SIMPLE AIP MEAL PLANNING | AIP Meal Ideas

[@ShannaNemrow]

What are some of you go-to simple AIP meals?? I'd love to hear!

[@respecthewoman]

Look at her eyes when she speaks, shes so excited and cute. Its sad that when I initially started the AIP diet about two years ago we didn't have so many different alternatives and people experimenting much with foods. I say sad, because that means more people are suffering. Yet, the good part is videos like yours so thank you precious. Be well.

[@danitav23]

I appreciate that you mentioned those of us without gall bladder, cause we are often not considered when diet/protocols are discussed. Thank you 😊

[@ShannaNemrow]

You're welcome Danita! xo, Shanna

[@tracytinker]

I have never heard from any of my Dr.s other than try to avooid fats. Arnt we supposed to be taking bile salts? Do you have experiance with that?

[@jaymers25]

AIP chicken wing recipe (trick is the air fryer) AIP friendly Italian herbs, lemon juice, salt, olive oil. Put in bowl mix, sit in mixture for 1 hour. Air fry it. Sooo good.

[@ShannaNemrow]

Oooooo Jamie, that sounds SO good!!! I need to get on that!

[@sarahthreatt7578]

I’m relieved that I met someone as passionate and fast talking as me 😂 So glad I found you!

[@mariacarollo6276]

All this time I’ve been consuming chia, quinoa, nuts & seeds, monk fruit and other things that you have on your exclude list and my Hashimoto’s blood levels were sky rocket no wonder they were not coming down. This is so hard and frustrating! I’ve been eating healthy for 2 years and eliminating all red meats only and eating gluten-free, and my numbers were the same. Thank you so much for sharing this information I’m on a Paleo diet right now but I think I’m going to try your protocol. Thanks again! ❤

[@KD-yk9wv]

So did you try AIP and did it work for you??

[@shannonbuonsanti3940]

I could watch you all day! Have you ever roasted cabbage steaks? Slice them into steaks, drizzle olive oil, pink sea salt and garlic. They carmelize in the oven. Mama Mia!!

[@ShannaNemrow]

LOL - thank you! And nooo...I have not tried those but they sound amazing!! If you make them this month, can you post a pic in the private support page - pretty please with a cherry on top? I cannot imagine what they look like / how to cut them. ;)

[@patwolff7952]

I do this all the time! So good.

[@paradiseacres9724]

I was just diagnosed and I am just 4 weeks AIP... Thank you so much for your positivity and tips on all things AIP!! All of this is a bit overwhelming, but with you along for the journey it seems handleable!! 💜

[@ShannaNemrow]

You're so very welcome! Congrats on 4 weeks AIP! It is totally normal to feel overwhelmed at first. It does get easier with time - and I am so honored to be along with you for the journey! Big virtual hugs!

[@blaze56701]

Hey hope your well How are you now?

[@paradiseacres9724]

@blaze56701 thank you so much for asking! I am absolutely GREAT!! I stayed very restrictive AIP for almost a year and then I moved over to carnivore and I haven't looked back! I feel amazing... my skin, hair, vision, and energy level is fantastic and off the charts! Every bloodwork done my antibodies are lower with my Hashimoto's. I haven't had to use sunscreen or mosquito repellent spray in 2 summers here in the deep south of the US. I only wish I had felt this good in my 20's so I could have run circles around my kids!! They deserved a Mom who felt like I do now. It's not for everyone, but carnivore eating, stress reduction/self love, and reducing chemical exposure has changed my life for the best! If you know you aren't as good as you should be, don't give up, keep searching and find your own personal solution. We, as a species, have only eaten all the crap available and lived this fast paced, stressful lifestyle for less than 75 years and it effects us all differently. I wish you blessings on your journey to better health! Let me know if you have any questions... God bless! Oh, and check out Dr. KEN BERRY here on KZbin. He really changed this former vegetarian for 17 years life more than anyone on this planet!! 🙏🏻💪🏻💯💕

[@LB-ku6ry]

Definitely need positivity

[@kimberlycramer9083]

Thank you for your channel, Shanna! I have Hashimoto’s as well and am in my second week of AIP elimination phase. I started out super complicated but realized that the simpler meals tasted better to me. A hash with ground beef, sweet potatoes, onion, and garlic is my FAVE meal!

