Menu Plan Monday – January 26

I had a suspicion that it was wheat that was causing my stomach to swell to 3 month’s pregnancy size and why I would feel like I had a hangover in the morning or want to fall asleep at my desk in the middle of the day. The challenge? I LOVE BREAD. The other challenge? Even when I didn’t eat bread I would still get headaches and fatigue. My thought process? It must not be bread causing me to feel bad! However, I eat a whole foods plant based diet and knew I should be feeling better than I was so I decided to work with Diane for 30 days. Diane shared all the hidden sources of gluten and provided me with fantastic resources and strategies for getting it out of my diet for 30 days. The result? I learned it wasn’t just bread making me sick, it was GLUTEN! I lost weight, lost the bloat, lost the headaches and found my natural energy again. Trust me, once you start feeling great, you’ll do whatever it takes to stay feeling great. I continue to use the strategies that Diane taught me and can’t say enough great things about her knowledge, patience, genuine empathy and resourcefulness. She’s also fun to talk to!"
