AIP (Autoimmune Paleo/Protocol)
I've been on an elimination diet (no sugar, beef, dairy, eggs, gluten, soy, and a few other items) and have been able to improve some joint pain with which I've been struggling.

Eating out in a large group
Hi, guys. My question relates to eating out at a restaurant on a student budget. When groups of people and I go out to eat, generally there are a few bottles of wine on the table plus a few appetizers. I've completely cut out alcohol from my diet. I've decided that my strategy will be to eat a small salad at home before…
