But what about my healing diet?
One of the things I really love about this book is the flexibility built right into it. Take noodles, for example. Noodles are a key element in many of these takeout classics and would therefore make them inherently non-paleo, right? Wrong. In actuality, every dietary restriction is accommodated, from rice noodles to spiralized vegetables to kelp noodles to sweet potato noodles. That means that you can make the noodle dishes whether you are eating a “safe starch” paleo diet, Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), the low-FODMAP diet, following a Whole 30, or even on a strict elimination diet like the paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP)!
Additionally, Russ has created an exhaustive and impressive guide to modifying the recipes for both the Whole 30 and for AIP, which you can check out here. These modifications make over 90% of the recipes Whole 30 compliant and 80% AIP-friendly!
Modifying for SCD or low-FODMAP will require you to have knowledge of your own restrictions and some dishes will still be off limits, but you will still find many that you can make and enjoy!
