My Gluten-Free plan is underway and going quite well. Luckily, I loved healthy food from the start so changing my eating habits to cut out gluten hasn't been hard yet.
To keep things simple since this is week 1, I am planning on eating the same snacks/meals during the workweek this week. That takes out the thinking to packing my food the night before. Here's what I'm eating for breakfasts this week -
- 3 eggs (scrambled) with multi colored peppers, tomatoes, onions, and spinach
- handful of strawberries
This only takes me about 10 minutes to make in the mornings. What saves me a BUNCH of time is cutting up the vegetables on Sunday so they are ready for the week.
I've noticed a difference already with not being hungry so soon after breakfast when I eat the eggs and vegetables vs. the pancakes or egg sandwich I used to eat in the morning. I feel fuller much longer.
Here's the rest of the food I take to work with me.
- a handful of blueberries and salted pistachios for my mid-morning snack
- Mexican bowl with peas for lunch
- sliced apple with peanut butter and a mozzarella string cheese for my afternoon snack
I have designated eating times throughout the day to keep my metabolism going. The schedule is as follows:
6:30am - breakfast
9:30am - snack
12:30pm - lunch
3:30pm - snack
6:30pm - dinner
So far I don't feel extra hungry at all and I actually have struggled to finish all my meals. I've been getting a few headaches that may be from the gluten withdrawals. I'm excited to check back at the end of the week and see how I am feeling then.
