Everything finally came together in week 3 of my diet.  I was eating right and exercising.  I was looking forward to my Friday weigh-in. On Friday, I got on the scale…. 208.  NO CHANGE!!! How could this be?  I had my best week yet perfecting my diet and did the most exercise.  Was I eating too many calories?  Was I eating too little with the amount of workouts I was doing?  Was my last weigh in with very little water in my body and this week with a lot?  What’s the deal? Overall, I am not too frustrated by it… but really hoping for a better weigh-in next week. 2 tips:...

Sorry this doesn’t really relate to gluten free, but we did go to PF Chang’s afterward where they have a gluten free menu!  I did put it on Twitter(@switch2gf) hours before it was going to happen, because she isn’t on Twitter. I really just need a place for my family, friends, and everyone else to see this video, and this is the easiest place! “Mike & Stephanie got engaged on Saturday, January 9th, 2010 on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. First, they went to happy hour with her sister, Jessica, and her boyfriend, Matt. Earlier in the week, Mike invited 25 of...

OK, Who has one? Anyone switching to the gluten free lifestyle? Anyone committing 100%? Anyone vowing not to ever cheat again? . . January 1st, 2010, will be my 1 year 100% committment to being gluten free! Now that I think I have mastered the gluten free diet, I plan to set some new health goals including the GF diet. My 2010 resolution will be to lose weight on a gluten free diet.  I have a relaxing trip planned to Costa Rica at the end of March, so that is my main motivation for losing weight.  I have set the goal of losing 30lbs in the 12 weeks prior to our departure.  My diet will start...

A while back someone asked me “what are some good foods to eat when you are sick?”  I don’t get sick too often, BUT today I am!  It seems like when you are sick, you crave unhealthy, soothing foods. I really want to hear from you about what you eat when you are sick. My personal favorites: Orange Sherbet Warm Apple Cider Orange Juice Soups Here is a screen shot of General Mills Progresso Soups that are gluten free:

This is the most educational video I have ever seen on celiac and gluten intolerance.  It starts out very basic, then gets in-depth about what is actually going on in the body and why.  Then it goes into the history of celiac.  I had never heard the history elsewhere, so trust it if you want. Showing this video would be a great way to explain celiac to someone.  Even when I tell people what it means to be gluten intolerant, I can’t get the idea across this well.

Do you play in traffic, blindfolded? Have you ever played Russian Roulette? Do you pray for cancer? Do you eat gluten? Yes or No?  Simple question. - Terina, the author of Gluten Free Reality, recently wrote an article about cheating on a gluten free diet.  Check it out HERE.(I’ll call that one- Chapter 2)  To say the least… it got me a little fired up at 2:30AM, so I decided to write a Chapter 3.  Her recent article was actually a follow-up on one of her previous articles: HERE.  (Chapter 1) Here are a few excerpts from Terina’s articles: “I’ve been relistening...
