Wow. I had a cousin who did this after he was having horrible acne and other skin problems. He loves it and after the experience has become much wiser about food in general. As he says "I eat to live, not live to eat" which is an attitude brought on I think by realizing how much of an affect different foods have on your body and your mind.

That's super interesting. I did notice that I had very clear, more radient skin while doing the South Beach Diet, but I never connected the giving up of wheat and almost all dairy to that. I figured it was from the more vegetables. It's quite easy to give up wheat and processed carbs like sugar once you get organized and find delicious substitutes.

I've been gluten-free since September. People just don't realize how much better they can feel by making some dietary changes. Celiac disease and food intolerances can cause such a drastic reduction in our quality of life. It's a shame that there is not more public awareness of maladies caused by foods that we eat.

Hmmmmm........I tried one similar - no foods that were white - worked. However, I love milk (even though I drink skim)........good luck

No way - this is so neat! Thanks for sharing. I don't know if I'd ever have the dedication to be able to stick to something like this though, so I'm really proud of you!

It is hard since you do have to look at the ingreadiants that is in everything you eat. However, there are great subsitutions like flax seed, corn, rice milk, soybean/soymilk. I have not weighed myself since I started but also I have been drinking alot of water. Also I have noticed my need to eat has gone down to the point where I have to remind myself to eat. I also eat less portions of food now. I love organic and natural products...well worth the money.

I completely agree. I went on one of these diets to combate Crohn's disease. Not only did it put me into complete remission (3 years strong!!), but it drastically improved my energy and concentration. It's tough at first, but like anything else you eventually get used to it. It's worth a little sacrafice to feel this good!!

Wow , making drastic dietary changes like that would be touch. I guess it is easier when you really notice the difference. I would not want to give up my dairy products especially .
