Food alternatives

To maintain balanced nutrition while on an elimination diet, try these substitutions:

  • For a nutrient-dense carb, quinoa can replace brown rice in meals.
  • To boost healthy fats, avocado slices can replace coconut oil in dishes.
  • For added protein, tempeh can replace ground turkey in stir-fries and salads.
  • To increase fiber, chia seeds can replace flax seeds in smoothies and oatmeal.
  • For added flavor, fresh herbs can replace sea salt and black pepper in meals.

How to budget on this meal plan

An elimination diet can be pricey, but planning is key to saving money. Stick to whole foods and buy in bulk when possible. Preparing simple, homemade meals rather than relying on specialty allergen-free products can cut costs. Batch cooking and freezing meals can help manage the budget and reduce food waste. Keeping a detailed meal plan and shopping list can prevent impulse purchases.
