Eat / Healing Leaky Gut:

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.

Stay tuned! :-)

Lunch

Spaghetti and meat sauce


Dinner

Meatballs and squash pasta

Ingredients

Meatballs

800 gr minced beef

¼ teaspoon sea salt

½ dl fresh oregano or rosemary and basil

Squash pasta

1 kg summer squash or zucchini

1 tbsp sea salt

15 cloves of garlic

3 dl black olives

1 pkt bacon

2 dl fresh basil

Olive oil

Instructions

Cut the squash or zucchini into very thin slices. Place on paper towels and salt. Leave for about 60 minutes.

Mix minced meat with salt and fresh herbs. Roll into meatballs. Place in an ovenproof tray, place in the oven at 200 degrees, about 15 minutes.

Fry the bacon until crispy. Leave to cool. Cut into small pieces.

Rinse the squash or zucchini in cold water. Dry it with paper towels. Squeeze garlic cloves in a frying pan with oil. Fry briefly before adding the squash or zucchini. Fry for about 8 minutes until al dente. Add the chopped olives, bacon and basil. Enjoy!

So much tastier than regular pasta and it's really fun to work with colors and new flavors in the kitchen. The kids liked the meatballs, but preferred the regular gluten-free pasta to the squash pasta:-)

  • Healing leaky gut: day 28

    I decided to reintroduce eggs into my diet today, as we will be away for the weekend and I will not have access to a kitchen. My plan is to prepare food at home and bring at least for breakfast and snacks, and possibly also for lunch. Eggs are super good to bring and easy to prepare.

  • 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 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 favorite: herb meatballs:-)

  • 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: 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 prioritized my time in the kitchen. Instead of trying to make the food as quickly as possible, I'm enjoying all the smells, colors and flavors. When was the last time you spent luxurious time in the kitchen?

  • Healing leaky gut: day 21

    My older kids were off from school. My son stayed with me all day. I avoided the kitchen and tried to spend as much time as possible with him instead. He was still not fully recovered from his cold, so it was a quiet "Mommy Day" of indoor play.
