Don't forget carbs. You need your carbs.
- Edamame
- Teff
- Quinoa (I have a pancake recipe I've used a few times)
- Oatmeal! I checked, and it has a slightly higher protein content than other grains.
- Bulgur (I've included a nutritional data link that I am fond of. Look up any of these grains or search the caloric ratio triangle for new foods)
- Spelt
- Emmer
- Khorasan Wheat
- Wild Rice
- Rye
- Lentils
- Amaranth
- Kamut
- Barley
- Buckwheat
- Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans). You will quickly miss the crispy-crunchy texture of prepared foods. Chickpeas can be brushed with oil, spices, and baked in the oven. A tasty, crunchy snack.
Do you have a Bulk Barn in your part of the world? Here they have a wide selection of flours, grains, and snacks for celiacs.

jgnat, thanks for the infor.I have gone off wheat for weight loss, haven't lost any yet after 2 months. I have bought rice flour to try an make some biscuits and have tried quinoa. I eat chickpeas from a can. I will try the others you have mentioned.

Panhandlegirl, you gotta be careful what you replace wheat with. As a diabetic, the glycemic index on rice is way too high for me. I have to doctor it with lots of extra fibre (like a vegetable stir-fry) and eat it with meat. Brown rice is better of course.
P.S. I haven't lost any weight either.
