After reading the book myself, I've been trying to not keep any processed foods in our house. I've been trying not to have sugar as well. The "good doctor" talks about how these things will play into "appetite" and more. Three months now of doing this plan---about 20 lbs lost and much, much more as far as health and well-being is being seen in a positive light. I think for anyone to make a judgement---they would have to go on this plan for 30 to 60 days THEN tell the world how it's affected them. I've seen testimonial after testimonial on how great this food plan has been! Get the book and read it!!!~

First off, Congratulations on losing 20 pounds!!!
A little about me- I have lost 50 pounds and have maintained that loss for the last 4 years. I did this by watching my carbs (50%), fats (25%), and protein (25%). And of course exercising, my choice is walking (10,000 steps), and lifting a little, almost daily. I am a moderation girl. I am "in fact" allergic to these items, I carry an Epipen with me. I can produce my allergist name and my Rx number if you would like. I was diagnosed with these allergies on August 2012. And I have read this book, and many others on this topic. I am not a celiac or gluten intolerance. I am just allergic to wheat and the other items I mentioned above. I didn't state that I was following this plan. I am not an expert on anything. I just know what works best for me.
I do like a non dairy yogurt occasionally and I do like a cereal bar at times. Even then I have to be careful and read the ingredients, because it may state gluten free, but it may still have wheat in it.
I don't buy any type of flour or sugar anymore. Most processed items are out as well. I try to eat as clean as possible. I do occasionally like an allergy free-cereal bar or a yogurt, and sometimes I push the envelope with these allergies. It's hard to give up things you love, at least it is for me. Luckily I haven't had to use the Epipen, and hopefully I never will.
My question was- Where can I find gluten/wheat free items or non dairy items here or around The Villages? We did check out Fresh Market yesterday, not much there in these lines. Sorry for the confusion guys.
Create a healthy day!
