Taking care of your gut is important. This unique and innovative cookbook shows you how to eat a balanced and healthy diet that keeps your digestive system happy. It introduces a whole new way of eating with a plan developed at Grayshott Spa, one of the world’s leading health spas. By focusing on digestive health as a route to true health, the Grayshott Plan helps to boost your energy and rebalance weight safely through a nutrient-rich diet that provides everything you need to face the demands of modern life. The Plan dispels the misguided notion of detoxifying through Spartan, punitive regimes and instead focuses on regaining good health by eating the right foods to aid the body’s natural detoxification. Recommending quality grass-fed red meats, fish, eggs, fermented foods, butter, avocado, and organic vegetables, it’s a sensible and satisfying approach to food that brings you back to feeling great. Packed full of information and meal plans for a short-term course to rest and repair your digestive tract, the book also contains 100 delicious meals split into breakfasts, soups, main meals, vegetable sides, salads and special occasions and includes delicious, satisfying and nourishing meals such as baked eggs with tomatoes, peppers and chorizo; porchetta with plum and fig chutney; grilled sole fillets marinated in ginger and tangerine; crayfish cakes with coconut and mango, and many more!
