So I have started to follow the CSIRO Healthy Gut Diet, having to adapt recipes as they are mainly meat based, so far the Hainan-style chicken (egg for vego) and ginger rice with asian greens and chilli sauce along with the five spice asian greens with beans and rice have a thumbs up, The Cheat's Chicken (boiled egg) paella got a big thumbs down, I prefer my version of the potato and pea curry,. We are having the lentil hotpot tomorrow. It takes a bit of planning as you have to cook all of the carbs the day before and then chill in the fridge. So tomorrow I need potato slices which I have to cook tonight and then put in the fridge. This turns them into resistant starches which take longer to digest promoting healthy gut bacteria. There are straight vegetarian recipes so I just alter the meat based ones into vegetarian/vegan ones
Thank you! I subscribed to their newsletter.
One would think eating was easy but in today's world not so much. For me beans are a big item and I try to not only soak all the dried beans beforehand but also to sprout them. Then I learned many beans, especially Kidney, have a toxin that must be boiled out before cooking.
So you are trying to slow down the digesting period when one would think speeding it up is preferable. Gut bacterial is often found in some foods and I prefer fermented things as sauerkraut, Kimchees to add bacteria. Then there is the issue of pre-biotics. These are often foods with lots of fiber [en.wikipedia.org]
There is a lot of reading but my understanding is it changes the hormones your body is producing to digest food, the good bacteria prefer the higher fibre foods while the bad bacteria can not use it and so they die away. You get a bit windy the first week of it and there was lots of complaining from my gut as it adjusted but even with a girl's morning tea with friends I was able to make foods that fit into the scheme of things ie tomato, cucumber, red onion and coriander salsa, home made hummus and a broad bean dip, home made beetroot (no vinegar just gently boiled and then diced and a quick fry in a small amount of oil with pepper) everyone enjoyed the dips and the veges. Served with turkish bread.
@Budgie All sounds great and I love hummus. Unfortunately, I had an food antigen test done and discovered sesame seeds are high on the no list. For years Tahini was a staple in our diet. This test shows foods in which one's body reacts. The reaction can be very benign but it is there. [usbiotek.com]
@JackPedigo my hummus is basically chick peas, garlic, some olive oil and water. No tahini added so assume it would be good for you.
@Budgie Thank you. I will look up a recipe. All the commercial varieties I have seen have Tahini. One thing I do is sprout all my beans before cooking.
Sounds interesting... Post some of your fave recipes please
There might be copyright issues with that as they come from a published book. The favourite so far has these ingredients. garlic, ginger, five spice powder, tamari, white balsamic vinegar, vege stock, hoisin sauce, choy sum, gai lan, green beans, celery, basmati rice, kidney beans (I actually used black beans) spinach
Good on you for trying to cook a more healthy diet. Never heard of the CSIRO diet but will be looking it up!
I added a link up above.

Posted by BDairWhy was there never a word about healthy diets and essential vitamins and nutrients? Liquor stores and 'big box' stores never closed. This was never about public health.
