A healthy body is a beautiful. :) I like how you stand up for your belief and not be overcome by influence!

Some people just don't get it. I had a, well, not friend exactly, just somebody I know, rambling on and on about the paleo diet, and gluten free, and how she doesn't eat beans, and blah blah blah. I shut it down quickly, because I'm better read, and can be kindly aggressive when I'm not interested in continuing a conversation. I said if she felt good eating that way, I'm happy she found what works for her. (Mind you, while she was visiting she wanted to get a pizza, so she could chow down on gluten out of sight from her group of gluten free friends. Which we did, much to my amusement) I then explained to her that unfortunately I can't exist on a meat laden diet, even if that meat is grass fed, and not from a mass production farm. The more meat that I eat, the crummier I feel. I can't touch certain meats either, like venison, and most pork, (I can have a slice of bacon, or a bight of chorizo, but that's about it), because I'll end up vomiting, and shitting like crazy. I said it makes absolute sense for a person with Celiac disease, or a non Celiac gluten sensitivity to not eat processed foods, or other wheat containing foods. She still maintains nobody should eat it, but at least the subject got dropped.<br />Honestly, I'd like to be tested for food allergies sometime in the future, because I still experience too much bloating (mostly at night), and other stomach issues. I'm still working on finding out what foods work for me.<br />Hey, can you send me a link for the protein calculators? I'd like to try 'em out, and see what they recommend. I'm doing way more strength training lately, but no real heavy lifting. It is something I am interested in FOR SURE down the road, but for now I'm happy with the classes, and the swimming.<br />I've had bad experiences with quinoa, but want to give it another shot. I pinned a bunch of recipes, but am still a little nervous that they will turn out bad. Have you tried popped amaranth? Like quinioa, it's a complete protein- pop it like popcorn for a fun snack. You can cook it, but it's better used as a thickener in my opinion because it has an odd texture.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00924024976077811592noreply@blogger.com
