Healing leaky gut: day 3

First day without coffee and it has gone very well! I miss the social aspect of drinking coffee and the taste of course. There is nothing better than a really good espresso or coffee latte, I think. So my goal is to introduce this drink as soon as my 30 day project is over (if my body allows...).


Breakfast

Pumpkin soup with bacon

This was a miserable experience. So bad that I choose not to even publish the recipe. And as I toiled in the kitchen yesterday, just to be able to heat up this soup for breakfast today. On paper it could have been good, but reality proved otherwise. That's what happens when Johanna tries to follow a recipe. There's a reason I don't usually use recipes. And now when I try new ones, I choose them carefully and spice them up a bit extra to make them good, but it still turned out wrong - well, that's how it can go.


Snacks

A big apple and a handful of trailmix - yum!


Lunch

Leftovers since yesterday, Vegetable soup and Citrus Salmon with Guacamole (I ran out of cauliflower yesterday). As good as yesterday, and very filling!

I took the opportunity to start the slow cooker after lunch, so that dinner will also be easy today. I like that. Food that cooks itself! And tastes great too:-)


Dinner

Classic meat stew

Ingredients

1 kg stewing steak

5 carrots

6 celery stalks

1 small onion

5 cloves of garlic

3 bay leaves

10 peppercorns

Broth

Avocado oil

Salt and pepper

Fresh herbs

Instructions

Brown the meat and vegetables, put in the slow cooker for 4 hours on high heat.

Remove the bay leaves, peppercorns and celery stalks, these have done their job now. Pick up the pieces of meat and half of the vegetables, place in a saucepan. Pour the rest into the blender and blend into a smooth soup. Then pour the blender contents into the pot with the meat and vegetables. Bring to the boil and season with salt, pepper and fresh herbs. Done! Enjoy!

The children and husband had mashed potatoes with dinner, I had the stew with baby spinach. It tasted like classic meat stew, the kids and husband enjoyed the food and gave it a 4 (out of 5).

Now I'll prepare breakfast for tomorrow. What it will be, you will see in the next post:-) I can already reveal that it will not be turkey sausage or pumpkin soup with bacon...

  • What is a leaky gut?


    In particular, there are five health conditions that people in the Western world complain about the most right now: digestive issues, obesity, fatigue, depression, low sex drive and/or PMS. Imagine if these health conditions could be cured! How much better many of us would feel then!

    This is my first article of 4 about leaky gut. Among other things, I will answer the questions:

  • Healing leaky gut: day 31-90, structure and evaluation


    What happened after my first 30 strict days? How do I feel now? Have I managed to heal my leaky gut? This is a description of how to reintroduce the eliminated foods and how to create a long-term sustainable diet. It is also a personal evaluation of "Healing leaky gut: days 31-90 (4 Feb-3 April)".

  • Healing leaky gut: day 25


    A nice and sunny day! Starting to feel ready for the next step in my project now. Next week I'm going to start introducing eggs back into my diet, among other things, and I feel like that's going to help me in the kitchen. Especially with breakfast. I'm still lacking good alternatives for breakfast, as I find it very difficult to eat meat for breakfast. It just doesn't work. The only meat that I think is ok to eat early in the morning is my new favourite: herb meatballs:-)

  • What do you do with your 24 hours?


    Each day has 24 hours.

    We all know that. It's not news. To feel good, we need to prioritise between the basic needs we all have and our other interests, so that these 24 hours are enough. The problem we all face, however, is that these 24 hours never seem to be enough. There is so much we must do and there is so much we want do. So what do we do?

  • Healing leaky gut: days 12 and 13


    What a great day it was! We were spontaneously invited to good friends and she is a master in the kitchen! Dinner was a delight as always when she cooks authentic Pakistani food from scratch. The food is not spicy, but tasty. We had a busy Saturday, so leftovers were the basis for lunch. That castle steak never ends...

  • 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:-)
