I was recently introduced to the concept of Gluten Free and let me tell you being Italian and not being able to have breads is really quite hard. I was told that I might have a sensitivty to Gluten (Wheat) and to try some gluten free things and see how I do. Well so far I feel less bloated and I actually enjoy the gluten free foods all except for the gluten free bread....Yes not so hot! So I've become creative when it boils down to sandwiches I either eat my lunch meat in rolls of their own or take a lettuce leaf and wrap my lunchmeats in that. Occasionally I also will eat my lunchmeats with Almond Crackers (Nut Thins- Blue Diamond) and its both yummy and crunchy! I also recently tried some gluten free recipes such as the Canellini Bean Salad which consist of Cannellini Beans, Cucumbers, Red Pepper, Red Wine Vinegar, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Sea Salt/ Pepper and Oregano.....let me tell you this is def a yummy in the tummy type of snack! :) That's just to name one...soon in another post I will post some links of where to find some awesome Gluten Free Recipes! :)

Logging your food is a great tool because it will show you exactly how many calories you intake daily. I use livestrong.com/myplate and it helps me too stay on top of only eating 1200 calories six days a week with one alotted "cheat day"....Oh boy how I love those cheat days! This system has a graph also so it shows how much of your food is carbs, protein and fat as well as being able to track your water intake daily also. I normally in take between 10-12 glasses of water per day. I reccommend anyone trying to lose weight to document what you eat on a daily basis whether that is having a small food journal or using a system such as livestrong.com/myplate
Hope this Helps!
