Goodbye Wheat

The other day my mum was telling me how her friend had stopped eating wheat and how she was looking so much better and really healthy. Both my mum and I have decided to try this because, cutting out wheat does actually have benefits for your health. 

:

Allergy relief

Digestive help

Prevention of weight gain

Brain health 

Blood health  

And honestly it isn't that hard. Yes if you adore bread and pasta it may be hard, but you get used to it. Personally I was most worried about pizza, but, you can get gluten free bases so phew.

What you can eat:

Beans, seeds, nuts in their natural, unprocessed form

Fresh eggs

Fresh meats, fish and poultry (not breaded, batter-coated)

Fruits and vegetables 

Most dairy products

Some dark chocolate 

Gluten free cakes/slices (not too often)

Corn

Flax 

Gluten free flowers (rice, soy, almond)

Quinoa

Rice

Soy

What to avoid UNLESS labeled with 'gluten free':

Barley

Rye 

Wheat (obviously)

Non gluten free flour 

Beer

Breads

Cakes and pies 

Candies

Cereals

Cookies 

Crackers

French fries 

gravies 

pasta

Processed meats

Salad dressings 

Sauces, including soy sauce

Seasoned snack foods (potato chips)

I am definitely going to try this because no wheat can also improve your skin if you have acne so I'm willing to give it a shot and you generally feel a lot better when you're eating healthier.
