Reflecting back on the two weeks I have so far conquered bread free, I think the largest challenge has just been willpower. I don't think my body is actually missing anything, but I have had some serious cravings for things I have habitually been eating for my whole life. Going hand in hand with these cravings is the caution I am trying to exercise in not just replacing the bread with too many bread substitutes or alternate not-wheat bread products.
The longer I go though, the easier it is.
Starting today I am adding new eliminations.
No deep fried items. These are mostly breaded anyway, so not a huge deal, but it edges out fast food french fries which are dancing across my dream-tastebuds as I type this. I could seriously fall into a bad groove of large McFries too many times a week, so out they go. This also eliminates the easily purchased hashbrowns, another positive elimination.
At the 4 week/1 month mark I think I am going to eliminate onions/garlic. That is going to be tough.
I am still leaving the really hard ones, fructose and soy, until after I speak to a doctor.
Weight today: 269.6lbs.
Down down down we go.
Also impending: I am going to chose an exercise program. A martial art or something. I need some framework to the exercise portion of the new health order.
