Getting started on the diet

• Diet-Specific Recipes forum: http://www.kickas.org/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=20&page=1
• Food list for Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD), a similar diet to the NSD: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_a-c.htm - I have noted some interesting differences. For instance their food list allows peas, peanuts, lentils/beans - all of which are not ok with me (others on the NSD also find these unsafe). Meanwhile it bans some things which I find to be ok such as aloe, noni, seaweed, stevia, tofu, tomato puree.
