Food Groups

Food Groups
Are you ready to get started? I hope so! Another key to gut healing is simplifying its workload. The more variety of food you eat, the harder your gut has to work. For the next two weeks, it’s best to eat the same foods repeatedly. I have a list of sample foods in each category, so pick something you like. You won’t need a menu. Yes, it’s boring. But that’s the whole idea. The goal is to give your gut a rest so it can heal and reset your fructose metabolism. Once you start feeling better and can fast for longer periods of time, you can start adding other foods back into your diet, one at a time. Eventually, you’ll have a variety of foods that you and your microbiome will love. Then, your mitochondria will be happy.
One of the biggest challenges is retraining the brain after years of ingrained habits. If you commit to eliminating a food group, old habits won’t be as tempting. Yes, elimination diets are boring, but the boredom is only temporary—like when you sprain your ankle and have to stay off of it until it heals. Pick your favorite food and enjoy it for the next two weeks.
