Hi Team,
The simple fact is that many people have a hard time properly digesting wheat products — and even other grain-like items such as corn, rice, and even so-called safe substitute of quinoa.
These foods can cause problems such as a bloated belly, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and other forms of uncomfortable gastro-intestinal distress. Even worse gluten can promote a host of ‘auto-immune’ diseases, such as psoriasis, thyroid problems, and many others. If you find yourself with a bloated belly, skin problems, or recurring minor health issues that won’t go away, it’s possible that you have gluten sensitivity.
The best solution is to eliminate wheat and other sources of gluten-like foods. But don’t worry because this is much easier than you think. Eliminate all sources of wheat, rice, and corn from your diet for 14 days and see if you notice a change. Replace these with fibre-rich complex carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes or beans. In just a few days you’ll find that not only do these issues start to improve, but you’ll also rapidly drop belly fat as your high-glycaemic carbohydrate (the type of carbs that rapidly increase your blood sugar and belly fat) decreases. And you’ll have a dramatic increase in all-day energy.
Foods to avoid include baked goods (such as bread, pastries, etc.), cereals, cookies, and crackers. But there are also many hidden sources of gluten such as sauces, packaged foods of all kinds, and even my beloved chocolate milk (that uses a filler called “carrageenan” that should be avoided).
This is the third blog relating to foods you should avoid or reduce your intake. The other two were sugars which I think is the top of the list and processed vegetable oils. I’m interested to hear if any of you have tried to cut these out and what benefits you have noticed over a couple of weeks. The difference should be very noticeable.
I’m seven weeks into my fight against eating processed sugars and I’m proud to say that my cravings have gone so the proof is definitely in the pudding. I’ve not way less inflammation in my body and brain and feel super focused.
Give these a whirl and you can thank me later 😉
I hope you have found this material useful.
Own your day, be bulletproof
