wheatbelly

As it turns out I have become quite a tubby lubber, but I am working on it perpetually.

I have been running a lot, and for the first time in a long time I can run 2 miles without stopping, not fast, but running, so yea me.

Anyway, I was looking on line and came across a book called wheat belly.  And read the first 50 pages or so, and 1. bio engineered food is creepy, 2. wheat sucks.

Anyway, so I thought, what the hell I'll go wheatless see what happens, hoping to shed some lbs.

I have only been wheat free for 2 days so I would hardly call this demonstratively proving wheat sucks, but you have no idea how elated I am.

Why you ask.  Cause I am not tired.  For years, since at least 2003 I have been on Ritalin, and Percocet, one to keep me awake and one to keep me asleep, because I showed the symptoms of nacrcolypsy.  Well most of them, they wouldn't actually call it that. 

And even without the wheat, I can still go into REM in less than 2 minutes (actually, quicker than that, but no one believes me when I tell them I can go to sleep pretty much at will).

Anyway, for the first time in as long as I can remember, I have gone 2 days without falling/needing to go to sleep in the afternoon.

Like I said, it has only been 2 days, but they are awesome days.  I just hope they keep coming.  This book talks a lot about antidotal evidence about wheat curing all kinds of ailments.   If something is chronic and wrong and meds don't help, consider going wheat free for a few days, see what happens.
