4 Week Gut Protocol Food Lists

Autumn’s nutrition program includes the color coded containers and a tweaked 21 Day Fix food list. She’s removed some foods and included more plant options! You’ll see non-animal proteins on the “red” list which is also new!

Her 4 Week Gut Protocol food list eliminates common digestion disruptors including:

• dairy
• gluten
• alchohol
• artificial sweeteners
• processed soy
• corn

Creating Your 4 Week Gut Protocol Meal Plan

You’ll use color coded portion controlled containers with this program. You’ll also be put into a plan based on your current weight and goals.

If you’ve followed a 21 Day Fix meal plan, this will be familiar to you!

With that said, you will need to make changes and honor the 4 Week Gut Protocol food lists compared to the 21 Day Fix.

Each week may change as well — which is all outlined in the program.
