So let's talk about it.
This week I made the huge leap in going gluten free. Crazy, I know. But I think I have a bit of insight, that maybe you might want to consider. I know the term "gluten free" is scary. I never once considered switching out of my pizza and bread diet for anything. But after doing some research, I think I found something I'm willing to (at the very least) give a shot.
1. Not everything Gluten Free is Gross!
Honestly, I think it's finding the right proportions and finding the right balance. After a few bowls of gluten free noodles, I don't even notice that there's a difference. Chocolate chip cookies are actually really good. Note that.
2. It's Not Hard.
Thinking about all the food I have to get rid of because it has gluten in it, BUT that really isn't the case. When looking at all the foods that I'm good to go with, you'd be surprised. Most restaurants have separate menus or even listed on the menu itself their options around it.
3. ALCOHOL IS OKAY.
WINE IS OKAY. I REPEAT WINE IS A-OKAY, well... most wine that is. Probably the coolest thing I read was that most of the alcohol (that I drink anyway) is gluten free. How neat is that?!
4. Feeling Good.
Even though it's only been a week(ish) I've noticed that I actually feel great. I feel like I have a whole new energy that I haven't really noticed before. Surprising, right? Me? Energy? Huh? Odd...
5. I Feel More Informed.
I honestly can say I feel like I'm more educated on the food I'm eating. I look at labels and pay attention to what's in the food I eat, which really isn't a bad idea! Everyone should be at least be informed with what I'm intaking.
Going from the girl who ate pizza 7 times a day, to a "health guru", I feel pretty accomplished. For anyone wanting a change in their diet, I would 10/10 recommend looking into a gluten free diet. Now if you'll excuse me, I have yoga. #GetZen
P.S. Yes Kenna, I can still get drunk pizza with you.
