a health issue they are looking to fix<\/a>.\u00a0 Unlike going vegan or vegetarian, you don\u2019t hear about people making the switch to gluten-free unless they have to.<\/p>\nSo why in the heck did I go and commit myself to a week of gluten-free eating?\u00a0 Especially since bread is one of my fave food groups?\u00a0 Because I was reading an article that said it improved the subject\u2019s sleep and made her less bloated.<\/p>\n
Yipee!\u00a0 Less bloat just in time for summer.\u00a0 Some body types are more prone to retaining fluids than others.\u00a0 I may or may not be one of these.\u00a0 Let\u2019s just say that during bikini season I stick pretty close to the fruits and veg.\u00a0 Sometimes even those can give me a little tummy.\u00a0 Frustrating as that is, I have never related it to gluten.\u00a0 Sodium or sugar, yes.\u00a0 Bread and grains, nope.<\/p>\n
So, in effort to banish the muffin top before I hit the beach I thought maybe going gluten-free would be worth a look.\u00a0 Yesterday was my first day and it was rough.\u00a0 I had a sweet tooth like crazy and, since I am not much of a meat person, found myself stuck to a mainly fruit\/veg diet.\u00a0 My BLT sans bread was, shall we say, underwhelming.\u00a0 It all ended in a late night trail mix binge that I would not recommend to any of you.<\/p>\n
Today I crave oatmeal and cinnamon rolls.<\/p>\n
Are you gluten-free?\u00a0 If so, is it for medical issues or do you do it to feel great and banish the bloat?\u00a0 And what are your tips for successful, fulfilling gluten-free eating?<\/strong><\/p>\nPlease help a bread-lover out.<\/p>\n
