Tips To Grain Free and a Happier You

Going gluten free can be easy. Start small and work your way up. This page is high-level tips to help get you started without over-complicating things. 

Typically when people go gluten free, it's because they're feeling a certain way or trying to feel better. Going gluten free, however, does not mean that you are eliminating toxins. This is why it is silly when people say they are going gluten free for health/weight reasons. Gluten free can exist in most anything- which may make you happy- but may not be why you're sick!

As per my 'Rules of Grain Free Engagement' lets define a few things:

1. We do not diet on this page. Diet fads only lead to more weight gain and are not healthy for you. I recommend reading Intuitive Eating to align best with this page. 

2. Because we are non-dieters, I believe in finding ways to eat whatever you can/want in ways that your body can consume/process them. 

3. I use diet and eliminate different. Diets are not the greatest and we view all food as equals. Which is why cake, cookies, brownies, etc. are all OKAY to consume. Our bodies, however, cannot always digest or consume these things due to a multitude of reasons. Elimination, however, can be beneficial for periods of time to help your body determine what is causing inflammation. Learning to bake these goods with alternate ingredients also helps. 

4. Grain Free reduces the ingredients we are baking/cooking with and uses whole ingredients

5. I primarily bake with whole, non processed ingredients

6. We love all foods and eat meats

7. Seven Ingredients or less per baked good/meal makes peoples lives easier! It's simple!
