Healing leaky gut: day 17

Another day off, but today with a much more energetic son. He got to help with the cooking, which he usually thinks is super fun. He's going to be a chef when he grows up, he says.
I decided to go for a walk when my husband finally came home in the evening, unfortunately I felt my bad hip halfway up the hill. I haven't felt it for a long time and I am always so disappointed when it hurts like that. I hope the pain is gone tomorrow when I wake up.
Breakfast
Blueberry Smoothie

Snacks
Fried apple with cinnamon
Ingredients
1 apple
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp honey
1 pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Cut the apple into small pieces, fry in butter for about 10 minutes, add the cinnamon, honey and salt. Enjoy!

Lunch
Baked salmon with mango guacamole
Snacks
Papaya
Dinner
Vegetable soup with smoked turkey
A variation from last time to get more protein in the meal. I made the soup in the same way as last time and only added smoked turkey meat cut into small pieces. Just as good soup as last time! Enjoy!

Healing leaky gut: day 10
Wow, I can't believe I've already been doing this project for 10 days! Time is running out. Today has been a good day. My gut is calm again and I'm glad I decided to remove all coconut products from my diet. I've started sleeping better, but most importantly, I'm waking up feeling more alert. Soon it will be time to introduce more movement to my schedule as well. But it's important not to change too much at once, or “everything will just pancake out” and it's no fun failing at things you set out to do. It's better to go slowly and take one thing at a time! Building your health from within takes time and there is no quick fix!!
Healing leaky gut: day 24
One big difference since I started this project is that I feel much more energetic now. And that was one of my goals when I started. It's good to see a difference, because it really motivates me to continue eating healthier, even in the future!
This project is not meant to end abruptly after 30 days, I see it rather as a test on many levels and that I really give my body a break from everything that could create inflammation and irritation. Continuation will follow even after the first 30 days, when for example eggs, coffee and chocolate will be back in the diet, if my body allows.
Healing leaky gut: day 18
I know I'm getting bored and monotonous with my breakfasts, but for the past year I've been drinking smoothies every morning and it's hard to let go of the good habit. I feel like it's good for me and I think it's delicious! The difference now is that I don't use dairy, coconut or soy products in my smoothies. Cold tea works just fine as a substitute!
Healing leaky gut: day 23
The kids are more energetic now, but the oldest daughter was home from school today too. Unfortunately, my hibernating means I haven't had time to write the articles about what leaky gut is yet. But anyone waiting for something good...hopefully my articles will be done before I finish these 30 days:-)
Healing leaky gut: days 26 and 27
A tough weekend. It's clearly easiest to keep this eating pattern when the kids are at school or kindergarten. Standing and making pancakes for them, without getting to eat them myself is not a dream scenario, but a weekend tradition...So I struggle on. And I know I've already achieved some of my goals, which is very motivating. I knew there would be tougher days ahead, but I wasn't really prepared for them to come right now.
Healing leaky gut: day 22
Another “stay at home with sick kids-day”, this time with the eldest daughter...Today I made Kale chips and Honey Candied Ginger and Bacon-Apple Burgers with Cranberry Sauce. It's fun to try new creations, especially now that I've prioritised my time in the kitchen. Instead of trying to make the food as quickly as possible, I'm enjoying all the smells, colours and flavours. When was the last time you spent luxurious time in the kitchen?
