Posting to this comm = "ask rydra_wong" a question ; )
Thanks for the links *adds to delicious* Baking my own bread is a goal anyway, so. Are gluten-free things gonna be paleo so long as they don't have, like, dairy or whatever in them? Or is it more complicated than that? I don't know much about what foods contain gluten.
You're not going to get something which comes out like white toast, but that's sort of the point.
Never liked white bread except for grilled cheese sandwichs. I like my bread dense and dark with some flavor, so that's fine.
I think I associate complex carbs solely with grains, but I guess that's not the case.
So far, I've ascertained that more protein is definitely what I need and that meat definitely needs to be in my diet (and if I'd been paying attention, I would have figured it out sooner but I was stuck on the "meat is Bad for you" thing.) And less dairy is a good thing. I was hoping to work out how grains effect me this week, but I think I need to switch some of my carb intake over to other sources more and I've got half a loaf of bread to go through (as well as stuff in my "pantry" that aren't paleo-friendly) and I hate throwing food out.
I've got unmedicated mood issues and related fatigue issues and a fast metabolism so yeah I might be more sensitive than others. I always carry a Clif bar around anyway.
As always, I appreciate how informative and knowledgable you are : )
