G2F

Definition time! G2F is my way of saying gluten & grain free. I've decided to experiment with this lifestyle and see how it goes. It has certainly been a fun and interesting challenge culinarily. Definitely makes you think outside of the box and question everything that goes into your body. Though I am not going to be as strict as the Wheat Belly or Paleo diets, would have you go. I am eliminating/severely limiting wheat/gluten, rice and corn products from my diet. Bean and starch consumption will be limited as well. Honestly, it all boils down to a low carb diet, so it's not super complicated. My focus is mostly have tons of veggies and plenty of proteins. Since it's a bit difficult to find premade foods that meet my requirements, I cannot rely on traditional GF foods. They also tend to be full of junk. I must make everything from scratch. Most baked goods end up tasting like cornbread, which isn't completely bad, but certainly a change from what I am used to. I did end up making some pretty good Chocolate Chip cookies, though. Usually, when someone mentions going on a very restrictive diet, the first question is, "Well what DO you eat?". I will be sharing a few recipes and pics of the meals I've had. Here goes nothing...
