Eat / Healing Leaky Gut:

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!

My hip hurt when I woke up, but it slowly got better during the day. It's been an active day, so the slow cooker was perfect. Took an hour for lunch and took the opportunity to prepare dinner then, so it was just a matter of setting the table when it was time to eat in the evening. Very convenient!


Breakfast

Exotic Smoothie


Snacks

Freshly squeezed grapefruit and orange juice


Lunch

Vegetable soup with smoked turkey

Apple


Snacks

Mangoglass

Ingredients

1 frozen mango

1 fresh mango

Instructions

Allow the frozen mango to thaw slightly, then blend everything in a blender. If it doesn't get the right consistency, put it in the freezer for about 1 hour. Enjoy!

Yum! Simple and so delicious! My youngest daughter wanted more!!


Dinner

Hearty meat stew

Ingredients

800 stewing steak

3 slices of bacon

2 leeks

1 gold beet

6 carrots

3 celery stalks

2 zucchini

10 cloves of garlic

10 black olives

1 lime

1 dl fresh coriander

0.5 dl fresh thyme

2 teaspoons sea salt

1 teaspoon turmeric

2 tsp ginger

5 dl broth

0.5 dl olive oil

Instructions

Fry the bacon hard. Place the stew pieces and bacon in the slow cooker. Peel, chop and cut the vegetables into pieces, add to the slow cooker. Squeeze over the garlic. Add the olives, spices and fresh herbs, as well as the broth and olive oil. Grate over the zest of one lime.

Put the slow cooker on low heat for 8 hours. Enjoy!

A rich and tasty stew with well-balanced flavours.

  • Healing leaky gut: day 4


    It's been a tough day. I already knew it would be difficult to remove the coffee. However, I wasn't prepared for my stomach to start hurting. I'll wait a few more days and if I don't get rid of that problem, I'll remove coconut products from my diet as well. I already know that the first two weeks are the most difficult and that the positive results will come. I'll wait patiently and work in the kitchen in the meantime:-)

  • 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 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.

  • 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.
