Yes, can be a challenge to mantain weight specially for those not overweight.

To avoid loosing weight, you have to keep energy levels more constantly. Eat healthy things that give you more energy and calories.

Eat avocado, add lots of extravirgin Olive oil, eat a lot of organic flax seed oil in healthy shakes, etc. For vitamins, don't go synthetic, get Superfood from Dr. Schulze or Garden of life.

You will certainly have a LOT of sugrar cravings (they tend to dimish with time)... so eat fruit... add nuts (brazil nuts are best=. Fruits are the key to mantain you in the right direction I believe, so you don't get back to grains. Eat more frequently and don't eat ENOURMOUS meals, to aid digestion.

The good thing is that there is a huge variety in fruits... so you don't get borred.

Clean you fruits and nuts with applec cider vinegar, let it a few minutes and then rinse (to remove mold and toxins).

When you eliminate all grains, I believe that fruit is not counterproductive for those with Candida (I'm seeing that on me). I eat chocolate occasionally and other candies with no effect now.

I'm underweight too, now, but I'm starting to gain weight by doing all of this, be constant, that's the key.

You lose weight because grains are the reason for having an overweight epidemic (no matter how GOOD they taste or their toxic chemicals make you feel); they cause/promote candida, cause diabetes, etc. Everything is backed up by Science (see Wai Genriiu's research, Mercola's, Cordain's, etc).

Don't go vegan, there's a lot of evidence that veganism is unnatural... it may help for some time but can't be good on the long run. We NEED animal foods (consuming toxic milk and Antibiotics .... well, that's ANOTHER story).

I "created" (maybe credits are not for me) this recipe based on Wai's advice:

-2 or 3 oranges
-2 Omega3 egg yolks
-2 Table spoons of Extra virgin olive oil

Mix all, don't blend... and drink. Don't store.

EVERYTHING, I removed every single grain from my diet (including oats, rice, etc).

Before, white rice was a basic complement to the food I ate... and that rice was possibly the worst thing I was doing to my body.

I think you can reintroduce small amounts of WHOLE and ORGANIC grains to your diet once you are healed.

My experience tells me that one of the worst things for your body is flour, specially white flour, usually from wheat.


Now I will start on colostrum to help finish the healing of my gut. My Acne is 100% gone, and my dermatitis almost vanished... everyday get's better.

Hi! I'm not the original poster, but I too have an intolerance for grains. In addition to skin breakouts, wheat and corn give me an arthritis-like pain and stiffness, and sometimes cause dizziness. They seem to have an inflammatory effect on my body.

For about ten years I have had varying success in avoiding eating grains - they're everywhere!

As the starch portion of a meal I eat potatoes, sweet potatoes, many kinds of beans, acorn squash, butternut squash, peas, lima beans, hummus...

Because I also have reactive hypoglycemia my snacks are tiny meals, have to eat protein any time I eat or my blood Sugar goes nuts.

Someone said avoiding grains can lead to eating too much animal protein, but I haven't found it to be so. Instead I find I eat more vegetables of all kinds, both light and filling.

My doctor said he would be happy if nobody ever ate any wheat. More people have trouble from it than they realize, often because we eat it in some form every day, so any problems are constant and we don't see the connection like we would if we ever took a break from eating grains and then also saw a break in the symptoms.

Hey buddy, admire the dedication. I'm doing the same thing, more or less the same diet and it's hard work. Did you manage to clear your seb derm? If sure would be great to know there may be hope!
