After two weeks of no flour, in any form, I splurged and had pizza Friday night, and a burger on Saturday. And all day today I've been fighting a migraine, which has kept me from working out, grocery shopping, or getting much of anything done.
In the usual lightening bolt timing, my cousin and I had a nice chat today that happened to focus onto what cutting out gluten has done for him. Hint: amazingly good things that a decade of prescription meds could not.
So, with all this in my head (and ouch, by the way), I am renewing my resolve to cut gluten out of my diet. My hope is to start with this, so that I may indulge in gluten-free baking and whatnot. And if that is not enough, I will take the next step and cut out all flour.
I was inspired by the advice, knowledge, and science that exists, and also by this:
Good luck! It's hard to go gluten free, but if you stick with it, you won't regret it!
ReplyDeleteIf you want to lose weight, than your first step is too control your diet, than you have to think how you can consume your this calorie and how do burn out extra calorie,
ReplyDeleteFYI Pizzeria Uno has gluten free if there happens to be one near you. I am almost afraid to know how cutting out the gluten might make me feel...I would have an easier time leaving chocolate behind!
ReplyDeleteI cut out gluten two weeks ago per my doctors request because of major stomach problems I have. I splurge yesterday at a family event and felt sick the rest of the day and was in extreme pain. Totally wasn't worth it!
ReplyDeleteI've thought about this, and it's common for people to have Gluten allergies and not even know it...
ReplyDeleteI just think it has to be one of the hardest things to stick with when you go out. :(
I refuse to go gluten-free. But I AM trying to eat more whole foods and less processed stuff.
