The dream of eating satisfying meals-even on a budget-controlling weight and feeling great has now become a reality. As you build momentum for Primal eating, you'll find that you won't even miss the bland, boring, low-fat foods that previously were the central focus of your diet. How can you argue with a menu that includes Roasted Leg of Lamb with Herbs and Garlic, Salmon Chowder with Coconut Milk, Tomatoes Stuffed with Ground Bison and Eggs, and Baked Chocolate Custard?
You could take a look at The Primal Blueprint Cookbook. It has some good recipes in it and some interesting ideas. I never really thought of things like using grated cauliflower in place of rice in my meals, I haven't tried it yet but supposedly it has a similar consistency and taste. If you ever go to Mark's Daily Apple he also has some free e-books for cooking with recipes that users submit.
That depends on your concept of healthy. I'll give you mine.
I use a Primal diet, because it is low-carb and gluten-free, but there's a positive focus on things I can eat instead.
Gluten has been linked to some odd symptoms. It's possible it has some tie to the mystery illness. Or she could try Whole30, which is a bit drastic, but I hear that many people have found it helpful to identify unknown food allergies. Essentially you eliminate several common allergens from your food for 30 days. After that, you add them back one at a time, and see what causes problems.
More details here:
The Primal Blueprint -- Looks like a typical diet book, with lots of unlikely sounding claims, but turned out to be well researched.
Cookbooks:
This is probably the best one for a beginner, and it does include nutrition data:
Primal Blueprint Quick and Easy Meals -- Simplest recipes of these three.
These do not contain nutrition details, but the recipes are nearly all relatively low carb:
The Primal Blueprint Cookbook -- Good recipes, but requires some cooking skill.
Paleo Comfort Foods -- Bigger book with more recipies. Has some really good low-carb alternatives to desserts or typical comfort foods.
All of those have great pictures and reasonable instructions. Some of the ingredients are a bit odd.
