I bet he will also notice a change in not getting sick as much too!

I've been eating quite similarly (in part by both medical circumstances and choice) for quite some time now, and can truly attest to how much of a difference it's made for me in terms of helping with some of my health problems and also giving me more energy on a day-to-day basis. To help combat his diabetes (and to loose weight), Tony recently started following a ketogenic diet (which encompasses some of these same principles) has already seen results in less than two weeks (his blood sugar levels have dropped dramatically, which we're both ecstatic about!). <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277934393505020880.post-73640501059064455742012-12-23T20:57:19.719-08:002012-12-23T20:57:19.719-08:00I don't think whether or not the zero-calorie ...I don't think whether or not the zero-calorie things are made in a lab makes a difference for the metabolic impact. I think there are a couple good articles about it from Science News, but the basic theory is that not actually giving your body sugars when it thinks it's getting them screws with your insulin, since your body gets geared up to have sugar happen and then has to switch gears. It's not an immediate feeling, like a sugar crash, but can build up over time... Anyway, something to keep in mind for the long run. And I SO agree about making things yourself... not only is there much more portion control, but you know exactly what's in them!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213240635054488156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277934393505020880.post-85727608975869657592012-12-23T14:04:27.019-08:002012-12-23T14:04:27.019-08:00Interesting list Joanna and I would love to invest...Interesting list Joanna and I would love to investigate this more.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137528629664671846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277934393505020880.post-27600950042202481082012-12-23T13:24:09.569-08:002012-12-23T13:24:09.569-08:00I know that when I first gave up wheat I was surpr...I know that when I first gave up wheat I was surprised by just the amount of "water weight" I was carrying around. There are some people it doesn't effect with weight but it did directly effect me just not like celiacs. I think if you have to have grains trying the ancient grains is a good alternative:) Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439393534029787165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277934393505020880.post-55728872703782613372012-12-23T13:20:38.790-08:002012-12-23T13:20:38.790-08:00I hope you are able to fine some:) I have some gr...I hope you are able to fine some:) I have some great recipes if you need some ideas. Also, if you can get blanched almond flour vs unblanched this is better. It just the difference in fineness and also blanched does not include the darker outer layer making it a slight lighter color in appearance. I buy mine from Honeyville Flour. But, this is a US supplier. I've heard of Bob's Red Mill being overseas....your local health food store should carry some:)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439393534029787165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277934393505020880.post-18075073243960504352012-12-23T12:24:06.619-08:002012-12-23T12:24:06.619-08:00I had never heard of almond flour before this list...I had never heard of almond flour before this list, I love almonds so I'm really keen to try out some baking with that - I just need to find somewhere that stocks it :)Jennie Dresseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779463840401624754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277934393505020880.post-84742853887432358622012-12-23T11:03:56.548-08:002012-12-23T11:03:56.548-08:00I agree that most of these are much better for the...I agree that most of these are much better for the body, but I guess I'm just a picky person and have a block about trying them. I switched from white breads to whole wheat and personally I feel like it does digest better and keeps me feeling fuller longer, where as with most white breads I didn't have that full feeling and ended up reaching for a snack that wasn't healthy for me to quench my appetite.<br />seannaapprovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09546047220109216505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277934393505020880.post-35274537051866485462012-12-23T09:44:58.026-08:002012-12-23T09:44:58.026-08:00Thanks for your comment Francis. I appreciate yo...Thanks for your comment Francis. I appreciate your insights!! I agree it's up to the individual. I chose to give up wheat and it's been a good thing for me. Also, I agree about sugar alternatives. You have to be careful. Splenda is not good. Did you know it was made in a lab? Artificial sweeteners are not good. Just Like Sugar is made directly from a chicory root so I feel safe using it. And again, I make sweet things but I don't make them everyday and apart of every meal. They are are a treat but I do find when I cook with almond flour that you don't want to eat as much and you feel quite full and don't feel the sugar crash of say going to Dunkin Donuts and indulging in a transfat donut:) Another thing I've found is that if you have to actually cook these things yourself you eat less of them lol. But, I think it's the fact that if I want carrot cake, cheese cake, chocolate cake, I can without any guilt or worry of gaining weight. I've also found that since I've given up wheat if I do eat even a little bit of it now....I don't feel good. So, I do think in some respects I was allergic to it. I say to people to give it a try and do what they think is best for them:) I think even cutting back on processed foods would be a win win.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439393534029787165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277934393505020880.post-20145314655542570392012-12-23T09:02:33.910-08:002012-12-23T09:02:33.910-08:00Nice list!

I agree with almost everything... of course, cutting out wheat entirely is not for everyone, but cutting back can help a lot (there's gluten in so many things, something I learned when we discovered my granddad had celiac!)... BUT! I'm completely opposed to sugar alternatives. They mess with your brain and metabolism, because your body gets confused about how to respond to "sweet" flavors. I think it's better to just use real sugars, especially less refined ones, sparingly... and your body can be weaned from its sweets obsession, and I say this as a girl who once had the world's worst sweet tooth.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08213240635054488156noreply@blogger.com
