First, I rid my pantry, kitchen and fridge of any item that had "wheat/grain sugar" in it. Many bags of "wheat/grain/sugar" items were tossed into the trash - stuff wasted (but not - not now - going to my waist). Food magazine subscriptions are being dropped. Cookbooks are set out on the Free shelf outside my studio or taken to Half/Price Bookstore.
Replacements were purchased: almond flour, coconut flour, flaxseed meal, coconut oil, olive oil, Swerve, grass fed beef, fresh frozen vegetables (Miropoix - cut up onions, celery, green pepper), frozen wild blueberries, Daikon radishes, avocados, mushrooms, almond milk, etc.
"Wheat Belly" inspired me to set up a Monday evening Meetup group. We prepared Wheat Belly compliant foods and tried many recipes which are "wheat/grain/sugar free". The group was enthusiastic and seemed interested. As time passed by, my interest in baking and cooking a lot of food was no longer a priority - so I stopped scheduling the Wheat Belly Meetups.
There are success stories from friends who have started this journey. People are losing weight, getting rid of brain fog, increasing energy levels, sleeping better, reducing their grocery bills and spending less time shopping and cooking. And, their complexion is clear and glowing. (Read more success stories over on Wheat Belly Facebook page).
The Meetups gradually dropped to myself and another person. I continue to visit our Wheat Belly Facebook page - more than 80,600 people now (Oct. 28, 2013). I'm amazed at all the incredible success stories and pictures. We share and care there.
I may find more Wheat Belly Living people here in Cincinnati. I know it's a "life-changer" - a BIG TIME LIFE CHANGER! Best thing is to jump onto Facebook and "Like" Wheat Belly. There is also a Wheat Belly Recipe Central page for plenty of "wheat/grain/sugar free" recipes.
And, if you don't like to bake - we order cookies and other "wheat/grain/sugar free" items from Wheatfree Foods LLC. It's time for me to order some more "Almond Spice" cookies - a healthy treat!
This is a stir-fry. Cut up some onions, squash, mushrooms - brown in olive oil.
Add grass-fed ground beef. This is a basic meal - easy and healthy.
