I'm starting my second week of the Autoimmune Protocol and wondering if anyone else is on it or tried it? I've seen some improvement but not as much as I want and just feeling a bit frustrated.

    You will need to be patient, if AIP is going to be helpful to you it is likely to take more than a week for it to kick in properly.

    I know. Do you have any ideas for how to stay with it? I use food for comfort but can't while on AIP

    Comes down to health doesn't it. Long term health over very short-term pleasure.

    Find alternative things to do other than comfort eat. If stressed have a soak in the bath, if angry do a boxing class or hit the road for a brisk walk, if lonely call or visit with a friend, keep your hands and mind busy..do some knitting or crocheting, etc etc

    Good luck! I just finished 4 weeks strict and am feeling amazing. Just starting the reintroduction of some foods. Feel free to add me!
