Yeah, I guess it pretty much is GF, though I just worry about not eating wheat. If there are other sources of gluten I don't worry about them.
My typical lunch is a salad with a chicken breast on top, and maybe a potato or sweet potato if I'm especially hungry. I try to have some SF with every meal. I eat a lot of what I call quickie "soup" too. I'll throw some cooked rice, cooked chicken, chicken broth and maybe some veggies into a container, then microwave it at work. (I don't trust most store-bought soups not to have crap in them!) If I'm home I might fry up a hamburger patty and eat it without the bun, or some fish. I guess the hardest part for me is having to plan ahead. I always have cooked chicken, cooked rice and those washed and ready to eat salads in my fridge. I try to keep cooked quinoa in there too. That keeps me feeling full longer than rice does. Or I'll make a big batch of GF pasta on the weekend and keep that in the fridge. Tomato sauce makes me sick but I'll put a little olive oil and garlic on the pasta, then microwave it.
I remember it was daunting for me at first, thinking, "oh my gosh what am I supposed to eat without wheat?!" But after a month or two it just became routine. I don't feel deprived at all, except when it comes to sweets. I miss pie!
