Grains

One thing I forgot to mention is that I am also not eating much in the way of grains either - except quinoa occasionally. So no wheat, corn, rice, barley, buckwheat, etc. I do have a bit here and there, but truly, 80% or more of my diet is only vegetables. It is a challenge at parties, potlucks, restaurants, but so far, even with a little "off time" I've been able to manage staying "on" and feel better because of it! When I do taste some of the prepared sweets, etc., only a bite will do and it usually doesn't really taste that great! It's my memories of certain foods that make me want to try them again, but the taste and the way my body feels afterwards, remind me of why I prefer my simple foods!  So it will be interesting to see what I come up with at the restaurant!
