Autoimmune Protocol Diet

Restrictive elimination diet with early, small-study evidence for autoimmune symptom relief.

Verdict

A therapeutic tool for autoimmunity, not a general longevity diet.

Protocol

• Strictly eliminate grains, legumes, dairy, eggs, nightshades, nuts, seeds, and processed foods for 30-90 days.
• Systematically reintroduce food groups one at a time to identify individual inflammatory triggers.

Flags

• Highly restrictive and can be socially isolating and difficult to maintain long-term.
• Risk of nutrient deficiencies (e.g., calcium, fiber) without careful planning.
• The reintroduction phase is a critical component and is not intended as a permanent diet.
