Elimination Diet - Healthy Snack Alternatives

Jul 31

They say it takes 21 days to form a habit. For most of us, our personalized roadmap to wellness starts with a 21-day elimination diet where we eliminate dairy, gluten, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine.

Often when we work with patients, we hear a whole host of objections to this diet. For instance, you might think you cannot give up eating or drinking that item that you enjoy so much. However, keep in mind that you are not giving it up completely - you are just giving it up for 21 days. Perhaps, by the end of those 21 days, you will form some new habits that might stick, but it’s ok if they do not. Our main goal is to get through the 21 days.

Another common objection is, thinking that you will not have anything to eat while you are on the elimination diet. As you learn more about the diet, you will find that this is not true. There are many healthy alternatives to your usual snacks, and an online store like Thrive Market makes it easy for you to select the foods that fit into your diet plan.

Some of my favorite foods from Thrive Market include:

Banza Pasta
Plant Snacks Cassava Root Chips
Grain-Free Pretzel Sticks
Grain-Free Vegan Nacho Puffs

For an alternative to coffee, we like:

Rasa Coffee
Mud WTR

We highly recommend looking into these products for your elimination diet. You might even find yourself staying with these at the end of the 21 days. At Mana Wellness Medicine, we are committed to helping you achieve your health and wellness goals.
