Best path I found was to take 2 weeks and go down to one ingredient. Only eat that single thing for 2 weeks. This establishes a clear baseline. Then add ingredients in one by one to see how your body reacts. Bottoms up experience-based diet.

Different strokes for different folks…what may work for one person doesn’t mean it will work for others.
That’s what I hear to be BRD approach. Maybe when the kids are older I will find that discipline. Cooking for them pushes my self restrain to the limits 😆

agree
Yup. Practicing this made me realize what I could do without. My fiancé and I did a reset end of last year. Our base was beans. You can do so much with beans. I really love sweets so she started making chocolate chip brownies out of beans. I think a reset from time to time is healthy
I think Buddhists eat one meal a day, strictly before noon. Most monks go around for alms and only eat whatever is given. As per them, expectation of certain kind of food is a hindrance to attaining peace. Buddhists eat meat but certainly they don’t kill any being that neurally emulates pain.
This is generally approach that’s actually backed by various doctors (usually not just one ingredient though, and for about 4 weeks)
Yes
The truth is, the science is pretty clear in that we need our bodies to juggle back and forth between fasting/repair and nourishment/growth phases. I think the ultimate way forward will end up being a retreat to eating habits of less civilized days… less about what you eat and more about how you eat.
In which case would a western medicine practicing doctor suggest that? You go to a doctor when you’re sick, rebuilding ones gut health… always soup.. nothing else.. from there you build.
For 4 weeks thats like training the gut brain to return to the “sickness” every time when the ingredient is eaten. Wouldn’t follow my logic from a few yrs ago. Every longer standing and healthier healing approaches like TCM Ayurveda etc will tell you differently. Unless I missed something big in that area…
I was in a physician-led program. Led to better sleep, energy during the day, and some weight loss.
Thats awesome that you got so many positive things out the program . I went the route of diet change, sports and TCM and any sort of holistic things I was able to find at the time. To me most physicians are nuts if they normalise it for themselves that cutting into humans is something that isn’t totally insane. But I also see that theres a new wave that have the possibility to see beyond. Just not enough yet. 🤷🏻♀️
What did you start with? Calzones?
