WHEAT BELLY DOWN!!!

So I admit, I'm the worst blogger in the world.  The 3 months of Wheat Belly happened at a crazy time in my life.  I bought a new place and had to pack and move and clean and it has ruled my life for the past 3 months.  I do have to say I give credit to people who can blog all the time.

I didn't try many wheat belly recipes so that was a downside of this diet.  Overall the Wheat Belly wasn't bad at all. I was expecting much worse. 

One of my friends talked me into doing a Dietbet.  Pretty much you join a game or make your own and there is fee to pay.  They are all different amounts and then you have to lose 4% of your body weight in 28 days.  You have to submit pics weighing in and weighing out and then if you lose 4% you get part of the pot.  So we both paid $25 and both lost our 4% and just found out that we won $40.35!  I hate losing money so it was a big motivator for me.  I'm planning on doing another one starting next week sometime.

I lost 16.3 lbs on the diet.  My goal was 20lbs but I'll take the 16.3lbs anyday!! I think I was even more excited when I saw my labs this morning!

LABS:
1/02/13 (before starting diets)          4/01/13 (after Vegan)       7/1/13 (After Wheat Belly)
Total Cholesterol 226                       236                                    179
Triglycerides       245                       218                                      95
LDL (bad cholesterol) 136               147                                     109
HDL (good Cholesterol) 40              45                                       38.4

Other than my HDL, I don't think my cholesterol has ever been this low! So this diet was a success on a few levels. 
On to paleo!
