April 30th 2015After eating a meal which was high in gluten I began to feel pains in my chest which were much more painful than usual (indigestion had been a common occurrence for months. Actually, come to think of it, I had been suffering with it for well over a year). The pain was not easing and was getting tough to handle, at one point I fell to my knees it was so bad. I decided I didn't want to feel like that anymore, so set up a plan to strip my diet back to the basics. May 1st-7th (Week 1)The first week was extremely basic. My plan was to: Drink - Water Eat - Lean meats, vegetables Snack - Fruit And that was it. I had gone from a sugar and carb loving being to one who could get their 5 a day in one meal, it was a complete lifestyle change. (By day 3 all I wanted to do was stop and eat some chocolate, but then I remembered what I was doing this crazy venture for, and told myself to get a grip!) By the end of the first week I had lost a few pounds (unintentionally, please don't think I exercised, I had already given up chocolate and that was enough for me!) and was very much looking forward to re-introducing some tasty foods into my diet. Little did I know, gluten wasn't my only problem.
