This week's meal plan is a little different than usual. You may remember that over the summer I did the Gut Thrive program by Christa Orecchio, with great results! One part of the program included a four day bone broth fast that included bone broth, green juice, coconut water, and a zucchini based soup called Bieler's Broth. I felt great during that week, so I've decided to repeat it. The calories are lower than my normal intake (closer to 1200, instead of my usual 1800-2000), so I'll be scaling back my exercise and focusing on walking instead of strength training this week. The goal is to give my digestion some TLC after a month of a lot of dietary aberrations from my usual routine! I was also fortunate enough to recently receive some Wunder Bones bone broth and am eager to give it a try. I've been keeping broth out of my diet for several weeks now in efforts to keep my histamine intake down and want to test out my tolerance! I'll be using it as my protein source this week, and I've got my fingers crossed that all goes well!
Here's what I'll be consuming each day:
- 12 oz bone broth with 1 tsp coconut oil and 1 scoop Vital Proteins collagen peptides
- 1 bottle Evolution Fresh Essential Greens with Lime
- 12 oz bone broth with 1 tsp coconut oil and 1 scoop Vital Proteins collagen peptides
- 16 oz Bieler's broth (blended zucchini, parsley, green onion soup)
- Evolution Fresh Sweet Greens with Lemon
- 12 oz bone broth with 1 tsp ghee and 1 scoop Vital Proteins collagen peptides
- Homemade beet, ginger, cilantro, parsley flatbread
- 16 oz coconut water
- 1 cup organic berries
- Optional: 1 organic pink lady apple, 2 tbsp coconut butter
As always, I'll be intuitive with how I'm feeling. If I need to eat more, then I will! Last time I was on a specific protocol as part of a pathogen purge, but this time, I'm doing it mostly to break the habit of all the "healthy junk food" I've been eating lately :) We can all use a little sugar detox reset from time to time!
Have a great week!
