I really think my problem is that I can't eat wheat/gluten at all.
I did a gluten free diet a few years ago (for almost a year) and initially felt a lot better and lost some weight. Actually, I was almost scarily thin - I think I was down to about 106. Anyway, I started feeling crappy on the diet and just went back to eating wheat. And I've been steadily feeling worse and worse and worse (and more and more bloated) ever since.
In retrospect, I think the reason I began to feel crappy on the GF diet is because I reintroduced dairy, as well as I was eating a lot of GF junk food, like special cookies. These are really starchy and sugary and sometimes fatty and certainly by no means "real food."
So my new plan of attack as of today is to eat GF, and to eat as much real food as possible. (And as low sugar as possible!)
So breakfast was gorilla munch (which does have a few grams of sugar, but hey) with blueberries and unsweetened almond milk.
Lunch is a nice salad with turkey and a pear. I also have a lara bar in case I run some errands after work and need a snack.
I haven't figured dinner out yet, we'll see how I feel after my salad! Maybe some rice or buckwheat pasta with veggies.
Anyway, thanks for listening. I guess as you continue on your sugar free journey, I'll begin (again) a gluten free journey.
