The Rotation Diet is beneficial if you have food allergies. Through this system, you “rotate” by eating the foods that you have allergies on for a day, and waiting for another four days before eating them again. Foods that are eaten repetitively may cause allergies to a sensitive skin, that’s why you need to minimize your consumption of them as much as possible.

There are some foods that your body might react to if eaten regularly. The Rotation Diet reduces this effect up the point that you barely notice it all. This program may seem a little confusing at first but you can get the hang of it later on by following menus and instructions on online journals or some guides that you can purchase in a bookstore.

To get started with this program, you will list families of food that you’d like to consume in a day. This list is flexible, you can move an entire group from one day to another, depending on your preferences. For example, if you have two types of meat in one day but the following two days, there’s not a single meat on the menu, you can move one type to either of those days.

The rules are not set in stone, as long as you think you won’t have an allergy by following a certain pattern.

To give you further flexibility, you will also need to list all the “specific foods” that wouldn’t be assigned to a particular day. These are the foods that you have no problems with, and can easily mismatched between any rotation days. Make sure you note the days you’ve eaten them to avoid repetitiveness.
