Special Diets

206 Recipes

Nowadays, it seems like every other person is on some sort of special diet. At least part of the reason for this is the plethora of food intolerances and allergies caused by the industrialized food system and widespread use of gut destroying pharmaceuticals. Children seem particularly hard hit by this trend.

Some people follow special diets simply to facilitate weight loss and optimal fitness. Others need to adjust due to the challenges of aging or a temporary illness that requires specific food restrictions.

No matter the reason for the food philosophy in your home, there are recipes in this section that can help you toward your goals.

I am continually experimenting with modifying conventional recipes to meet the requirements of various diets, so check back frequently to see what’s new!
