OH, yeah, if you get rid of just sugar and wheat the energy increase
is amazing. AND I quit craving carbs in about two weeks. I eat NO
beef (I think mad cow is VERY previlant, and I have to say "No thank
you" to the beef), I do drink one or two cups of coffee, my only real
vice, since I don't drink and don't smoke, and since I gave up sugar,
I do still have one or two cups of coffe daily, just in the morning.
I didn't give up pasta though, I make my own using Spelt, which is a
very ancient old grain, related to wheat, but different, it's not been
genetically altered or screwed with, so it's pretty much the same way
it's been for thousands of years, and it has the most wonderful taste!
So I make my own pasta with that, I buy organic baking spelt at Wild
Oats here where I live, and it's wonderful!! And I do eat anything
else, and have NO problems what so ever, just getting rid of the sugar
and wheat (I do eat potatoes occasionally, since they are not
processed). Oh, and I also do not EVER eat hydrogenated oils, VERY
bad stuff. I use mostly olive oil, and butter, and occasionally soy
bean or peanut oil from reliable sources. But I've dropped 90 pounds
in one year, and that is without ANY excercise because I've been wheel
chair bound for a year. I only recently got my knee replaced, and
will be having surgery on my foot this spring sometime, then,
HOPEFULLY, I will be able to walk normally again. But I am proof
positive, sugar and wheat are BAD for you! :) Glad you're having
success with the life changes, as they say "you are what you eat"!!

Peace,
Ginny
