Yes, I’ve noticed that the amount of packaged and convenience foods that I eat now that I’ve been GF for 2 months has gone down drastically. I am trying to lose weight though too through a national program and most low calorie convenience type stuff is also off limits now. This can be very frustrating. I’m still having a hard time at the weekly meetings when they talk about all the gluten filled foods they are eating! Right now I’m still in the discovery phase so my weight loss efforts have been on the back burner so to speak. I’ve also noticed that a lot of GF stuff is NOT low calorie (GF bread anyone?). I’m glad that MONTINA is high fiber at least.

Recently, my mother-in-law (!) turned me on to peanut butter and bacon as a sandwich combo. I am in love . . .

I agree! Finding out about being celiac, and learning to eat gluten free, meant that I learned a lot more about what goes into food – and what goes into my mouth!

I can’t say I wouldn’t give this knowledge up for a fully functional intestinal system, but knowing what I know about food now is definetly something to be happy about

I cook for college students. Several years ago I had about ten vegetarians in the group. I had to prepare meat-free entrees for them. The problem was, they didn’t really like vegetables. It was maddening!

South Beach and Atkins have cut down the ranks of college vegetarians. I have one this year.

I agree with your healthy eating point. Celiac has eliminated all my mindless eating. I eat three healthy meals a day. I miss eating junk food only when I watch other people eating it. I try to avoid that.

Haha, that is so funny about the bacon. When I went “vegitarian” I could not give up hot dogs! They were my guilty pleasure.
