Last February, I began a healing diet to heal my inflamed gut. I’ve been on it for five months now. My gut is definitely much better! I no longer have a constant burning stomach, horrible acid reflux, diarrhea, and intense pain. The only symptom I still deal with once in a while is gut pain, but it is far less than before.

About two years ago, I took some dresses down from my closet because I didn’t fit in them anymore. I was a few pounds over what I would like to be, and it was sure a struggle to get them off! Through this healing diet, I have lost weight. I am back to where I was probably ten or so years ago. I tried on those dresses I had in my give away pile. They all fit! I shared on my social media that one of them had short sleeves (as you can see above) and since this is the first time I have noticed my upper arms becoming wrinkled, I thought I wouldn’t wear it anymore. But after trying it on, I decided I definitely wanted to wear it. It’s well made and fits me great now! Wrinkled skin is part of aging.

Some women have asked how I have lost weight on my healing diet. I have shared it all on my Instagram, but I decided to put it all in a post for those who are interested. I can tell you, I tried for years to lose these extra pounds (about five or so) and just couldn’t do it. But, I did it finally! I am sure it can help any of you who struggle with weight and want to become healthier too. Since it has a lot of healthy fats and proteins, I am rarely hungry between meals.

The first thing I have when I wake up is a big mug of my healing broth soup. I add a tablespoon of butter into it. After an hour or so, I have a large protein shake. I put in one half cup of pure coconut milk (no guar added), two cups of organic frozen blueberries (from Costco),  and a big scoop of beef broth protein powder. I use one called Pure Protein or this one from Amazon. This makes two large mugs full of protein shakes. I have one right after making it and the other one a few hours later.

Around noon or so, I have a steak with avocado or two eggs with avocado. I buy one steak a week for me, and it lasts for two meals. I eat organic, pastured eggs with a lot of avocado the other days.

Around 4:00 pm, I have another big mug of my healing broth soup with a tablespoon of butter. I don’t eat anything else. Before beginning this diet, food would come up into my throat that tasted like vomit. It was disgusting! It would happen even if I just had a yam for dinner. I was desperate to find healing. I am so thankful to have found this healing diet.

I also take good digestive enzymes after lunch and good probiotics in the morning. “Restoring Your Digestive Health” by Jordan Rubin and Joseph Brasco is a great book to read. I found the recipe for the healing broth in it and what to eat exactly with my condition. Some of you could have far more variety than I do if your gut is healthy. I haven’t added anything else to my diet yet. They encourage you to wait up to six months after having no symptoms to add other foods. I actually could live on this diet the rest of my life! It will be nice to finally try a few new things, however. I also walk for 40 minutes a day.

Feel free to ask my any comments in the comment section. I know a few people who have been trying this and having great success too. Remember, the gut is where health begins and ends. What we eat makes a huge impact upon how healthy we are.

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
