Will my gut be harder to heal later if I don't act now?Explore your meal plan options - is it required? Can you reduce the number of meals you are paying for?Can still make good choices in the dining hall regardless of the cooking oilResearch protein options within the dining hallHow Stacy made "healthier choices" while in the dormSarah suggests getting a mini fridge and microwave for her room - it is possible to follow the AIP with easy options from a grocery store and basic tools in your dorm roomThere would certainly be a learning curve to navigating AIP from a dorm room, but it is certainly possibleRead labels and evaluate optionsCheck with your dining hall on how accommodating they are with food allergiesYou may be able to see a huge improvement in your health from eliminating the highly inflammatory foods, and then following a full AIP later when possiblePlay with reintroduction to see what it is your body is reacting toThe longer the body is in an inflammatory pattern the harder it is to break out of the patternThere are compelling reasons to put in some efforts - and breaking your approach into pieces now will be hugely beneficial over the longterm Making progress towards the endpoint in a sustainable way is what matters more than jumping into a Paleo approach full steam aheadDo the best you can now, acknowledge that there will be limitations along the wayStock up on the foods that work well for youSarah's approach to Paleo at college
