Back in the fall of 2015 I stopped eating any foods with wheat and I felt so good. My knees didn't hurt and I had so much energy. Well, then we got crazy busy with closing the store, packing and moving to our new home in Georgia. There wasn't enough time to grab meals that were wheat free and so I was back to no energy and my knees hurting worse than they ever had.
Monday morning, February 15, 2016 I started the 17 Day Diet that excludes sugars and starches...anything white from your diet. I did this about 3 years ago and lost 30 pounds in 17 days...truly amazing. Why did I not stick with it? Who knows...I just slipped back into cooking and eating all the good comfort foods. This week I was looking through the Web for new 17 Day recipe ideas when I stumbled across Wheat Belly. It describes what grains do to our bodies. As I read more it was describing me!
I have made up my mind to cut all grains out of my diet. Since Monday I have lost 5 pounds, I am satisfied not, hungry and not craving sweets. Today I walked through Aldi and Publix without my knees killing me. Last week when shopping at Publix I did not know if I could make it back to the car, every step was agony and I wanted to cry from the pain. I also think my brain is working better and instead of sitting comatose I have energy...it's so wonderful! Feeling so good after only one week, what will happen as time goes on? I will keep posting how it goes.
