Hello to all of you in this group. I am not sure if this is how I will eat forever but I do have a diet that is somewhat restrictive because of food allergy/sensitivities. This has forced me to significantly change how I eat. It most closely resembles the paleo I believe. I do not do dairy, gluten and several other grains, soy, coconut, and yams. I do potatoes and rice some and have found even the gluten free breads sometimes cause a reaction as well.

If anyone would like to become friends I would welcome that. I am looking forward to learning more about this way of living.

    I would suggest that you reconsider coconut. Despite the fat, and actually because of it, I consider it a Super Food. I eat coconut oil and/or milk every single day and when I do that I have the best results and feel AMAZING. My weight loss is accelerated by coconut. Strange, I know, considering what we are told about fat day after day...

    Also, if you are willing to eat some processed grain products, rice and potatoes; why do you avoid yams? Carbs sure, but they are healthy. i don't personally eat yams right now, but will once I have my health in order.

    Gluten free breads are still grain and processed so some of us will still have difficulty with them. I tried going just gluten-free, hoping that other grains would work for me, but they don't. All grains and legumes lead me to binge and struggle with food addiction.

    Just my opinion.

    Best wishes on your health journey. :)

    Coconut and yams I have allergic reactions to. So that is why I do not use them. It is not a paleo diet per say or a primal for that matter. But it seems similiar in many aspects. I do rice and potatoes because there are just some meals you would like a little more with. This is a learning process and this seems to be a group that is similiar to how I am currently eating.
