Autumn’s 4 Week Gut Protocol is designed to help you maximize your digestion and improve your gut health, but the meal prep can be tough! Below, you’ll find a sample 4 Week Gut Protocol meal plan, as well as, recipes and a sample food list.

Of course, these 4 Week Gut Protocol recipes don’t replace the whole program. If you haven’t purchased it already, you may like our 4 Week Gut Protocol Review, or you can also get the nutrition program here!

4 Week Gut Protocol Food Lists

Autumn’s nutrition program includes the color coded containers and a tweaked 21 Day Fix food list. She’s removed some foods and included more plant options! You’ll see non-animal proteins on the “red” list which is also new!

Her 4 Week Gut Protocol food list eliminates common digestion disruptors including:

• dairy
• gluten
• alchohol
• artificial sweeteners
• processed soy
• corn

4 Week Gut Protocol Supplements

The 3 supplements are optional but recommended. The 4 Week Gut Protocol supplements are: vegan Shakeology, Beachbody Optimize, and Revitalize.

Shakeology is a nutrient-dense shake designed to help support your digestion system.* Get a sampler of vegan flavors here.

Creating Your 4 Week Gut Protocol Meal Plan

You’ll use color coded portion controlled containers with this program. You’ll also be put into a plan based on your current weight and goals.

If you’ve followed a 21 Day Fix meal plan, this will be familiar to you!

With that said, you will need to make changes and honor the 4 Week Gut Protocol food lists compared to the 21 Day Fix.

Each week may change as well — which is all outlined in the program.
