I've been able to complete a solid five months of being wheat free. Has it be easy? Heck no. Have I learned a lot about my body and my health? Heck yes!
Since doing WeightWatchers in addition to going wheat free, I've adapted a much simpler eating style. The fewer ingredients, the better-- so much to the point where if something has a lot of chemicals/additives/salt in it, I'm not interested. I'm eating entire meals that have five ingredients or less-- lots of fruits, vegetables and grilled/baked meats. I wish, again, that I can say that I've lost a ton of weight in these five months, but its only been close to 15lbs. But the things is, since going WF, many people really started noticing my weight loss-- probably because I don't look as puffy/water retaining as I did before. Its exciting to see my clavicles, feel my ribs and see my shoulder blades pop out of my back when I put on halter tops.
My bouts of dizziness have decreased dramatically-- I usually only get them when I eat something high in sugar (i.e. a banana) after going a while w/o eating. But it doesn't last long at all-- usually just a few minutes, I drink water and everything is back to normal. My vitals/bloodwork/etc have been taken too w/in the past two months-- the doc said everything came back fantastic! One male nurse even said that my vitals were better than anyone else's in the office. Now if that doesn't make you feel good, I don't know what would :)
