🌱 Day 1 — My Healthy Gut Journey
Date: November 19, 2025
Breakfast (9:30 AM):
Cucumber, lemon, and honey shake with soaked chia seeds. 🌿
Refreshing, light, and a gentle start for my gut. Chia adds fiber and omega-3s to support digestion and keep me full until lunch.
Lunch (12:00 NN):
Garlic fried rice and Chicken Adobo
I substituted soy sauce with coco aminos and it tastes amazing! Loving how simple swaps with natural ingredients can still bring big flavor.
Snack (3:30 PM):
Watermelon, pineapple, and black grapes shake and peanut butter toast.
I froze the watermelon and pineapple so I didn’t need ice. It’s so refreshing! Perfect for tropical afternoons and gentle on my digestion.
Dinner (7:00 PM):
Chicken and rice from Jollibee 🍗😂
My roommate brought this from a party — a little indulgence, but it’s all part of life and learning balance.
Evening (8:30 PM):
Took my antidepressant medication 💊
Following my prescribed routine carefully, because mental health is as important as gut health.
Reflections:
Day 1 felt exciting and manageable. I’m learning how to listen to my body, enjoy natural flavors, and stay mindful of my anti-bloating 14-hour fasting window. Small steps, one meal at a time, toward a healthier gut and a calmer mind.
