how to become gluten free: stop eating anything containing gluten

you will mess your body up so badly that even if you weren't gluten intolerant, you will become so

honest to god, we as a people get stupider by the decade

Actually, we get wussier and less polite. A can remember hearing, "Do you mind if I smoke?" "I really wish you wouldn't." "Okay."

Now it's, "Oh, I'm sorry but I'm allergic to....(pick whatever in the hell you want)." I asked for a sandwich without avocado. Someone eating with me said, "You're allergic to avocado?" "Of course not. I just don't like it." You're not supposed to have foods you dislike.

My daughter and I met a woman in a restaurant who was allergic to wheat, rice, green vegetable, tubers, red meat, chicken, pork, and fish. Anything on the menu I mentioned she was allergic to. When she left, without eating, my daughter said, "How does she stay so fat if she can't eat anyting?" "She did not say she was allergic to sugar or chocolate."

only because if you completely eliminate gluten from your diet it is hard to introduce it again

it became a craze for a while to eliminate it but if there is no reason to do so, it doesn't help your body so why bother

now if you have celiac disease (Celiac disease is caused by a reaction to gliadin - a gluten protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and sometimes oats) then you have to eliminate it

I believe food is all about health and our health depends in great part upon our diet

Me too. Food is poison or food is medicine. One of the growing problems we all face is that more and more processed "food" barely meets the definition of food.

I love junk food and damn near anything with gluten in it. That doesn't mean it is good for me.

Paleo works for me. I eat paleo about 90% of the time. When I eat junk food or processed food it makes me feel lethargic. Protein works for me. It gives me energy. I also eat a lot of salads.

yes food is medicine and medicine is our food

I don't do well with huge quantities of meat protein, sometimes I have an excellent response, other times, meh even the smell can make me stop eating it

I try to eat a lot of veggies even my breakfast is a smoothie comprised of various amounts of greens, fruits, seeds and nut milk...I vary it

making healthy choices won't extend my life but what it will do is allow the days I have been given to be healthier, active and pain free...that is a good enough motivator for me to eat 80 clean and 20 junk

also, my definition of "junk" has altered radically...bread is junk, sugar is junk, simple carbs = junk

I am never giving up cream/milk in my coffee, the occasional carcinogenic sausage meat especially Octoberfest sausage, prime rib, or wine in any colour. :mrgreen:
