Trying Grains Again

[iyamamaschke]

SO I ahve to tell you I was scred to add in grains again but, this time I am not reacting like I ahve before PHEW. I added in some mixed whole grains it's called Red river it's a hot Porridge I love this stuff it's soooo nutty tasting YUMMY. and I also Got some stone ground flax bread made without flour. I ahve really been enjoying having this. Maybe my weight loss will pick up never know a little variety might do me good. I ended up having TOM again and I don't think I ahve had as many Bathroom trips as I have in the last 2 days LOL it's alll good I have noticed byt hte end of the day my ankles are a bit swollen but, I am not chalking that up to the grains yet cause my body does need to get used to tehm and also I am swollen from Hormones I think.

Good luck on the grains.

I found that I have a food intolerance to some wheat products---they make my asthma act up but don't effect my weight loss. So I limit those whole wheat products to a couple times a week (if that at all).

Well, good for you. This is why I like OWL so much---I've learned what foods do me in and what foods don't.

Re: Trying Grains Again

sarah keep track of your grains products by grain in them as some grains are more GI unfreindly then others too. In the Atkins For Life book Dr Atkins breaks them out into the eat frequently and the eat infrequently bases on this. I was suprized where different grains fell.

Re: Trying Grains Again

Sarah if you like red river cereal for b'fast you should also try steel cut oats. I think they're awesom. It's really different from regular oatmeal, it's much more chewy, has more of a porrige texture. and I think much more filling as well. I buy either mccann's irish oatmeal or bobs red mill steel cut oats.
