Thank you all for your replies and private messages! I have really learnt a lot more about the benefits of gluten free and will definitely continue it in my lifestyle. And about the whole money making thing.. I have not spent a cent on any silly books or products, so I can't imagine where they would be making money from me…

Thanks Jack's mum for your response, but this actually wasn't the question that I asked. If you can tolerate gluten, you are so lucky and I envy you! And it's not weird at all that you can function well with it. Peoples digestive systems don't function the same, and I actually posted this for people who have gut problems…

Hey all, Sorry If I have offended anyone. I simply wanted to share some solutions to anyone else who has had similar problems that I have had in the past. They are uncomfortable conditions and just wanted to lend some support. I was really impressed with the results that I got and thought I'd share the love! Sorry :frown:…

Ohms - What you have described is almost exactly what most patients at our clinic explain to us. If you have never completely gut out grain (gluten) for an extended peroid of time I would definitely recommend this. I had been low wheat for many years and seen a massave change in myself, but It wasn't until I went strict…

Really? What happens if you don't leave 48 hours?

Same! and I love mine. I have actually left it on for hours after the gym without noticing! Just because it sits underneath your bra boning and is so comfortable.

I would love to help out with the recipe Idea's and shopping list? How many people do you cook for? And how much time a night do you have for meal preparations? how many calories do you plan on eating a day? I spend under an hour in the kitchen a night preparing/cooking dinner (including cooking time) Although I am cooking…

I usually have one egg and a thin rash of bacon for breaky, and if I have time I'll make a green smoothie packed with kale. The egg and bacon work well and sustain energy thoughout the day, but I feel like I need more but I really don't want to be eating 2-3 eggs and 2-3 rashes of bacon in the morning. I am enjoying these…

Yes I love breakfast omelettes! And I am gluten free by choice, I am not a severe coeliac or anything but I do have reactions when I consume gluten :(

Thanks guys, I would also like to mention that I am gluten free! I do eat gf oats sometimes for a treat but I don't think steel oats are gf. And for the cottage cheese, does it really have a lot of protein? I never knew that! How would you recommend eating it? Can it be eaten with fruit or toast?

Bump! come on guys help a gal out!

Congratulations on the weighloss! I am looking to loose about 5 or so kg which is around 12 lbs. But mostly to tone. I post regularly and would love to support anyone who is trying to be the best possible version of themself! Feel free to add me, and good luck with your weightloss journey :)

Incredible! good job!

I work at a chiropractic clinic, and vegans/vegetarians always have the poorest health when compared to all of our other patients. Obviously, I completely understand your lifestyle choices, however I just wanted to let you know. I believe animals should be treated with respect, but meat has always been a big part of our…

I am 173cm talls so about 5ft 9. I'm a size 12 in the uk, mostly because of my height. But with jeans, I have to wear a size 12-14 and wear a belt because my legs are quite long. I might add an extra 300 calories to my day, but I don't really go looking for food.. Unless its some sort of treat/sweet, but I don't want to…

Try not to obsess over it. It actually sounds like you have a mild case of OCD. We have a lot of patients come into our chiropractic clinic with it, and we suggest going strict gluten free for a month and seeing how they go. The gut is referred to as the second brain, as this is where we feel emotions (butterflies in the…

Thats good! I'm living in Glasgow at the moment and I am really enjoying it. Glad you enjoyed your green smoothie, they are amazing!

Oooh oh ooh oh oooohhh!!!! I just remembered! Kale smoothies! Best breakfast ever. The kale is sooooo healthy and yummy and is the perfect breakfast. I put it in my eggs as well... but.. your allergic so the smoothie will have to do! I don't really record what I do but I'll do my best. Just alter it as you go. Kale…

It's not like I physically feel weak, I just don't get that enjoyment out of it like I used to. I might add an extra 300 calories to my day and more protein. Usually I have eggs and bacon for breaky which always helps kickstart my day! I have also been coffee free for a month now and feel fantastic.

Thanks, I will definitely start moving around more. Since being sick I am almost bedridden! and it doesn't help that theres a television in my bedroom :/

Hi there, I am gluten free as well, not for allergy's just for health reasons. I love having an egg in the morning so I understand how difficult that must be. Where abouts are you from? Oats normally have gluten in them because of some crops they are grown with, But in the UK there are farms that make gluten free oats.…

Funny one^ Thanks for the advise guys. Last month I was doing 1 hour body pump classes (which i loooove) around 4-5 times a week and could just start to notice the difference. Unfortunately, I fell sick for two weeks and now I'm back to where I started. Quite unmotivated to do exercise, as I am a lot weaker and have to use…

Living in glasgow at the moment, add me!

Thanks I will give it ago, and matt, I know its a relatively low weight goal but i need to aim high otherwise I won't do it! I'll be stoked if i get to 55kg by next australian summer.

I am 173 cms tall, so about 5ft 9 i think? Matt you have no vibe!!! haha :)

How are you finding bitflex's products? I was the flex so badly, but can't wait any longer. I have decided to get the Zip tomorrow and see how that goes. Also, I know some of their products do count stairs. It's amazing what science and technology can do, who would have thought!

Gluten free diet is great. If your going to do it, make sure you go 100% gluten free or its not worth it. 40% lean meat, 40% veg, and 20% fruit is the ideal gluten free diet. Don't bother trying to get gluten free bread or any wheat substitutes. I have been gluten free for a while now, and I feel absolutely amazing. It has…

Having small amounts of sugar is not the answer! It just teases yourself, and doesn't ease the craving! Herbal tea works really well with me, otherwise brushing your teeth as someone said earlier. Goodluck!

My I suggest investing in a bitfit zip? http://www.fitbit.com/uk/zip Very accurate and fun way to track your calories. You pretty much clip it on yourself and it monitors steps taken, calories burnt and distance travelled. I am going to buy one tomorrow, they are on sale at curry's pc world if you are in the UK. There is…
