7. Treatment: Diet
Most experts recommend a high protein diet for this condition. Protein helps speed up the metabolism. The paleo diet is often effective because it places a focus on lean meats and fish. A gluten-free diet may also help symptoms. Foods to avoid include soy, nuts and seeds, starchy plants like sweet potatoes, some fruits, vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, spinach, and dairy and processed foods.
