Meat and dairy is a staple of mine, however gluten is not. I eat my fair share of fruits and veggies and lots of nuts, but my gluten intake is practically non existent since last July. I started at 203 and I am now at 188.................I DO NOT EXERCISE, well minimally at most. I am off all of my acid relux meds and my cholesterol is where it needs to be now. I do not suffer with this at all, this is not drastic and this is not a diet " they do not work". More of a lifestyle change, without a drastic change on my lifestyle. I do not miss all of the breads, pasta and beer I use to ingest, and I still enjoy plenty of other spirits which are gluten free. How anyone can stop eating meat is beyond me, I live for BBQ and everything that is BBQ. I do own a Nutri-Bullet and it makes yummy drinks and works as advertised. Taking things to extremes to me is well......extreme, but what I have done is working very well and I am very content.
