I didn’t even go that overboard and I can feel my digestive system being a bit of a wreck.
Eating foods that I normally don’t eat just send me out of whack for a few days.
I had created this 2-3 day reset for myself just to bounce back the digestive system, and then my wife suggested that I email it out (not put it on Youtube since I don’t want the whole world to see it).
So, here goes, pretty straightforward (but note it is low calorie, so just be forewarned)
Day 1 Looks like This:
– Minimal Coffee just to be a bit easier on the gut, perhaps 1/2 cup or so
– Morning Meal – 1 Cup Bone Broth with 1 Tbsp Ghee + 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil + 1 Tsp Turmeric + Dash of Black Pepper
– 5-6 Hours Later – Lunch Meal: 1/4 Cup Hemp Hearts, 2 Tbsp Flax Meal, 1 Tbsp Chia, 1/2 Cup Coconut Milk or Almond Milk – Heat it up in Saucepan or Microwave and make into an Oatmeal type dish (sweeten with Stevia or Monkfruit) – I would add some form of lean protein on the side (fish, chicken, even a shake if you wish). Aim for about 35-40g protein with this meal.
2 Hours After Lunch – Take 2x SEED Probiotics (after digestion and before next meal) – These are the probiotics that have the capsules inside of the capsules, so really cool technology to help with delivery of the probiotics into the right regions) Here is a 20% Off Code – AFL – Use This Link to Claim that Discount
– 1 Hour Before Dinner – 1oz Hazelnuts (soluble fiber content), Cucumber/Celery for Dipping in 1/4 Cup Tahini or Hummus (just make sure the hummus you get does not have added Canola or Soy Oil, aim for real olive oil)
– Dinner Time – This is straight from my gut health reset plan. Such a great meal
- 1 cup Spaghetti Squash or 1 cup Chopped Zucchini
- ¼ cup chopped Cremini Mushrooms
- 8 stalks Asparagus
- Optional: ¼ Raw Oats (this is optional, but vey powerful beta glucans that have a strong gut effect)
- Optional: 8oz Chicken/fish (make sure it’s lean)
- 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Please Stop Eating By 6:30pm
Day 2 – Fasting Until Mid Afternoon (20 Hours)
– Coffee and tea OK
– 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar or Capsules
– Electrolytes During Fast
Recommended – Small Cup of Cinnamon Tea 30 Mins Before Breaking the Fast along with 2x SEED Probiotic Capsules (this is called a daily Synbiotic because it has both prebiotics and probiotics – Super Cool technology – 20% Off with code AFL right here
Breaking Fast: 4oz Chicken, Fish, Shrimp, or Egg Whites (usually not a big egg white person, but here they’re okay), 1 Cup Bone Broth
2 Hours Later (I know it seems like a long time) DINNER:
– Baby Kale or Other Greens
– 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
– Optional 1/4 Cup Olives
– Optional 1/4 Cup Mushrooms
– Optional 1/3 Cup Artichoke Hearts
– 1/4 Cup Hemp Hearts on Salad
– 1oz Sheep Feta or Pecorino Romano (yep, it actually has probiotic properties)
– 6oz of Chicken Breast or Lean Steak on this salad if your gut feels ready for it, you can also use smoked salmon (lox) and make it more Mediterranean.
Please Stop Eating by 6:30PM Again
If you feel like you need another day at this, you can do one more day of following ‘Day 2,’ but I do not want you going beyond that since this is so low calorie.
I would also recommend that you continue having this dinner meal from Day 2 for a few more days along with your more regular diet as it is a very awesome and diverse meal that I think you will enjoy.
Would also recommend that you continue to take SEED at 1-2x capsules per day on an empty stomach 30ish minutes or so before food. It’s a good practice and I think you will like it’s effect.
It may not be a bad idea to add in some magnesium glycinate this time of year too to help get some sleep during the crazy holiday time. I know my sleep always gets a little wonky this time of year.
I sure hope that this plan gives you a reset that you can use in between various holiday outings, etc. I wrapped it up yesterday and definitely feel better!
See you tomorrow!
