My body I've learned SUCKS at processing grains, sugar and processed milk products. I get the worst digestive upset, bloat, nausea and cramps. It's hell! And at times so bad I need a hot water bottle and bath to calm the pain.
So I read some stuff (a lot of stuff) about those particular foods. Then I read a bunch of stuff on IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), endometriosis and digestive problems in women.
The choice was clear, continue like I was and likely gain more weight while feeling miserable all the time. Or change my eating dramatically and see what happens.
I took out all grains (rice included & limited corn intake). I've dramatically limited my sugar (except fruit). And cut out all processed dairy, I still eat full fat plain yogurt.
I've lost 7 pounds so far in just under two weeks! Success FINALLY!!! I'm feeling like me again and I LOVE it. Never going back to eating what makes my body feel like garbage.
I know now that grains & sugar are the culprit, I popped some popcorn yesterday and had a nibble of chocolate and instantly the cramps, nausea, and bloat were back. I'm positive that I can live a kick ass life without grains!! Don't you think? Life isn't about pizza and crazy bread.
I'm seriously loving life right now!
Blessings,
N.
