Like the paleo diet, the AIP diet is an elimination diet designed to cut out and replace certain foods known for being inflammatory triggers with nutrient dense foods to improve gut health, hormone regulation and immune system regulation. The AIP diet works in three phases, with each phase focused on taking inventory of the foods you're eating and the symptoms you experience after eating those foods or removing those foods from your daily consumption. On the surface, the AIP diet can seem like a lot to sort through, which is why Gardinier stresses the importance of working with a dietitian before starting this diet on your own. One person's body might not have the same inflammatory triggers as someone else's, and cutting out foods means you have to really focus on diversifying the food you're eating in an effort to get the amount of nutrition your body needs to remain healthy and strong. If you have an autoimmune disorder or chronic inflammation and other forms of treatment haven't proven as successful as you'd hoped, trying the AIP diet will be beneficial.
