Introduction
Do you realize that dieting is a lifestyle? You cannot look at going on a diet
as a temporary thing. Failure often occurs with diets when people go on a diet long enough to lose the weight (or lower blood pressure or lower cholesterol) and then go right back to the old eating habits. You need to stop and consider why you are in the health predicament you are in - it is because of your old eating habits. If you have gained weight, you gained it because of your eating habits and probably lack of exercise.
When you need to diet to change your physical health, you need to make the diet a lifestyle change. This means you will forget about your old eating habits and will take on new, healthier eating habits. But before you can make a successful lifestyle change you need to break the bad eating habits you may have first. If you don't break these bad habits you run the risk of going through food withdrawal
symptoms.
Food withdrawal symptoms might include headaches, intense cravings, and moodiness. This is especially true if the food addiction is for sugar. Sugar is one of the most intense addictions and going cold turkey
may cause some intense cravings for it. Instead of suffering through the withdrawal symptoms, you should slowly wean from the junk food before diving into the new diet plan. You can start the new diet while weaning. Taking the time to wean first will help you to get on and stick with the new diet.
It takes the body about three weeks to break a bad habit. You can break most any habit by doing a slow wean over three weeks, including weaning from alcohol, cigarettes, and even recreational drugs. Of course, you should never try to wean from those on your own and you should seek the guidance of your health care provider. But weaning from food is safer. Here are a couple of ways to wean from junk food successfully. Just remember even if you cheat do not be hard on yourself. Just pick back up where you were and keep going with it.
If you want to give it a week to start, just eat as you normally do and keep a food journal. Record what you eat and how much you eat. If you really want to dive into your eating habits, you should also record how you are feeling. See if you notice any patterns such as stress eating, or happy eating, or bored eating. Ideally, you should only eat when hungry but so many people do not and will eat during other times. This is a great contributor to the obesity factor.
One way to wean is to count how many times a day you eat junk food. You will want to start eliminating ONE time a day for about three days in a row before eliminating another time. Repeat every three days by adding another instance of replacing the junk food with something more nutritious like fruit, nuts, or leftovers (if you are cooking the recipes from this book). By three weeks, you will have safely weaned from the junk food and the withdrawals symptoms should be at minimum if any at all.
Another way to wean from the junk food is to assess how much you eat. If you eat a lot of junk food during the day, say three or more times start with limiting to eating it just three times a day for about five days. Then move down to two times a day for five days. Then move down to once a day for five days. Then move to every other day. Then put two days between eating it. And follow up until you are only eating it once a week. By that point, you may be able to let it go completely. At first, view the eating of junk food as a reward for sticking with the diet.
The hope is that your body will stop craving the junk food. It takes time, which is why the weaning process works so well. By the time you have weaned you may no longer crave junk food. You will be eating healthy.
Exercise
When you make a dieting lifestyle change, you should also include exercise. The body thrives with physical activity. Adding exercise helps to increase the metabolism, which gives you more energy to continue with physical activity. Physical activity also helps the body to release endorphins, which are a feel good
substance. This is a way to achieve a natural high,
squash depression, and lift the mood without the harmful side effects of prescription medications.
In order to exercise properly you only need to commit to doing it every other day at minimum. A good workout is normally achieved within a half an hour. You can start with something as easy as a five-minute warm up of stretches followed by a vigorous walk of twenty minutes and ending with a five-minute cool down stretch. You can also ride a bike; do aerobics, swim, and workout at a gym. The idea is to do enough vigorous exercise that the body burns the calories and releases the endorphins. You may have heard of the runner's high,
which is achieved by runners when they run for a certain amount of time. You don't have to run to achieve this; any good physical exercise if done for long enough, will bring on the release of the endorphins.

As with anything you do for your health, always seek the guidance of your health care provider. If you have any existing health concerns, you need to clear any diet or exercise through them. Take all the advice given here as informational purposes only. The diets are healthy and most physicians will agree they are okay. Exercise is always beneficial; however, make sure it will be for you as well. You will get out of this diet what you put into it.
Section 1: Grain Free Recipes
There's something absolutely delicious about a freshly baked loaf of bread, a crispy waffle, or a tasty cake hot out of the oven! These foods all have one thing in common: they're made with grain or wheat flour. Cooking with wheat flour and grain is something that everyone does, and it produces a whole lot of delicious foods.
Unfortunately for many, grain and wheat are things that they cannot enjoy. Gluten intolerance can be a serious problem for many people, and they are unable to eat foods that contain lots of grain or wheat. When they do, they have serious digestive problems, or their body can react strongly and negatively to the gluten in the grain that they are eating.
Gluten has been linked to a number of problems. Interestingly enough, the body often sees gluten as being a foreign substance that it can't process. While gluten is commonly found in the food we eat, it wasn’t always part of our diet. The human body can't always process this gooey, sticky protein easily, and it
