2 weeks down!

So far the Wheat Belly Diet isn't killing me...It actually hasn't been too bad. 

My mom called me the other day and she just had her labs done last week and after being vegan for 3 months her Cholesterol dropped in all areas!  She is on cholesterol medicine and before she started the diet they told her if it didn't come down then they would have to increase her dose of medicine.  I guess my body just likes my cholesterol too much to give it up and get it lower :)

Anyone who knows me will know that my favorite food is....CEREAL!  I could eat it three times a day and never get tired of it.  I've never met a cereal I didn't like.  On the Vegan diet I could still have most of my beloved cereals.  Now I can't have them and I was really worried about it.  Miraculously I haven't missed cereal at all. There is a hot flaxseed cereal in the Wheat Belly recipes that I need to try.  Meghan has tried it and said it wasn't too bad if you like slimey hot cereal. My goal this week is to try it.

My other goal is to also try to make the spaghetti squash "pasta."  I've also found some good recipes for zuchinni lasagna where you use zuchinni in place of the noodles. 

What I've had a few times are my egg/banana pancakes which aren't too bad.  I'll post the recipe on the recipe site. 

I lost 2lbs this past week so a grand total of 5.6lbs.  Still feeling good and not missing carbs as much as I thought I would.  I've always loved dark chocolate but usually 60-70%.  the diet lets you have 90% dark chocolate.  It took me a few times to get used to it that dark but now I love having a little square of bitter dark chocolate for a sweet snack.

Until next time....
