Gluten. Do you love it?

If you haven't read our Quick Sheet on Gluten have a look.

Gluten has been demonized in our society, and unless you are a celiac (which is 3% of the population) you can likely tolerate gluten. That said....is it great for us?

In our society, the gluten-filled products have been ultra-ultra processed. It isn't so much the gluten - though it is a binder. It's everything else that goes along with it. If you are a sandwich and bread fan, I highly recommend Gluten-Free whole grain breads and sprouted breads on this program; if you are ok missing gluten from your diet, lean towards Sweet Potato toast, non-gluten grains like quinoa and brown rice and filling your diet with tons of veggies.

The benefits of taking a break from gluten

You will immediately notice a reduction in your belly bloating - trust me.
You will experiment with non-gluten foods and introduce new recipes you haven't thought about before
You will lower your blood sugar levels and stabilize your glucose levels
You will eat more of the Healthy Six in - more fibre, more protein, more healthy fats. I love a seed cracker with smashed avocado as a snack!
You will learn to love the pizza and pastas as an occasional, not daily treat.
You will reduce your cravings for bread and starches
