Although I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my reintroduction of dairy, I do feel it’s time to pull it back a bit. I suppose everyone goes a little nutty eating a food recently reintroduced. Like every food, except maybe green veggies, we should practice moderation. Too much of even certain good foods, can start to cause issues after a while. Since starting a ketogenic diet, I’ve added organic heavy cream, sheep and goat milk cheeses, organic grass-fed dairy products (sour cream, cream cheese), and grass-fed whey protein powder, back into my diet. For me, it’s been much easier to get all my fat grams in with dairy. Plus, it tastes awesome!
If you’re at a point where you’re thinking of reintroducing dairy products back into your diet, start small, with the addition of goat or sheep milk cheeses or yogurt. Once you’ve successfully added these back into your diet, you can then try adding some cow dairy products. Most people find adding back cow’s milk to be the most difficult, due to the high casein and lactose levels. I, for one, have a very low tolerance to casein. Goat and sheep milk and products are very low in casein, which make them easier to tolerate for many people. And, the probiotics in fermented dairy, make them desirable for those with tummy problems. I’m a firm believer in not strictly limiting healing foods your body tolerates well, once you’ve completed the elimination phase of the AIP. It’s important to get your nutrients from as many foods as possible. This will keep both your mind and body happy.
As always, I wish you good health……and, good food!
