I found the Wahls protocol very beneficial for autoimmune.

Hi @bayhorse - No, I don’t follow a specific plan. That’s one of the nice things about plant-based is that’s the plan - plant based foods. 😋I do try to eat the whole plant as much as possible (ex I eat edamame but not soy milk).

I’ve found that religion, politics, and protein are three topics I try to avoid discussing! But I’ll go there for you. By eating a wide variety of vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes each day, I get about 20-30 grams of protein per meal. If I add something like pea powder to a smoothie or use chickpea pasta, I can get about 30-40 grams per meal.

Personally, since I’ve never been told I have a protein or iron deficiency, I don’t worry about it and probably only get about 60 grams total most days.

For reference, I’m 55, strength train four days a week, and hike 8-10 miles in the Colorado mountains every weekend.

I do take a B-12 supplement as that is a nutrient you can’t get from commercially grown plants in the US.

Having said all that, I know many people who say they don’t feel their best on a diet like mine. So definitely, talk to your doctor and listen to your body.

There are so many great vegan cookbooks and chefs on social media. I really like the Oh She Glows cookbooks by Angela Liddon.

Good luck and good health!
