Gluten Free : Day One

Well it has been awhile since I have blogged. But I have taken on the challenge of going gluten free. It has been a great experience as this is day one. I'm amazed how well I feel at this moment and the process that it took to get here. For so long I have been thinking about trying to stop eat gluten and see what the impact would be on my health wise and would I feel a difference ? I can say right now its been a great experience for Day One. I decided that I would cut out all gluten, wheat, processed junk and eat mostly fruit, veggies and green juices. Today I had a green juice from Sun in Bloom in Brooklyn, NY and that was a great way to start the day after coming back from Pittsburgh. Then after getting my green juice I made my way to the Whole Foods in Tribeca which I love going to when I'm in the city for the summer or for any long period of time. I brought fresh fruit, nuts, kale chips (raw) and other great things to begin this journey. It was nice to know that I could eat good tasting food during this process. Being gluten free can be hard and at the same time I'm trying to enjoy the foods that are gluten free. After my nice long trip to Whole Foods I went back to Brooklyn to eat at MOB which is all vegan and yummy. I had the gluten free grits and veggie links with kale. It was great to eat a whole meal knowing that I did not feel weighed down. It was amazing and I can't wait to go back for another meal. I thought to myself after having lunch that I didn't feel like cooking so I went over to Sun and Bloom again and brought collard green rolls with a Zen Citrus Juice for dinner. After my 2 mile run today because it was so hot I came back to eat dinner and I found the rolls kind of unreal and I added some avocado to it to make it even better. I think that today was great and I plan on eating most of my meals at home tomorrow if I can help it. This does not have to be expensive and time consuming. I'm here in NY for the month before I love to PA and I wanted to eat at all of my favorite places. So looking forward tomorrow morning with a run and nice bowl of fruit to begin the day. I decided to do this because I wanted to be more on top of what I did put into my body. I'm staying away from greasy and high fat foods unless its plant based and not processed. Consider this journey for yourself and I'm sure you will fill amazing. Everyone's body goes through different experiences and I have to say I'm adjusting well because I'm already vegan. But I encourage you to think about eating plant based and see what that can do for you. Looking forward to any feedback and I will be back about day two.
