Grain Free

I tend to say gluten free, but what I'm really aiming for is Grain Free.  And here's a good article about it:

I knew this was probably right for me because I had been having this addiction to tortilla chips.  That is really all I wanted to eat.  Sometimes, that is all I would eat.  So tasty.  But every time I ate them, it felt like my cheeks would swell up.  It's the same feeling I get if I eat a lot of sugar.

I think since I started taking gelatin, the craving are easy to give up.  When I was having my daily smoothie with gelatin in it, I had no trouble.  But today, after five or so days with no smoothie, I'm eating candy and wishing I had some chips.    I will try to have some broth or tea with gelatin in the mornings for awhile.  Maybe that will help.

Today:
2 eggs, sweet potato, bacon & onion
1 banana
4 pieces of candy (2 kisses, 2 pieces of chocolate bar)
2 cups sweet potato soup (sweet potato, onion, broth, coconut milk, gelatin)
1 mandarin orange
Tea with a bit of milk
Omelette with ham and raw milk cheddar, salsa

10 push ups
1 1/2 hour walk with Emma(daughter) and Jack(dog)

I felt much better today than yesterday.  I didn't even do too badly on Christmas, I thought.  But must have had just enough of something to give me the bitchies.
Obviously didn't stick with the dairy-free idea today.  Maybe I'll try that one later.  Not much food in the house, and can't go shopping until this weekend.  Thankfully, my nice Daddy brought us some bacon and eggs.
