I wanted to share this clip with all of you to show you the great alternatives to wheat, dairy and sugar. Gluten has been linked to many food allergies, obesity, depression and more. I recently went to a blood analyst to see why I was not loosing any weight with proper food and exercise. I found out that my blood type was type O and that there was a whole list of foods I could and shouldn't be eating. Among those items that I shouldn't be eating was gluten. Gluten is the number one cause of obesity in type O blood. I have been learning to change my eating habits to accommodate this new gluten free life style which has actually been easier than I thought. So if you are feeling sluggish, having a hard time loosing weight or are constantly having upset stomachs and headaches, try cutting out gluten and see how you feel. Obviously if your symptoms become a problem you should seek medical attention. My new gluten free lifestyle is finally paying off, I am loosing weight and haven't had an upset tummy in months.
I am a big pasta eater and would love to give you a great substitute for my favorite dish:
Baked Ziti
1 egg
2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 bag of brown rice penne or fussili noodles cooked (gluten free)
1 bag of low-fat mozzarella
1 jar of marinara of your choice
1 lb of ground turkey meat cooked
mix first 3 ingredients in a bowl. In a baking dish layer sauce, meat, noodles, cheese mix, and mozzarella until you have it as high as you want to go. bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until cheese is browned. You will love this quick fix any night of the week and of course we always keep it guilt free and now even gluten free!
Love,
The Guilt free girls
