The past year and a half has been crazy. After 8 surgeries in 2020, my system has been up and down, and I have finally made the connection 8 months after my last surgery that gluten and dairy were causing inflammation, which in turn, was making my body hold onto the weight. In addition, we have had to temporarily cut all grains from the children's diet. The result if cutting grains and dairy out is that I have started dropping the weight rapidly. I don't know if this pace will keep up very long, but it is a good start.
So what does grain-free look like in a Trim Healthy Lifestyle? Grains are an E fuel, so E fuels are what I had to focus on changing.
E Breakfasts have been Creamy Grains (THC p.252-253) using quinoa
For sides with lunch & dinner, we have quinoa or sweet potatoes for E meals.
It has been an adjustment, but the options are delicious, and the benefits rewarding.
