I expected to get better like my doctor and everyone else who had the surgery were telling me but I wasn’t…I was actually getting worse. I had indigestion almost ALL the time, got heart burn very frequently and generally felt really bloated and very tired and sluggish…
I strongly believe in things happening for a reason and when it’s the right time for them to happen. So a couple months ago my best friend Zoe told me she started the Body Ecology Diet. It’s basically a gluten, sugar and dairy free diet that aims to re-balance the normal health and ecology of the body starting with the digestive system. It’s basically designed to repopulate your gut with friendly bacteria and get your body working the way it’s supposed to. It also helps you develop healthier eating habits like properly combining food in every meal and learning when the best time is to eat certain foods.
One of the problems of this diet though is that in the first phase when your body is cleansing and getting back into balance the foods you can eat and drink are not that limited but it’s been a challenge finding recipes online that help with making daily meals a little bit more imaginative.
So I decided to take matters into my own two hands and will start sharing my own B.E.D. friendly recipes. I’ve already started with the Spicy Tilapia recipe and will continue with more delicious ones in the future as well as revisiting some old favorites!
Here’s to a healthier life!
