THE LECTIN-FREE DIET COOKBOOK: Discover Lectin-Free recipes To help You Lose Weight And Heal Gut
Delicious And Healthy Lectin-Free Diet Recipes
Lectins are proteins that bind to other carbohydrates. They've been referred to as "anti-nutrients" because they aren't digestible in the human gastrointestinal tract, and could potentially prevent your body from absorbing key minerals like calcium, iron, phosphorus and zinc. Lectins also attach to the cells lining your intestines and can stay there for a fairly long period. Because of this, lectins have the potential to cause an autoimmune response. On this diet, it all comes down to eliminating foods that contain lectins. Some people may dive right into a lectin-free diet cold turkey, but to follow Gundry’s official plan, you’ll progress through three phases.
All plants contain lectins, as do grain- and soy-fed animals, according to a 2019 review in Food and Chemical Toxicology . In nature, lectins serve as a kind of protective measure for plants, as they can be toxic to insects and act as a natural insecticide, per a 2022 review in the Glycoconjugate Journal . And since lectins aren't digestible, it would seem that foods containing lectins would also be unappealing to consumers like animals and humans. Clearly this isn't the case, as many of the foods we regularly eat contain lectins.

About the author
Maya Walker
70 books5 followersMaya Walker doodles flowers in red ink on cream colored paper and stares at blank documents for hours before writing a word. She dreams of dark alleyways and thunderstorms blooming soaked umbrellas while curled in uncomfortable positions with her few stuffed animals. Maya is a writer, a reader, a chef, an artist, a violinist, a mandolinist, and many more things she cannot explain. You can find Maya writing on the red chair in the corner of her room or playing with her bunny, Kiki.