[@AnnaMillen]

The fats part is sooo important and I love the way you explained it: every time I’ve tried to follow an anti inflammatory diet (pretty much whole30, mostly plant based) it would be too low in fat and I couldn’t last because I’d feel so unsatiated. So I’m excited to try AIP. I never thought I’d do anything like paleo because I’ve always been such an advocate for carbs, but I’m definitely going to give this a shot. - I have lupus, Hypothyroid and Hashimotos and my lupus has been affecting my lungs and I just want to be able to breathe normally and fully again 🙏

[@pnwliving4504]

You are so encouraging thank you

[@tracytinker]

Thank you for the info. I stoped AIP about a year ago when I got c**id. Had to stay isolated and my husband doesn't have a clue. He would bring home fast food and leave it outsied the bedroom door. I was on it 8 mnths and lost 37lbs and was feeling some better. I have refused injections or infusions so far. I have psorisis, psoriatic arthritis, and sjogrens syndrom so far. Who knows what will pop up next. Hope you have some videos on batch cooking because latley we are eating on the fly. A lot of things I made in the past my Husband didn't even notice it had substitutes or deleted things. I whish he would just stop eating bread, grains, sugar. Sweets are his down fall.

[@laceandribbonsviolin]

I love your energy and fantasizing about one day being this excited about something besides music! I am working on a book about everything I learned in the past 5 years of doing AIP. i think I’m gonna watch this video on repeat until I naturally am excited. I grew up in the South and this is so foreign to me and everyone. When i started i was the only one i knew in my town/region doing this. A couple of years later I finally met someone else in my town on AIP and almost fainted😆 i was so relieved and excited that someone else got it. I felt so good the first month or so of AIP but after eating beef liver I had an allergic reaction and wondered if I had alpha-gal but was never tested. I just eliminated it and introduced sardines and then salmon. It’s been 5 years and I still haven’t eaten beef, chicken, duck, or pork etc. I’ll never eat pork😆 even if it’s pasture-raised organic. I know too much😅 but I will miss bacon. Thanks again! I fall off the bandwagon a lot and eat “AIP junk” once I could eat chocolate again because in the South, I grew up eating sausage, eggs, toast, orange juice for breakfast. It wasn’t until AIP that I learned from my doctor that it’s best to eat fat free breakfast and eat fat with lunch/dinner, because if you want to detox, you have to eat fat free because if your liver digests fat, it can’t dump toxins, but if you eat fat free, your liver doesn’t have to use all its energy to digest fat and it can dump toxins. I usually drink “lemonade” and a smoothie but have added chickpea pancakes and scale back to smoothies when my symptoms pop up. ❤

[@suzisaintjames]

Here's a tip- buy your shrimp already peeled. The caveat is that if you cook the shrimp with the peal on, then peal them, they taste better. But if you peal before cooking anyway... might as well buy the pre-peeled. Note: if the frozen shrimp is pink, it's already cooked and just needs a warm up. Raw shrimp is brownish grey in color. ❤🌅🌵

[@ShannaNemrow]

Thank you! I actually tried to. My local Whole Foods didn't have any shrimp already peeled in a "Wild Caught" option at the time I bought it. It was at the worst of the food issues a couple of months ago, and many shelves were empty. But next time I need some, I'm hoping that is an option ;). Also, good to know to cook with the peel on for better tasting shrimp! I was not impressed when I cooked mine with the peel off so that makes sense. Thanks again!

[@jodiannpost6024]

I just found your channel and I'm thrilled with the content! I have Hashimoto & Fibromyalgia. There is so much bad info out there. I love your positive spin on everything! It's not what you eliminate but what you add Thank you for these videos I've learned so much.

[@ShannaNemrow]

You're so welcome! It's my honor! Cheering you on and sending you so much love and support! You got this!

[@TerryElisabeth]

I'm giggling at the things that gross you out 😄 But it's great to hear how you got over a lot of picky eating and your kids as well. For a chicken wing recipe, I love Japanese style fried chicken every so often. You just marinate in ginger and garlic and salt. Then, lightly bread with tapioca flour and fry 😋 BTW I just realized not too long ago that I needed to eliminate coconut. Once I stopped consuming coconut, my residual facial pain from shingles finally went away! I'm sad about not being able to eat coconut but SO GLAD to be free of the pain finally! I've been on elimination phase since April 2019 and finally feel close to doing reintroductions now that I figured out the cause of my pain. Thanks for sharing this video! ❤❤❤

[@ShannaNemrow]

You're welcome! LOL - I never realized how often I was grossed out before. GREAT idea on the chicken wings - thank you so much! CONGRATS on figuring out that you needed to eliminate coconut - SO GLAD to hear your facial pain from shingles finally went away!! SO excited for you! I had shingles years ago and it was SO painful. The doctor told me there may be nerve damage / residual pain. I haven't had any except when I accidentally get super stressed, then a little pain starts on the side of my back where I had shingles. I told a friend about it who also had shingles and she gets the same thing - told me it's known as a "shingle tingle." But I cannot remember the last time I felt it now...it's been years I think.

