Rotation Diets - an excerpt from The Super Allergy Girl - Allergy & Celiac Cookbook

 

“A rotation diet and a rotary diet is basically some plan or format for eating your foods such that you are not eating the same foods every day or eating too much of a food on a given day.  Rotary diets involve eating one food per meal and rotating the foods until you run out of foods in which case you start over.  This type of diet is hard for many consumers to adhere to because it is counter to how we are used to eating.  In a rotary diet, for example on day one, we could pick one of our foods, say potatoes, and eat that for breakfast.  That is the only food that we would eat for breakfast.  Then, we would have a different food for lunch, say beef, and we would only eat beef for lunch.   

We would follow the same pattern until we  have finished eating for the day.  A rotation diet is different from a rotary diet in that you set up your rotation days of different foods and you eat from the foods available for the day.  Typically rotation diets are done for four or more days.  The wider your array of foods, the longer and wider your rotation diet can be."
