Hello bloggersphere!
About two weeks ago I decided that I would completely cut wheat from my diet. What prompted this change in lifestyle was reading the book Wheat Belly. The book is rather insightful and it really opened my eyes to how bad wheat is for our bodies and health. I have suffered from gastroesophageal reflux disease for a little over three years now and after reading about how wheat gluten is really hard on your gastrointestinal tract, I decided that cutting wheat from my daily diet would be the best decision for me. I have been wheat-gluten free for five days now and I am feeling pretty great. My cravings for all things wheat are slowly subsiding and I'm feeling better than I have in months.
It is definitely a complete lifestyle change. This is due to the fact that there is wheat in everything. It requires you to be more conscious of what you are putting into your body and putting a bit more preparation into meals. It is honestly not as hard as I thought it would be, which definitely is making it easier to stick to it!
The past week I've been looking up different recipes and getting inspiration from different blogs. Tonight I'm going to make some homemade sloppy joes with homemade bread! I'll post pictures and the results tomorrow!
Anyways, check out the book Wheat Belly. If anything, it gets you thinking critically about the food you are consuming.