[@fembot521]

Your videos are helping me so much! You are amazing ❤️. My favourite lunch lately is kale slaw with bacon 😋. Basically fry up some bacon, then sauté the kale slaw for a few minutes in the grease. Chop the bacon up and mix it in. I also top with fresh ground cumin and cilantro.

[@ShannaNemrow]

Thank you so very much for your support and kind words! Your favorite lunch sounds soooo yummy! I will have to give that a try for sure! Thank you for sharing :)

[@rob0tlove]

Sounds so yummy!! Sadly, cumin is not AIP because it’s a Seed Spice 😢

[@carlward6662]

Love to know how to do this

[@angela3kds]

My fridge is freezing and ruining my fresh veggies :( hoping to get it fixed someday but until I do, I’m trying to figure out how to start a second time on the aip diet. I did it for a year but got bored and gave up especially once I took on a full time job

[@evalippmann8425]

I have hemolytic anemia and antiphospholipid syndrom so I am taking Warfarin do you think this plan would work for me?

[@zinetadvanajscak9021]

hello shanna, thank you for the video, it's great, I have one question?? the doctor says that we shouldn't eat beef meat if we have a thyroid problem??

[@erind2549]

Great video Shanna😊

[@ShannaNemrow]

Thank you so much Erin!! I appreciate it!

[@tkuby7420]

What is a great way to be on the AIP diet if you have food sensitivities?? Another question do you know if food sensitivities could be a reaction from Hashimotos?

[@LB-ku6ry]

Thank you.

[@krislinden]

I saw another video that one of the six most important foods to cut out for Hashimoto’s is mushrooms.

[@angelicflores91]

What kinds of bread do you recommend and where to buy it. Also, can I use buckwheat?

[@ShannaNemrow]

Hi there! So buckwheat is excluded on the elimination phase. As far as bread, there is a AIP flatbread mix made by AIPeazy. Also, there are AIP flatbread recipes. I just haven't tried any. I like the AIP pizza recipe in the Healing Kitchen cookbook.

[@angelicflores91]

Thank you so much! I’m on day 4 of this new healthy life style journey! I’m also a type 1 diabetic and in remission from ovarian cancer. My doctor just told me about this diet so I’m doing everything I can so I can start having children. Love all your videos!

[@ShannaNemrow]

@@angelicflores91 Thank you so much Angelic! I am cheering you on! So excited to hear how your AIP journey goes!

[@NcScbeach1]

I love that I came across your AIP Video! I have read that even grass fead lean beef would cause inflammation so I’m confused . Otherwise, I’m so happy with what you’ve shared ....So Thank You!

[@ShannaNemrow]

You're welcome, and thank you! I love this article about red meat and inflammation: chriskresser.com/does-red-meat-cause-inflammation/

[@nyreegharibian]

Such a great video! How long have you been on AIP? Is it supposed to be short term?

[@ShannaNemrow]

Thank you Nyree! There are three phases of AIP: elimination phase, reintroduction phase, and maintenance phase. The elimination phase is meant to be temporary (a minimum of 30-90 days). I am in the maintenance phase with many reintroductions (eggs, nuts, seeds, etc). I still share mainly about the elimination phase in my videos because it's what I receive the most requests for / most questions about. ;)

[@1776rights]

Just getting tested today for Hashimotos. I love your channel it has helped a lot so far! I really need to know what to include that’s my biggest problem I focus on what I CANT eat

[@ShannaNemrow]

Hi Katie! Thank you so much! Yes - one of my biggest tips is to focus on what to include to crowd out the foods you want to exclude. If you'd like a list of AIP foods to include / and to exclude, click here: shannanemrow.com/2020/05/free-aip-foods-list/. Wishing you all the best today as you go in for testing! Sending you lots of love and support.

[@milenaseymour446]

I just juice most of my veggies . I get a lot in that way :)

[@ellitashealthjourney9775]

I’m just starting AIP and trying to unite AIP with low carb because I am insulin resistant. Is there any help for me on how to get started ? Have been through a rough time recently and I believe I am undiagnosed Hashimoto.

