So it’s the 31st and I’m proud to say I made it!

I won’t say I was the most creative or that my diet was the most varied (I ate more of our Soy Delight mock chicken salad than I’d like to admit), but I kept to my promise and I didn’t eat any meat! I’m excited about the coming month – now that my “warm-up” is over, we’re getting in to the REAL lifestyle changes.

I took to twitter today to ask for any advice or tips on a new gluten-free eater. Some of the input was encouraging and helpful:

Gross, husband!

Do you have anything to add? I’m working on a list of common and more surprising foods containing gluten. As a bread addict and chronic carb-muncher, I’m a little worried about going through withdrawal. For those of you who have made the switch, how was your adjustment period? Did you notice any side effects? Do you have any advice for me? Leave it in the comments or email me here with your input.
