Tomorrow marks one full week that I've eaten no wheat. Without too much detail, I was getting inflammation and felt fatigued all the time. I got the idea to try not eating wheat from someone at work. She tried it and said that while it helped her energy levels, it seemed too complicated to maintain.
Well, I somewhat agree. I already don't eat meat, so without wheat, I felt I had to replace a huge staple in my diet. I've gotten so creative this week with my food planning!
In the last week I've made homemade veggie sushi (surprisingly easier than I thought), brown rice and tofu stir fry, refried beans with spinach and avocado, and kidney bean red velvet brownies. I've always wanted to cook more, and now I had a reason to do it. The only downside? I feel hungry every couple hours so I feel I'm constantly eating. I keep my calories in check to about the same amount but still.
We'll see how long I keep this up...
