Love life, love your family, love every day, and live!
Live like there is no tomorrow, because some day there may be no tomorrow.
We are converts to a gluten free lifestyle.
While we both came about to this decision for different reasons and different ways both of out lives have improved drastically.
We tend to preach to anyone that will listen, since without hearing it you will not consider it an option that is feasible.
We used to have pasta with everything and assumed we could not live without grains, believe me, it is possible and pretty simple to beat the addiction, because that's what it is an addiction.
What it boils down to is insulin resistance, our bodies do not know how to handle all the sugar that is thrown at it, and believe me sugar is in the most amazing things, things you wouldn't consider it appropriate.
After doing a lot of research we are not on a diet.
We changed the way we eat, we made a nutritional choice, because most of what we and everyone eats is nutritionally deprived.
It is not a Paleo diet, it is not an Atkins diet, it is not a whole foods diet, it is not a low fat diet. It is what works for us.
Lets call it the I am sick of being sick diet.
It is simple really:
Eat your veggies. Not processed crap, buy a head of lettuce and take the 10 minutes to cut it up. organic is possible.
Keep cut up vegetables at hand for snacks.
Keep healthy nuts at hand for a snack: salt free and unroasted if possible, almonds, cashews, brazil nuts, occasionally macadamias. No peanuts (they are not a nut, but a legume and they act that way digestive wise)
Eat your meat, unprocessed, whole meats. Ground meats digest faster than chewed meats will. Organic if possible.
Stay away from starch! Those "whole grain" breads, they have manufactured down those whole grains so far that they are all starch, no gluten products, no potatoes, no rice.
Most important of all, these rules are meant to be broken OCCASIONALLY.
Don't deny yourself, you are at a party, party it up, just don't continue to eat that way.
Try to stick with it when possible, most restaurants will gladly serve you some vegetables instead of pasta or potatoes.
Get a friend, we will be your friend, A lot of times it is easier to do anything like this when you have someone to talk to and ask questions.
Remember eat to live, not live to eat.
Love to eat and love what you eat.
Love every day.
Live every day.
