP a few years ago when I found out I had Hashimoto’s but strayed away from it over the years. Decided that I needed to start back on it again and had AIP cookbooks on my Christmas list. I got this one thankfully! I am basically starting over in the journey and this time I have been a bit scattered in terms of how to get it all organized to get this going again, but this cookbook is MORE than just a cookbook! It also addresses STAPLE ITEMS as well as MEAL PLANNING! It even has the diet laid out in simple terms, the do’s and don’ts as well as good, better, best options for those of us who are on a budget! I also love that it has a little bit about different ingredients, as a lot of them are new and different to many starting out on this journey. I feel this book is the PERFECT book for the person just starting (or starting again) before buying any other AIP cookbooks. LOVE THIS!!