[@patriciahernandez5917]

Can you do the AIP when you are vegan ? 😢

[@edo2097]

I have the same question. Did you have any answer in the meantime? I really cannot stomach meat, cooking it or even going in the supermarket aisles.

[@sarahk89]

I am finding you cannot. A lot of the vegan staple foods are a no no for AIP - and could be causing inflammation in your body. I am a 12 year long vegan who is SERIOUSLY contemplating AIP bc my health is my main focus now. I think it would bring a spiritual aspect into food and an appreciation for the cycle of life. That’s how I would apply it personally.

[@shaanagray1522]

Do you cook the whole chicken in the instant pot frozen or thawed?

[@ShannaNemrow]

Hi Shaana! I usually cook it already thawed. I haven't tried cooking it from frozen but I bet you could....if you cook it for longer. I'd just google it first ;)

[@candykidscourt]

I have to start aip but I was told red meat and nightshade vegetables are a big no no

[@jackies6274]

You are so helpful! I just started the AIP elimination phase almost 2 months ago, I feel great! And you are right about fruits!!! It does feel like such a treat. I’ve been addicted to sugar for so long, its great to rediscover how satisfying fruit can be. What fruits would you suggest during the elimination phase? And how, 10-40 grams too? Thank you so much!

[@ShannaNemrow]

You're welcome Jackie! And thank you!! SO awesome to hear how well you are doing! So what kinds of fruits depends on the person. For months, I needed to be careful about my blood sugar regulation / levels. So I always ate fruit paired with a protein and fat. I also stuck with green apples and berries mainly since they are lower in sugar content. I'd usually only eat 2-3 pieces of that kind of fruit a day. However, in time, I did well with more and more types of fruit and more quantity. Now I can get away with almost anything and get away with much more. So it's a very individual thing in my mind and so important to listen to our bodies. Improving blood sugar regulation helps too - I should do a video with tips for that ;)

[@jackies6274]

Shanna Nemrow Thank you for replying :) I’m sticking to berries for now and just started eating bananas yesterday as a special treat. I would LOVE your idea about blood sugar on AIP!! I think it would be so helpful for many of us :)

[@ShannaNemrow]

@@jackies6274 You're welcome! I will work on that in the coming weeks and hopefully have a video with helpful blood sugar tips out this summer ;)

[@milenaseymour446]

I miss eggs 🥚:(. Never bothered me before . Don’t know why we need to cut these nutrients out ( 🥚 eggs ).

[@mashalight8699]

Perfect 👌🏼

[@ShannaNemrow]

Thank you so much!

[@Ogham]

How many times did she say AIP in this video... anybody count?!

[@ShannaNemrow]

😂 Probably a million 😂

[@zinetadvanajscak9021]

I love you , great video you’re beautiful 🤗Send you hugs 🤗

[@daniellegibson316]

I just stopped dairy and gluten, I feel like I'm on detox🥴, crazy

[@ShannaNemrow]

Oh man, you're not alone! That's so common when coming off of dairy and gluten...hang in there! Lots of rest and hydration usually helps...and time passing.

[@PaulHemsworth-y5b]

The audio on your video is really low and hard to hear

[@waynefilkins8394]

pls marry me and cook for me

[@peterk8953]

Hi! Leave your Husband and come with me. Thank You, Peter

[@JacquiQ]

Oh my golly gosh you talk fast 😅 I can't keep up

[@conniemiller1873]

You could cut this talking time down in half and get on with the program or 10 minutes in and you keep repeating

[@horikrichard8647]

The problem with aip is not the food its that you never get full

[@flowergirl5739]

I started gluten free, dairy free, soy free Its soo Hard. But i think the most really hard part is seeing other people eating what they want and they aren't sick. While we are on strict deit and rules,, still dealing with our autoimmune dieseases.

[@flowergirl5739]

I want to start Aip. I think bananas, sweet potatoes , fish and Aip salads. Are. helpful snacks to feel full.

[@flowergirl5739]

I have type 1 diabetes, G6pd Allergy. Last year i had high cholesterol, pcos, and high tpo antibodies and thyroid nodule.

[@flowergirl5739]

I'm 25 years old. The most hard part is living with people that are healthy and i'm the only one who is dealing with all this diseases, I always think if im living between a gluten free ,dairy free, soy free, or AIP Society,, i will be fine.

[@flowergirl5739]

The most important part is not feeling alone.
