Food selections are individual and situational. Identifying foods that most effectively fuel the activities that are most meaningful to us is a worthwhile pursuit and can be achieved by applying a little discipline and using the right approach.
- Elimination of foods can be done simultaneously or in sequence, but the key is to permit at least a week (ideally 2-3 weeks) of elimination to give time for the body to readjust to being without the food type.
- Consider careful food journaling, anticipating a 3-5 day delay between consuming a dietary component before experiencing associated symptoms. This can be especially helpful when adding foods back after elimination.
