Nine years ago, I was terribly ill... Doctors didn't know what was happening.

Per chance, my ex sister-in-law told me that she was going "wheat-free". What??? A woman who had 25 lbs of wheat ready to be ground in her kitchen? Not eating wheat???

I set out to prove her wrong.

What I stumbled upon was the source of my own ailments.

Within two weeks of going "grain-free", my health radically improved.
I know what it was like to be sick. I'm never going back down that road!

Is there anyone else out there who is Paleo, Keto or Grain-free??
I'd love to hear your stories!!

Plus, because it is such a "radical" difference in lifestyle (and I would never want to be accused of forcing change upon a man) I almost believe that it should be part of every "first" conversation....

"Hello, my name is Jane and I'm Grain-free. Nice to meet you." rolling on the floor laughing

Stories anyone?

When I say that I eat a High-fat, and low Carb diet, I get the most hilarious looks!

Some are lazy some prefer to complain about their health woes instead of doing their homework.

You are correct - everybody is different. There is no "one-fits-all" lifestyle.

I, too, love carbs. They make us feel good. yay
I just need to stay 'low' in the spectrum. No big serving of pasta or rice. Just some grilled or baked veggies.

I mainly eat carbs, that's what my body needs and what the doctors say...
Lucky me laugh

Hi Dedo,
Fries are a carb I allow because usually the fries are pre-cooked before freezing and shipping. I think this causes the resistent starch to be created. But.... I might be totally wrong on this one. I'm open to correction. dunno

three of my favourites!!

i love bread, but it doesn't like me. i find it makes a huge difference if i don't eat it. same with wheat pasta.

i eat the dark chocolate sans the croissant.
i love fries and mayo and they don't seem to give me any problems.
although i love a good french baguette and pate...i switched to the occasional slice of rye bread/cracker with pate...... or just a spoon...laugh
it must be the weather but i've been craving french fries, mayo, and pate for a couple weeks.

thanks D, now i'm back to craving.....

hiya Kaylana,

i have friends on the keto diet. me.... i do better with moderation, and small 'grazing' throughout the day.
i did drop wheat for the most part. i feel and look much better when i don't eat it. every now and then i will indulge and if i don't eat too much i'm ok. but i have to give a a week or two's rest. if i eat wheat too often, i feel quite sick.

that's interesting about the fries....cuz i can eat them without any problems.

I am a nothing-free zone laugh

I eat everything, but I generally do have a healthy diet.

Having said that, I am here eating homemade banana bread and ice cream as I type grin

for me, chips are just a vehicle for getting the dip in....

so the bonus of home kale chips is that they are too fragile to dip.

I make and bake most of my own food. I just prefer the taste, and like knowing exactly what's in it.

But kale chips aren't top of my list laugh

oohhhh, i hear ya!
we rarely go out for dinner, and i make or bake pretty much everything we eat, for the same reasons as you. as well, i have some allergies which get triggered by processed foods.

i comfort myself with the knowledge that i just ate a cup of kale. dark leafy greens and all that goodness....
(and yup, i was having a smoke while i did that....laugh )
and it certainly cuts down the calories so that i can still have coffee and baileys...thumbs up
