What can you eat on the Plant Paradox meal plan? Is there a Plant Paradox shopping list to help prepare you for the diet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to see the Plant Paradox meal plan that will help you implement a low-lectin diet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Plant Paradox Meal Plan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Part 3 of the book outlines meal plans for the program as well as specific recipes. Rather than include everything, we\u2019ll share the main takeaways. If you feel you\u2019d benefit from dozens of PPP-friendly recipes, consider buying the original book.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lectin Free Meal Plan for the Three-Day Cleanse<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Plant Paradox meal plan for the three-day cleanse starts every day with a green smoothie for breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two snacks a day\u2014between breakfast and lunch, and again between lunch and dinner. The author recommends romaine lettuce boats filled with guacamole, half an avocado seasoned with lemon juice, or one-quarter cup of approved nuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lunch each day includes a serving of animal protein, while some dinners are meatless. Vegan<\/a> and vegetarian alternatives to meat include grain-free tempeh, VeganEggs, cauliflower steaks, hemp tofu, and pressure-cooked legumes.\u00a0This lectin free meal plan has some flexibility to adapt to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant Paradox Meal Plan for the Six-Week Gut Repair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The format of the Plant Paradox meal plan for Phase 2 is the same as Phase 1: three meals with two snacks of either guacamole boats, avocado, or nuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the green smoothie is still a breakfast option, alternatives include other smoothies, various muffins (made without lectin-containing grains or flours), and plantain pancakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat no more than 4 ounces of animal protein per meal, totaling no more than 8 ounces per day. Animal protein sources include eggs, pastured chicken, canned and fresh salmon, shrimp, canned sardines, and crab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most lunches and dinners include a salad tossed with (homemade) vinaigrette, and they all include some form of raw, grilled, roasted, or stir-fried approved vegetables. Make sure to put plenty of the approved foods on your Plant Paradox shopping list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long-Term Program with Five-Day Modified Vegan Fast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we talked about, Phase 3 is the final phase, which you should follow indefinitely (or you can choose to stay on Phase 2 indefinitely). The main differences from Phase 2 are that you\u2019ll cut your animal protein intake in half and gradually reintroduce certain lectins. There isn’t as much structure on the Plant Paradox meal plan for Phase 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also do a modified vegan fast five days each month; that Plant Paradox meal plan is simply an extended vegan version of the three-day cleanse from Phase 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
