Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and beets in a large baking dish; coat evenly with olive oil and salt and pepper.

Bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Once veggies are tender and lightly caramelized, they are done.

Remove veggies from the oven, and toss with watercress and balsamic vinegar. Serve on its own or with salad, potatoes, or a protein dish.

THE HASHIMOTO’S HEALING DIET:

A 90-DAY PLAN Step One: The Elimination Phase (30 to 60 Days)

By now you should have a pretty good overview of your challenges as well as a number of different approaches to take to resolve them. You might be wondering, What the heck do I do now?

Of course, that depends on where you are. If you are just beginning, then this chapter will give you a good sense of how to get started. You should also still use the A.P.A.R.T. System to determine which proportions of the Tummy Triangle Treatment you need to use.

Basically, it comes down to this: Are you deficient or excess or something in between?

In my clinical experience, I have found that most people who have been recently diagnosed or are new to this approach tend to be on the deficient side. Especially if you have a lot of food sensitivities or digestive issues, that’s a red flag for weakness in the Earth phase.

And remember, you’re conducting an experiment with your body. A journal is an indispensible part of that. You can learn a great deal in this process if you keep notes as you try different things.

So far, I have focused on diets that include animal protein. If you are interested in a vegan or vegetarian approach, the basics still apply (that is, knowing if you are deficient or excess), but we’ll need to adapt a few things and add some herbs and supplements to help you. I have devoted an entire chapter to using a vegan and/or vegetarian approach (see Appendix 2).

If you are familiar with the Autoimmune Paleo diet and have been following it for some time, then you’re in a slightly different place. But the same basic strategies apply. Figure out if you are deficient or excess (and in what way) and focus on that.

The next chapter has important information that I think has been missing from the autoimmune paleo approach up until now. And that is that we must make changes when they are warranted. We can’t just stay on the elimination diet forever, as there are some potentially serious health consequences to doing so.

The rest of this chapter is devoted to those who are just beginning and those who may wish to re-devote themselves to starting over. As you may recall, our theme is Where can I do less? And this first stage of the diet is an in-depth plan for doing so.
