About Us

Lectin free? Plant Paradox? Forbidden foods? I have been in your shoes before, scratching my head wondering what this is all about.  I have been frustrated by the lack of explanations and written support on the web. The lectin free lifestyle has come to be in large part because of the work of Dr. Gundry in his book, ‘The Plant Paradox,’ where he explains the perplexing fact that some plants do not have our best interest in mind. Dr. Gundry packs a great deal into his book -- close to 400 pages worth of information on the subject.  How does one understand and embrace, the lectin free diet, also known as the lectin avoidance diet, the plant paradox diet, or the Gundry diet?  If you want to become an expert and study the primary source material, there is another 300+ pages of material to digest between Dr. Gundry’s website and past work, ‘Dr. Gundry’s Diet Evolution,’ there is a enormous amount of information to take in, and it is fairly technical. I have studied these resources in great detail for the better part of the past two years and what I have learned has changed my life in many ways; I have lost weight, I have more energy, and feel less bloated.  I want to share this outcome with you.  Who am I? I am a practicing engineer with over 10 years in the energy industry.  I am trained as a chemical and biological engineer, and I believe you may find this perspective useful as I help to make sense of this material. My team and I will work to break down the subject for your, making it accessible and actionable.

Simply put, the aim of this website is to inform and help you, so you can best understand the sometimes-confusing lifestyle of the lectin free diet, and make it your own.

This website will help you to better understand the options you have to embrace this lifestyle and begin experiencing the benefits for yourself. The website posts will explain how to modify your pantry and grocery lists, your restaurant selections to make it easy to incorporate lectin free cooking and eating into your routine.  As a regular reader of this site, you will become a lectin avoiding mastermind and will learn from our testing. We will experiment with some lectin free recipes, compare the results using ingredients and substitutions, and report back to you with what we loved and what we didn’t! We intend to catalog all of our experiments to help you bring more variety and excitement to your dinner table while following the principles of the lectin free diet.
