The mono-elimination diet

Goal: to lose weight or live healthier

Be aware: this is only the goal of this diet, not necessarily its outcome. Results vary from person to person. Consult your doctor or dietician before starting this (or any other) diet.

The Mono-Elimination Diet

The mono-elimination diet is a very simple diet. You take one unhealthy product that you eat regularly and eliminate it from your diet. This product is not replaced with something else, like in the mono-swab diet.

You can compare this diet with other diets on the homepage.

Elimination diet

The idea of an elimination diet is that you exclude products from your diet in order to find out if you react badly to them, like in the GAPS diet. The mono-elimination diet is not so much about a possible bad (allergic) reaction, but more about the unhealthy aspect of the product you eliminate.

Examples of unhealthy products you can eliminate

If you often eat chips, this could be a good product to eliminate. A bowl of crisps contains just over 200 calories. It contains a relatively high saturated fat content in crisps as well.

Do you often eat milk chocolate? This may also be a candidate for elimination. There are about 38 calories in one piece of milk chocolate.

Be aware

Consult your doctor or dietician before starting this (or any) diet.
