Wheat-Free for One Month

After the success of our "one car for one month" experiment, we decided to start looking into how and what we eat. Fresh off her diet, my wife suggested we try a month of wheat-free nutrition. The research turned up mostly gluten-free and vegetarian foods, which we have been on since the beginning of this month.

The research also turned up diet ideas based on blood types, with all its controversies. This is worth consideration another month, as I think there is some scientific merit for a hypothesis that you should eat what would be more compatible with your blood (which is where it ultimately all ends up anyway). An interesting topic ...

The goals for this experiment are simple: to see whether wheat-free can reasonably deliver healthier nutrition as claimed, and how life is like on gluten-free/vegetarian diets, especially for us meat-lovers. Depending on how deep we get, how difficult will it be returning to our normal foods and what will we miss most? It's not like we weren't already eating reasonably healthy food, but perhaps there are good habits and recipes we can roll into our lifestyle.
