Navigating AIP Diet at Brazilian Churrascarias: Your Survival Guide with MM Food

Brazilian churrascarias offer a carnivore’s paradise with their endless skewers of succulent meats, but for those following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet, dining here can feel like a culinary minefield. Hidden marinades, cross-contamination risks, and language barriers often leave AIP diners anxious. With the MM Food app, you can savor the churrascaria experience safely and confidently. Here’s how.

The AIP Challenge at Churrascarias

The AIP diet eliminates grains, dairy, nightshades, legumes, and additives to reduce inflammation. Traditional Brazilian churrascaria meats are seasoned with garlic, paprika, or wine—all problematic for AIP. Even "plain" cuts may be cooked on shared grills, risking cross-contact with forbidden ingredients.

How MM Food Saves the Day

1. Instant Menu Translation: Use the app to scan or upload the menu and translate it into your native language. No more guessing what "picanha na brasa" means!
2. AI-Powered Filtering: Input your AIP restrictions, and the app highlights safe options. For example, it’ll flag frango (chicken) marinated in dairy or linguiça (sausage) containing paprika.
3. Custom Requests: Need plain grilled meat? The app generates a pre-translated request to show staff: "Sem temperos, por favor. Apenas sal e óleo permitidos." (No seasonings, please. Only salt and oil allowed.)

AIP-Friendly Picks at Churrascarias

• Pura carne assada (Plain roasted beef)
• Cordeiro sem molho (Lamb without sauce)
• Fraldinha grelhada (Grilled flank steak)

Avoid costela (ribs) often rubbed with spice blends and queijo coalho (grilled cheese) served as an appetizer.

Pro Tips

• Communicate early: Use the app to explain your dietary needs to waitstaff.
• Double-check sides: Even salads may contain seeds or dressings. Scan descriptions using MM Food’s ingredient analyzer.
