When 4-Week Gut Protocol came out I thought, “I already eat pretty clean and I watch my macros” so of course I’ll try this, but I wasn’t necessarily thinking it would make much of a difference.
But here’s the thing, every time I actually dial in to a nutrition plan I realize something I was ignoring about how I eat and how it’s affecting my mood, weight, energy, and so on. That was definitely the case with 4-Week Gut Protocol.
I had never considered myself to be someone with food sensitivities. That’s probably because “food sensitivities” meant something formal to me like abdominal pain or Dr. Diagnosis.
I quickly realized after starting the program how my skin looked, how I felt when I woke up, and how inflamed my face and stomach looked day-to-day had actually been indicating there were foods bothering my system. Foods like gluten, sugar, and too much red meat. It was a physical representation of not liking something I was eating.
My husband and I started Gut Protocol on a Monday and did a bit of prep the day before. With this program you need to figure out what’s on your food lists and you need to break down your macros a bit further than with the traditional Portion Fix program.
Proteins and Carbs have to be broken down further than just protein and carbs. Half your protein needs to be plant-based for instance.
You take a probiotic and digestive enzyme that helps you break down your food and absorb more of the nutrients. I am super sensitive to vitamins, probiotics, and pills in general so I was pleasantly surprised to find I had zero nausea with these supplements.
You drink Vegan Shakeology, take your probiotic and enzymes, and follow the meal plan. After a week I could tell I was less inflamed and starting to see my stomach look leaner. Just cutting sugar out will do all that, but I also felt proud of what I was eating and how I was taking care of myself. My skin is clearer when I follow this plan and I am always more mentally focused when I cut processed foods from my diet.
Adding the specific workout program was awesome. It’s called 4 Weeks for Everybody and it’s no impact. YES! No impact. No jumping and torturing yourself. The workouts are 30 minutes and they fly by. Plus, there are cycle workouts with amazing music and the best motivation – but you always get that with Autumn.
This program is perfect for someone who would like to reset their gut and start on a no impact, enjoyable fitness program. Do it for 30 days and you’ll be floored by your results. If you follow the meal plans you should see pounds lost from both fat loss, but also overall inflammation! You’ll gain strength, while getting your food in check.
If you’ve been struggling with bloating, gas, inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, or just don’t know where to start on cleaning up your diet try 4-Week Gut Protocol and 4 Weeks for Everybody. Let me share the specifics of the program here!
