Woohoo, another week down!
If I had a dollar for every strange look I get when I tell people eating gluten free is not as difficult as I thought it was going to be...I'd be rich! I spent a lot of time this week wondering why this was so "easy" for me. I made excuses like "my diet is already mostly GF", "grocery stores carry a variety of GF products today", "I'm prepared with snacks at all times", etc. I came to the realization this experiment would be a lot more difficult if I had an actual allergy to gluten- known as celiac disease. I know how lucky I am to not have to worry about food contamination and getting sick if I eat gluten accidentally. I imagine my stress level would be much greater if my immediate gut health depended on it. If I (or someone else) makes a mistake, I won't be paying for it for the rest of the day. To my knowledge, nothing I've eaten has been contaminated and I've been feeling great! Another reason why I believe this diet has been "easy" for me is because I started it when I was ready to. I was motivated, determined, and prepared from the start. In my opinion, this is why a lot of New Year's resolutions fail (one of the reasons). People are make a lifestyle change based off of a holiday and not when they themselves are totally ready to make a change. For this reason, I choose to health coach people who are already committed and open to making positive changes. I can't want this for you, you have to want it for yourself (and your family).
