Harmony... I was reading Woman's World yesterday and saw an article about the connection between thyroid and wheat. Thought of you. The doctor who wrote it is William Davie and he wrote the book The Wheat Belly Diet.

The reviews are pretty mixed, but I will say that eliminating wheat had a huge effect on my dogs. Thought I would at least pass this information on to you.
I started my diet bet today. I need to lose 6 lbs in 28 days to win. It is very doable for me. I had planned on dropping another 10lbs during this upcoming month, so I might as well try to win some money while I'm at it.. Win/win situation for me.
Went back to my fitness group on Tue and I am so sore I can hardly move my arms. Guess those particular muscles haven't been worked in a while. Hopefully I will be going to class this evening. Sweetie' car is in the shop so I will have to wait and see if it is done by the time I need to go to class. If not, I have something I can do here at home.
Here is a recipe that came out of the Wheat Belly Diet. I can use it because there is no sugar in it. Looks good and I am going to give it a try.
4 eggs separated 1/2 cup coconut flour 4 tsp lemon juice
1 cup ricotta cheese Sweetener equivalent 1 tsp vanilla
room temperature to 3/4 cup of sugar
Preheat oven to 375*. Grease a 9x9 baking pan. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat cheese, flour, sweetener, lemon juice, egg yolks and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold egg whites into cheese mixture until combined. Pour into pan; bake 20 minutes or until edges begin to brown and a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool slightly before serving.
In some ways this eating program mirrors my 100 sugar count plan. I also have a recipe for making hamburger buns with no wheat flour, but don't have it in front of me. Its made with almond flour which I can eat.
