Stop putting food before you health.

I know what you are all going to say.  “What!” There is no question that humans just love food! Especially those sugary starchy bready goodies! Am I right?

Take a look at this picture. Would you eat this? Did you even think about the way this donut will make you feel afterwards? You see something good ad just grab it, because it is yummy. The stomach ache, itchy eyes from allergies, joint pain, or headache come and go on a daily basis, but you have classified these symptoms as ones that people just live with…right?

 

I hate to break it to you, but these symptoms are actually signs that your body is SICK! Grain can be so damaging to the body, in almost every way possible! Most grain products on the shelves in the US are probably GMO and untraditionally prepared. To make things worse, grain products are on the bottom of the USDA food pyramid. This can’t be farther from the truth, out body’s don’t want this!

 

The correct food pyramid

Take a look at this pyramid (click here). I bet it looks completely different to what you remember it as. Sadly this is not the USDA food pyramid (I will be jumping off the walls when it does! Ha!). For now this is the food pyramid traditional foodies abide by. Fat and meat every day, yes please!

Do you see the grains way up at the tippy top. That is how grain is supposed to be eaten. But why am I telling you to “go-grain free”. This is because the grain crops in the USA are so hybridized, GMO, pesticide-messed-up. Not only that but if you do eat grain, then it has to be carefully and properly soaked and prepared.

 

Leaky gut

So now you are thinking, well I can just prepare my grains in a proper way and then I can eat my bread. Not so fast! Did you ever take antibiotics? Did you suffer from allergies, sensitivities, muscle aches, get sick more then 1 or 2 times a year, or have a brain disorder (ADHA, anxiety, depression..etc.). These are symptoms of a leaky gut!

A leaky gut is when the big food molecules pass through your gut lining into your blood stream, where they are then marked as foreign invaders. This triggers the body to have an autoimmune reaction. Autoimmune is when your body actually starts to attack itself! The worse off you are, the more likely the chance for you to develop another autoimmune disorder. You can see where this is going…

Do you know what aggravates leaky gut the most and causes it to develop this autoimmune response in the first place? Grain! Grain is one of the most aggravating and hard to digest foods. That is why special care was taken for centuries in cultures to properly prepare grains.

 

Stop the Grain!

Since you probably have not had GMO-free and properly prepared grains since birth, you are most likely sensitive to them. The only way to stop your body from fighting against you is to STOP GRAIN! There might be other food triggers that cause your body harm, but going grain free if a HUGE start!

Grain free saved my life!

Sounds way too over the top and cheesy, huh?!  I am not joking when I said going grain free “saved my life!”

 

I knew I had food allergies when I was young. Nobody in my family would go on the elimination diet with me (what 5 year old would do it by themselves?), so I continued to eat what everyone else did. We did buy whole organic grain, but we had no clue to what soaking meant. That didn’t really matter though because I had a leaky gut to start with, from all the antibiotics.

 

My symptoms escalate

As the years went on I got allergies, stomachaches, eczema, cavities, weight loss, swelling, and the list can go on forever! Remember these were just my symptoms, and yours will be different. When I went off of dairy and soy, I felt a tad better, though my health actually started to get worse! I was still eating grains like corn, oatmeal, and some “healthy” whole grain options. I needed a big smack in the face and this class to show me the way!

At age 15 I would ride my bike to the local library. I dug my nose deep in nutrition books to try finding food to make for a “healthy body”. I only flipped pages and saw carbohydrates in the form of grain almost with ever meal suggestion. “There must be another way to get carbs”, I thought!

 

Lost in the grain-free world!

I had no clue where to start (where were you Grain free class?). I spent many hundreds of dollars on doctor’s visits, and supplements, but really nothing worked! My dad and mom were getting super stressed because the money was just being drained away. I actually just naturally stopped eating grain when I became 16, just because I would get a terrible stomachache and lay in bed for days after I ate it.

Eating grain was simply not worth taking my life away!

I had to stop going full time to high school. I quit volleyball and running and spent most of the time on the toilet or in bed. My stomach was so swollen but my bones started to stick out (it was a strange thing to look at). I was slowly dying inside; my body was eating itself away. I was lifeless.

 

Gluten-free is not enough!

Of course after getting a test run from my naturopath, she spotted a little number in the corner that almost make her jump out of her seat! My gluten count in my body was higher then the average person! How could this be…I don’t eat any gluten? My diet was pretty much chicken, fish, fat and some veggies at that time.

I switched doctors about a month later, so I brought the same shocking test results along. After 1 more test, I found the culprit. My body was cross-reacting to different grains, thinking their shape was the same as gluten! When my body ate corn, it saw its shape and treated it like it would gluten! So my body was still attacking itself, namely my thyroid (hashimotos) which was why I was always tired.

Things immediately changed. I was banned from all grain products in every form! I went to the extreme like grain-free body products (my shampoo had wheat in it!), no homeopathic’s or vanilla in alcohol (alcohol is made of grain), and no supplements with “hidden” sources of grain. Grain is tricky and, it can be labeled as all sorts of funky words.

 

Cross Contamination

I also had problem with cross contamination with gluten products. No longer was cooking or baking with flour an option. If some flour was accidentally left on the counter and my food touched it, I felt sick. I learned quickly not to use the toaster or the same cutting board that bread went on.

I had to stop baking altogether, and this made me so sad because baking was my fun and de-stress time. I would wake up the next day (even though I didn’t eat it) and feel hung over or drugged (I have never drank, but I am guessing that is what it feels like).  Once I learned that grain-free flours existed, I was  excited to start experimenting again. A whole new world or cooking opened up! Sometimes people can be more sensitive to small amounts of gluten (like me) so going completely grain free is the best option!

100% Grain-free and happy as can be!

Now that I am completely 100% grain free, by body has stopped attacking itself and my symptoms are disappearing. My body is not the same as it used to be, though I don’t doubt the amazing healing powers of the human body. I am positive it will fully recover someday (soon!) with a grain-free diet. If we take something harmful away from our body and nourish it with the right tools (grain-free diet) then it will recover.

I had to learn the hard way; don’t go down the same road as I did (trust me, it is not fun!)  Educate and prepare yourself today, not tomorrow or next week. This grain-free class gives me the hope that everyone can someday go grain-free!

Take control of your life!

I had to go grain free, but even if I didn’t, I think I would want to! People who go grain free seem to have a lot more energy, clearer skin, and less illness! Who wouldn’t want that in their life? The question is, is grain really worth eating if it is destroying your health? You may not see the signs now, but your body is being harmed, and it’s just a matter of time. Set the example for your family and friends and show them what health really means!

The Grain-free class?

Grain free is yummy!

Going grain free does not mean broccoli and chicken every day. Of course not! I bet you can recreate almost every “grain” food with “grain-free” ingredients. Brownies, pancakes, scones, pizza…yes please! This grain-free class is the BEST e-course for learning how to go grain-free. It can be time consuming to research and test good recipes. I finally have a few good recipes, but that is after year of trial and error (I don’t know how much my family appreciated that either).

 

The cost $$

Don’t be shocked by the price. Think about how much a few grain-free cookbooks will cost? Or supplements or medication to try and make you “feel better” form your grain-eating habits. For me, sometimes time is worth more than it costs.

I have to admit, many times I get ingredients to make something grain-free and I have to end up tossing it because it just doesn’t turn out. I wish I had started this class 3 years ago when I started grain-free!

This class is worth way more than what you will pay for it. Trust me; you will not want to go through life without making these absolutely delicious foods! Your body will thank you 1000x 🙂
