When I first embarked on a low-carb journey in hopes of healing my gut, I kept away from most fruit, vegetables, and berries. Basically any high-fiber plant-based food. It was hard emotionally to give up fresh produce. But each time I tried to introduce it back into my diet, my gut would flare-up to remind me why I eat the way I eat.
Now, years into this WOE, I am able to eat more fresh produce without major stomach upset. I introduce one item at a time and, once I get a green light from my body, I use it abundantly and creatively in many meals.
Kiwi, welcome back to my life! You’ve been missed!
