What Is The AIP Diet?

Foods To Avoid On The AIP Diet

The list of foods to avoid on the AIP diet may seem intimidating, but individuals should remember these aren't meant to be permanent restrictions. Once again similar to the paleo diet, the AIP diet bans dairy, grains, and legumes. However, the AIP diet goes further: eggs, nuts and seeds, and spices, which are usually okay on the paleo diet, are forbidden by the AIP diet. Individuals are also expected to avoid nightshade-related vegetables, such as tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Alcohol and coffee are forbidden. Foods with added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup are not permitted, and even sugar-alternative sweeteners such as stevia are not allowed (although small amounts of honey or maple syrup for sweetening are okay).
