I'm trying something new. It's a little crazy, but so far, I feel really good. I have cut gluten (it's the protein in wheat) and dairy from my life. This is on top of meat, which I already don't eat on account of being vegetarian. Oh. And I stopped eating sugar.
This has been a gradual decline, sort of.
Day 1 I subbed rice noodles for spaghetti and ate all the other things.
Day 2 I ate half a cupcake and M&Ms
Day 3 I ate a cookie.
Day 4 totally free!
Day 5 totally free! but now I am having cravings. I can do it. I went grocery shopping and got some snacks that were G/D/S free. I am not bloated and I feel great. I actually feel hungry instead of just sort of uncomfortable. I can recognize it. Here we go...!!
Go you! I am so excited for you and how much better you will feel. The bloated thing seems minor but isn't at all once you get used to NOT having it.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you cutting gluten and sugar at the same time. Sugar is the only thing that kept me going when I had my gluten cravings. You might get really grouchy but there are enough delicious carbs/ natural sugars out there that are G/D/S free you'll be fine. I distinctly remember how Starbursts saved my life the second day I was GF. But, I was very uneducated then and didn't know about honey, agave nectar, fruit bars, etc . . .
Good luck!
Thanks April! I do feel better. This week, I've been eating some sugar but in pretty small amounts... I'm trying to listen to what my body has to say for the most part!
