No. If you’ve been on the diet for more than 6 months are are unable to reintroduce foods, most likely something else is going on. Mold, bacteria, virus, environment. Something else is bothering you or has caused a change in your immune system. If you are on the Lion Diet, and you test and have …

How Do I Reintroduce Foods?
The foods that are the least likely to give autoimmune or mood flare ups on the diet include wild carnivorous fish like wild salmon, wild mackerel, tuna, and honey. Make absolutely sure the fish is wild and not farmer (even organic farmed needs to be avoided). These foods seem to be tolerated fairly easily for …
Does a High Protein Diet cause Kidney Disease?
This is a health myth. There were a couple studies long ago that seemed to suggest that high protein could be related to kidney problems, but have since been proven to be inaccurate.

Can I Include Caffeine In The Diet?
If you’re suffering from a mood or sleep disorder, I would seriously recommend cutting caffeine out completely. I would recommend cutting caffeine for anyone regardless of health problems.

Switch from coffee/espresso/tea to caffeine …
Can I Drink Alcohol?
I didn’t drink alcohol for the first 8 months because I was trying to rule out all possible triggers for my autoimmune and mood disorder. I now know I do not react to vodka or bourbon or silver tequila (other than the obvious hangover and potential GABA crash which can impact mood). Any type of spirit that has no ingredients added …
Do You Have Any ‘Go To’ Snacks?

Crunchy beef shreds are also great and simple. Pressure cook some cheap meat …
What About Wild Ruminants? Can I Eat Those?
Yes! Beef is often going to be the best for most people due to availability, but all ruminant animals like bison, elk, deer, lamb, goat, mutton, antelope, etc. are great options! (one animal: rabbit, often comes up but generally the meat from larger animals digest better and aids in recovery more) These other ruminant animals …

Where Can I Find Liver?

Why Should I Avoid Citric Acid?
The primary reason to avoid citric acid while on the Lion Diet is to avoid adverse reactions. When you are in good health and your gut is working as it should (no leakiness) citric acid becomes less of an issue. But if you are in recovery mode something as seemingly insignificant as citric acid can …
