Still Gluten Free

I am quite impressed that I have more posts to my blog in 2010 than I did in all of 2009. Not bad :).

I am almost 3 weeks in to the Gluten Free diet. It is going well....it isn't terribly hard, it just requires some preparation. There are a ton of gluten free products now, Betty Crocker makes a great cupcake mix and their frosting is naturally gluten free. So are snicker bars and milky ways, Lays Potato Chips.....:) Needless to say the diet isn't going so well...I've actually thought that if I end up havign to do this forever, I might need to count some points while being gluten free. It's too easy to say well I can't have bread or baked goods, so I deserve to be able to a few treats...well a a few are fine, it's everything in moderation.

I actually lost 4 lbs the first week, but have been the same since. So gluten free is a lot of meat, cheese (as long as it doesn't have gluten...some cheaper varieties might actually have additives, ewww), fruit, veggies, potatoes, rice....oh and salad. Which has also proved to be troublesome. I'm limiting the amount of lettuce and raw veggies.

Overall, I think it is making a difference. So hard to tell. Doctor appointment next week so we'll see what happens.
