BONE BROTH DIET
It’s me Andie, this issue, the creators of 1905 and
Madre Foods inspired me last month to step out and
try hard things. They didn’t ask me to do this directly,
but their own presence made me feel more
confident to do more of my own thing. Health and
wellness is something that is near and dear to my
heart and mind. I’ve spent many years ignoring
my own health and needs and am just happy to be
back on the path to wellness in all aspects.
It’s because of this that I was very excited
to work with Madre Foods on sampling their bone
broth diet plan. Think of it more as a reset than a
diet, it’s not depriving in anyway. For me food can
be an easy escape from the day to day, the stress,
the feelings, the poor self-care. All of those things
can make me use food in a way that isn’t just for
fueling my body, for me resets like this diet are so
important not only for my body but for my mind. It
helps me get some perspective on areas that I need
to give more attention or things I should just keep
out of my house for awhile.
This bone broth diet helped me get some clarity
and honestly made my body feel great, overall
just better functioning and clear. Madre Foods has an
awesome selection of broths. Some of my favorites
were; Marrow Bone Broth, Super Greens, Mushroom,
and Chicken Feet. But Duck Chai, Oxtail
and Sea were just as yummy too. Having the variety
was key!
The base of this diet is including a combination
of, protein, fruits, vegetables, and fats at every meal,
with a few days of only consuming bone broth.
Don’t worry, bone broth is nutrient dense with good
fats, it’s actually filling, soothing and satisfying.
I found that making sure I could have bone
broth as a snack in the afternoon around 3-4pm
was key to me feeling great overall. I personally
do so much better consuming warm, grounding
broth over cold juices or smoothies - it’s all a balance
though!
As spring comes and 2018 moves forward I’d
encourage you to stop and think about your own
health and needs, if your someone dealing with high
stress or some food intolerance issues, a bone broth
diet could be really great for trying to get all of that
back on track. So much of our health starts in our
guts and bone broth is such a great elixir for them!
