When I make GF pizza at home, the various doughs work out to be ~190 cals per serving, assumming 8 servings for a 12-inch crust. When I eat GF pizza out, I take the calories from the closest regular option in the list. For example: pepperoni GF pizza - use Paul Neuman's Pepperoni Pizza option from the database. Macros…

I pack snacks I am okay with for work and being out and about. I also work really hard to drink lots of water/tea. These two things usually help me keep cravings at bay. I also have realized I eat more when I am tired or emotionally negative. I try to get enough sleep, and I am working on incorporating healthier options…

Feel free to join the Gluten-free group here on MFP - lots of information on a gluten-free lifestyle! My husband has Celiac's, and it was quite a diet shift for us, since we used to eat out a lot. I won't question your doctor's advice, and will just say that when my husband's blood test came back indicating potential…

I'd love a good recipe to replicate graham crackers if you have one. One of my husband's favorite desserts was No-Bake Eclair, which used graham crackers as the crust and layer separation. No luck finding a decent (not horribly expensive) replacement. Everything I have found either A) sucks or B) is super high in calories…

My husband has Coeliac too, and it's been quite an adjustment over the last few years. I do not have Coeliac, but for my sanity in the kitchen, we all eat the same thing. I'm in the US so not sure what your brand availability is. Here are a bunch of brands we exclusively buy for his safety. For spices, we use McCormick's…

I'm rewarding myself with new music every 5 pounds right now. Since I rarely buy music, it's been quite the motivator to finally have a reason to spend the money on stuff I like :D. I second the other ideas! When I get to half-way, I'm going to splurge with a super-nice massage package.

Morning! I haven't noticed anything relating to gluten affecting my period, but I have had some issues with birth control significantly changing things. I would talk to your doctor to confirm that something isn't wrong with the implant first and formost. For my experience, I have rings, and my period was all over the place…

Hmm, those studies are very interesting. I'm a little suprised the drug trial was looking for reduction of symptoms and signs rather than reduction of the body's reaction to gluten. In my mind, there's no use having a pill that makes eating gluten feel as good as eating something else if the villi still die in the long run…

If you have an Xbox Live Gold account, you can buy the demos to try and see if you like them. If not, the store might have demos set up for them. I only tried the Zumba one, but I didn't like it as much as my DVDs. It was too complex during the song, and too much down-time between the songs for my taste. My sister-in-law…

I'm gluten-limited by association. The hubby has Celiac, and so I cook gluten-free exclusively at home. I do allow myself small servings of breads, etc. when out and for lunches, but can't do regular pastas frequently anymore - system's not used to it.

It really depends on my mood. Today it was Demon Hunter on my lunchtime walk. When I'm dancing in my chair at work, it's most often Michael Buble.

Yes, good point - I pay attention to the shredded cheese more than bricked cheese. My local store brand does not happen to add wheat starch, so we are safe there.

I'm in the USA, but my favorite non-specialty store for GF shopping is Stop & Shop. I can't tell if they have a UK location, since work blocks most stuff on websites. As to GF pasta/bread substitutes, we prefer the brand "Shar", which is Italian. I used to order it off Amazon, but then our local Stop & Shop started…

I weigh them because I'm still learning what a proper portion looks like, especially in fruits. Apparently my "medium" orange is about twice the size of the "medium" oranges in the database, so I've taken to weighing them in order to be more accurate. I get hungry easily, so being more accurate allows me to avoid eating…

I use approximately 1.5 cups water per every cup dry brown rice. I put it all together in the pan and let it come to a boil, then cover, turn it on low, and simmer approximately 20-30 minutes until most of the water is boiled off. It takes fine like this. If I'm feeling adventurous, I use Gluten-Free chicken broth in place…

tagging for later.

I don't risk it when I buy for my husband. He has Celiac, so even if he doesn't have a reaction, he could be affected if there was gluten in it.

Cottage cheese - love the stuff! I have to package it right away into serving-size portions, and then hide it in the back of the fridge. If I attempt to leave it in easy view, gone!

Tagging to save for later!! Sounds wonderful :)

Hi All, Been on MFP now for 2 months, and would like some friends for additional motivation! I'm 27 and from CT, and am trying to get back to an appropriate weight. Feel free to add me!
