Quick question. I know to stay away from carbs, sugars, gluten, etc. I also see in the site posts for following the Paleo diet.
SOOOO, my question is...I saw a recipe for brownies on the Paleo diet, using coconut flour, honey, and other ingredients. Does that mean I can make it and eat it?
Or are you forced to stay away from the desserts on these different diets? I don't mean to get everyone thinking about the wrong foods, just don't know the answer otherwise.

honey is a sugar. others might know tho.

I would be very careful. You can still get yeast from those foods.
One thing that many get in trouble with is that many paleo and AIP diets are high in oxalates... some are high in salicylates.
If you go high oxalate, you can end up really throwing your body off. I am still recovering from my dietary mistakes that began nearly 5 years ago.

I knew honey was a sugar, but was hoping since it wasn't refined, white sugar it would be better.
I am going to have to look into oxalates. I really don't have any information or knowledge on that or salicylates.
So instead of following those diets, basically it is better to just stick to meats and vegetables?

Yes, that is a good plan. I'll bring you some links to look at.
Much of the info on oxalates is not correct. Look for the work of Susan Owens. Her work can be trusted.
You may not have any trouble with salicylates.. but it's important to know .. one way or the other. If you can take aspirin, you may be OK.
