Whole Grains
Today's Weight: 140.6 lbs
Yesterday's Weight: 142.4 lbs
Difference: -1.8 lbs
LIW: 136.6
Difference: +4.0
Yesterday I woke up and I was up almost 2 pounds. I freaked. I hate that feeling right after I wake up and realize I'm walking towards the scale. I hold my breath until the number pops up and then it's either relief or terror. I ate more than I should have on Tuesday because I ended up getting really hungry in the evening. I ate my homemade 24 hour yogurt with walnuts and half an apple. I ate around 10:30p. I also noticed I was hungry through out the day. I don't break the protocol. I don't eat foods outside of "the list". I just tend to eat a lot of it I think. My husband weighed himself the other day and he had lost another 5 pounds. If I continue on my diet he's going to disappear. He's 6 feet tall and weighs 152.0 lbs. About 25-30 lbs under weight. I diet, he loses weight. Stuffs his face with food all day if he can. He loves cakes, cookies, fried food and snooty beer (micro-brews). My son is 5 years old and 37 lbs. My daughter is 7 1/2 years old and 48 lbs. I've tried to fatten them all up and can't. Just my luck.
I've been trying to read more about gluten free breads and gluten free whole grains. Is anyone else going to omit gluten from their diet even on P4?
I did get a list of gluten and gluten free grains from the Whole Grains Council:

I did get a list of gluten and gluten free grains from the Whole Grains Council:

Gluten Free Whole Grains
Amaranth
Buckwheat
Corn
Millet
Montina
Quinoa
Rice
Oats (if made in a gluten free facility)
Sorghum
Teff
Wild Rice
I'm trying to find which ones are the highest in carbs/starch. I'll edit the list and add then when I find it.
What I don't like about gluten free stuff is that when you want to make bread you have to mix tons of flours to get the right one you need. Or they're just rice flour which I think tastes a little funny. Or they are outright EXPENSIVE.
I did find a spaghetti that the kids liked with no gluten:

Ancient Harvest Quinoa Pasta, Spaghetti Style, Supergrain
Does anyone else have any suggestions for gluten free pastas or breads that taste good and aren't too expensive?
