Gastroparesis, a condition in which the stomach digests food too slowly or not at all, can develop as a side effect of diabetes, digestive surgery, cancer treatments, eating disorders, endocrine or neurological problems or certain medications. If you have gastroparesis, your doctor will place you on a diet that doesn't strain your digestive system.A smoothie appropriate for the full liquid phase of the gastroparesis diet is not the same as one you may get from a restaurant, juice bar or coffee shop. These smoothies should consist primarily of fluid and yogurt. The yogurt can be fruit-flavored, made from regular or plant milk, sugar-free, frozen or in the form of kefir, but it cannot contain chunks of fruit or ingredients like granola. Use milk, plant milk, water or juice as the fluid. For additional flavor, add extracts such as vanilla or almond extract, fruit syrup, flavored gelatin powder or pudding mix. To give the smoothie a thicker consistency, you can blend the mixture with ice or with frozen, very ripe bananas.

As mentioned above, you can add any protein powder of choice. I personally like to add collagen and I wanted to explain why (and what the health benefits are). So before we get to the Banana Berry Smoothie recipe, here are a few benefits of the amino-acids found in collagen and why one might want to add this supplement to their diet.The short chain amino acids found in collagen peptides are easy to digest, highly-bioavailable (meaning your body can make full use of them), and they're a rich source of important amino acids such as glycine, proline, and glutamine. These amino acids are necessary for detoxification, immune function, healthy digestion, bone health, skin health as well as growth and repair of tissue, tendons, joints and muscles. Promotes healthy skin, hair, and nails. Collagen is a building block for the largest organ of the body, your skin. As we age collagen production naturally decreases, causing wrinkles and thinning skin. Supplementing with collagen daily can improve skin hydration, fine lines, and overall appearance of skin. It also supports the growth of hair and nails. Maintains a healthy gut barrier and supports good digestion. Glutamine and glycine, two amino acids abundant in collagen, are essential for healthy digestion. Glutamine is the preferred fuel for cellular reproduction in the gut, and it supports the healing and growth of new cells and tissues that make up the intestinal tract. Glycine contributes to the production of bile salts which help to digest fat and promote adequate gastric secretion in the stomach, necessary for the breakdown of food. Enhances the immune system. Glutamine, found in collagen, is a key amino acid for a healthy and strong immune system due to its involvement in several immune functions. Glutamine also speeds healing following an injury, stress, surgery, and most major illnesses thanks to its involvement in cellular turnover, cell repair, and the stimulation of immune cells. Improves joint and bone health. Collagen is essential for maintaining and building cartilage. Your body can produce its own collagen with proper hydration and nutrition; however, as you age your ability to produce the collagen essential for supple cartilage decreases, consequently increasing your likelihood of developing osteoarthritis or pain caused by bone rubbing on bone. Supplementing with collagen is an easy way to support joint health by providing the body with the collagen it needs to build and maintain cartilage in your joints. Collagen also contributes to bone health by supporting healthy bone and mineral density. Detoxification. Glutamine and glycine are important for liver health and supporting your body's natural detoxification pathways. Both of these amino acids are necessary for the production of glutathione, which is the antioxidant that's required by the liver to properly do its job.

Fiber is the part of fruits, vegetables and grains not digested by your body. A low-fiber diet restricts these foods. As a result, the amount of undigested material passing through your large intestine is limited and stool bulk is lessened.A low-fiber diet may be recommended for a number of conditions or situations. It is sometimes called a restricted-fiber diet.PurposeYour doctor may prescribe a low-fiber diet if: You have narrowing of the bowel due to a tumor or an inflammatory disease You have had bowel surgery You are having treatment, such as radiation, that damages or irritates your digestive tractAs your digestive system returns to normal, you usually can slowly add more fiber back into your diet.

You've been using the wrong approach to lose weight and keep it off for years; that's why you never succeed to sustainably lose weight!Let me explain why and how...Your body is a complete system with everything working in perfect harmony and balance....You gaining and losing weight also works in perfect harmony and if anything is out of balance, nothing you do is likely to be sustainable!Weight loss is as a result of the interaction of many processes - calories in and calories out is just one of the many factors.

Yes, you could literally make your hormones to support your weight loss endeavors through resetting your hormones, not by using some magic 'hormone reset' button but by relying on one of the things that greatly contribute to the balance or imbalance of your hormones - your diet!Here's just a tiny fraction of what you'll discover: The basics of the hormonal reset diet, including what it is, how it works, why it works and more 21-day reset preparation The ins and outs of the 7 hormones that have a direct and indirect link to weight loss, including estrogen, insulin, Leptin, Cortisol, Thyroid hormones, Growth hormone, Testosterone What can you do after the reset? The role of physical exercise Meal planning for hormone reset And much more!Take a second to imagine how you'd feel once you finally achieve the weight you've always targeted, and how your family and friends would react when they see the healthier-looking, animated person you become.How would life be when you're finally filled with an amount of energy and vitality... how much more would you achieve?If you truly have a burning desire to improve your health, size and vitality as soon as possible,

The carb-counting diet is an eating plan designed to keep blood sugar levels even throughout the day. The diet involves counting the grams of carbohydrates in all the foods you eat. Keeping the amount of carbohydrates consumed at each meal consistent can help prevent fluctuations in blood sugar.The number of carbs someone on the carb-counting diet can eat at each meal or snack varies. A dietitian can help you determine the number that is right for you. It is based on your usual caloric intake, physical activity, lifestyle, and whether you take certain diabetes medications.In general, one serving of a carbohydrate food contains about 15 grams of carbohydrates. For many adults, the plan involves eating three to five carbohydrate servings (or 45 to 75 grams total carbohydrates) at each meal and one or two carbohydrate servings (15 to 30 grams total carbohydrates) at each snack.

By now you have probably heard of the ketogenic diet but never really thought it would be possible on a plant-based diet. First, let's first clear up any confusion you might have when it comes down to what the diet actually is. There are several different variations of the ketogenic diet and as it grows in popularity it's becoming more of an umbrella term for all the ways you can achieve nutritional ketosis (defined by elevation of blood ketones).

I am hoping that this book provides more additional support for those seeking to attempt this dietary strategy from a vegan perspective.

The vegetarian keto diet is an eating plan that combines aspects of vegetarianism and keto dieting.Most vegetarians eat animal products like eggs and dairy but avoid meat and fish.Meanwhile, the ketogenic diet is a high-fat diet that limits carb intake to 20-50 grams per day. This ultra-low-carb intake prompts ketosis, a metabolic state in which your body starts burning fat for fuel instead of glucose.On a traditional ketogenic diet, around 70% of your total daily calories should come from fat, including sources like oils, meat, fish, and full-fat dairy.However, the vegetarian keto diet eliminates meat and fish, relying instead on other healthy fats, such as coconut oil, eggs, avocados, nuts, and seeds.Top ketogenic & vegetarian benefits: Decrease your cravings by consuming (healthy) fatsSpeed up your weight loss or lean gainsIncreased good- and decrease bad cholesterol levelsStabilize your blood sugar and insulin levelsImprove your brain functions, energy levels, and body compositionSave animal lives, improve the environment and be a responsible human being
