This 7-day plan follows the anti-inflammatory pattern with the strongest evidence — Mediterranean-style eating rich in omega-3, polyphenols, fiber, and limited in refined carbs and processed meat. Harvard's anti-inflammatory food list [1] and the Arthritis Foundation's dietary guidance [2] frame the choices, with backing from a 2021 Advances in Nutrition meta-analysis showing Mediterranean-pattern eating lowers CRP and other inflammatory biomarkers vs. control [3]. Useful for joint pain, autoimmune symptom management (with your specialist), and general cardiovascular health. 1,900 kcal/day, fatty fish 3× weekly, berries daily, olive oil and nuts as fats, dark leafy greens at every meal.

Most of the week’s cooking happens on Sunday. Doing the prep up-front means weekday meals come together in 10 minutes or less.
Anti-inflammatory eating is a long game — 2–3 weeks for subjective improvements (bloating, mild stiffness), and 8–12 weeks for measurable inflammatory marker changes such as CRP [2][3]. The plan is the entry point; consistency over months is where benefits accumulate. If you have diagnosed autoimmune disease, this plan complements, but does not replace, the therapy your specialist has prescribed.
