In my previous post “I’m in remission!!!!!” I have mentioned that I am currently following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet and I promised you an updated what I eat in a day (the previous one can be found here). When I promise something I deliver, therefore, enjoy 🙂
First some basic rules of the diet:
1. I eat four meals a day
2. Two of the meals (breakfast and lunch) contain protein and vegetables
3. For my midday snack I eat some fruit (a banana, a pear) with some cashew nuts or almonds
4. Dinner is my favourite – it is a vegetable cream soup with sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
5. During this diet you cannot eat any grains, gluten or dairy.
6. And, of course, my most mentioned rule – drink pleanty of water during the day 🙂 (I wouldn’t be myself without writing that)
Sounds strict and complicated but it is not. And, what is most important you do not feel hungry 🙂
Now, I believe it is time for some examples with pictures 🙂
Breakfast
As mentioned before, breakfast must contain protein and some vegetables. I have two types of breakfast that I like.
Spinach, egg omlette with some pickles
Â
Grilled chicken breast with iceberg lettuce, pickles, avocado and olive oil.
Snack
Banana and some nuts 🙂
Â
Lunch
Roasted cod (seasoned with parsley and lemon) with broccoli
Â
Grilled chicken breast with broccoli and cooked cabbage
Â
Dinner
Beetroot cream soup with sunflower seeds
Â
Broccoli soup with coconut milk and sunflower seeds.

I know what you might think. Why, is she eating broccoli all the time? It’s not obligatory to eat it in every dish. I just love this vegetable and it fits in my every protein meal. It can be replaced by any vegertable (courgette, cauliflower, cucumbers) but I like broccoli the most.
So, I hope that I have given you a glance in my daily eating
