a diet....with no bread.
I have been on a diet with no bread (made with wheat) for almost two years. I lost those few extra pounds I had been wanting to shed, and my health and energy are at its best, largely because of eliminating bread (more specifically, gluten). I used to have a chronic case of exzema, which also has cleared up beautifully since going gluten-free. Actually, I have not gone completely "breadless"--- I merely changed ingredients. I buy other types of bread without gluten. Does this sound like your situation?
There is gluten in so many foods --- that I have taken to reading every label before I buy anything.
Eating out has become another challenge. For example, restaurants here sometimes throw wheat flour into rice, and mashed potatoes, so I have taken to asking on every occasion.
A$ for grocery $hopping, there are lot$ of product$ out there, more expen$ive, of cour$e. I have heard that the additional expense can become a deduction when income tax time rolls around, so keep your receipts, if you live in Canada. I'm starting a spreadsheet to itemize the differences. Keep us posted!
As for my day today, I went for an early massage, then had a nap. Heck, it's Saturday!
Later I'm going for a dance lesson, then our teacher is throwing an "Appreciation Evening" of food and dance. Sounds divine!
Appears that many of you in this thread are into reading. Well, so am I. Right now I am reading Sacred Contracts by Caroline Myss.
