Intro Into Gluten-Free Goodness

Hey and thanks for stopping by today! Now, going gluten-free can be a bit intimidating and I'd like to ease you into the gluten-free world. First and foremost, going gluten-free it a lot easier then you think. It's about changing the way you see food and how you adapt to a new lifestyle. This intro post will give you some tips on how to make the necessary changes and how to make the transition a little easier.

A great way to think about going gluten-free is going natural. True this can be interpreted in many different ways but think of it as buying food in its most natural state. For example, opting to buy the fresh spinach and cauliflower over the frozen vegetable mixture in a butter sauce. It can also mean buying grass fed ground beef over the bargain 70/30, meat to fat ratio, ground beef.  Buying organic or fresh food can be expensive but there are ways to get around it; which I'll go over in another post.                                                                                                                                Spring Vegetables: Source: Flickr: Darya Pino


Being educated on how your food is processed is key to going gluten-free as well. For example, buying the cheaper brand of chicken today could make you pay more later. Think of it this way, whatever the animal eats, you eat too. Although there are many gluten-free baked goods and snack on the market, you still need to read the labels.
