tmi alert, haha
I finally read the last section of my book that talks about eliminating wheat from the diet. It's the part I should have read first. Oops. That's not to say I haven't been doing it wrong, but I do have some products on my shelves that are still much too carby to really benefit from this diet change in the first place. Some of it already made sense. I would really like to know who doesn't know that vegetables have more fiber than wheat products such bread. To me that seems like common sense. I have been pooping like a champ since increasing my veggies. It's great. By the way, about 24 hours after eating that hotdog (because I was drunk and hungry) I got the runs. How suspicious...it only proves just how awesome it is to NOT to eat wheat. I thought I would blame the coconut milk hot chocolate heated in the microwave, but...nah! Diarrhea is such a common symptom to have after consuming wheat after not for a while that the timing is anything but coincidental. Oh yes! I have also pinpointed my gassiness down to spinach since I am no longer consuming anything else wheaty or otherwise that would cause gas and bloating. These past couple of weeks have been wonderful observation, investigation and fascination as I see and feel my body change. I'm not really losing weight tho, but I think it's going to be very gradual if it's going to happen. I think my love handles are looking smaller these days.
Anyway, I'm getting a little bored with the food that I'm eating, so to explore some new and delicious recipes I've put a book on hold at the library called Plenty by an author whose name I cannot remember right now. It's a cook book dedicated to vegetable recipes, which I am in dire need of because I can't keep eating the same thing over and over again.
