anyway, a little advice for people who suffer seasonal allergies, people who want to lose weight, or people with bad eating habits: stop eating large amounts of gluten and don't eat dairy. i used to have summer allergies, and since i stopped eating this stuff in any sort of excess(especially dairy) i have had maybe 2 allergy fits(sneezing, tingly nose, tiredness) this summer and they were both very minor. in general it also helps me stay happy, helps me regulate insulin better so i have i don't have so many energy peaks and troughs in a day, and very importantly, helps me stay very lean. it used to be every morning i'd wake up and have to clear out my nose and the everyday morning jitters would be on me. but since i seriously cut back on eating dairy and wheat i really wake up feeling great and fresh every morning. if someone really wants to try this diet it's important to remember to initially consume the same amount of calories daily. wheat and dairy products both contain large quantities of calories compared to other foods so you have to compensate. initially i lost weight, i got under 120 pounds when i started to combine this diet with my regular, heavy exercise regimen. but after learning how to take calories from other sources in greater quantity i was able to maintain a steadier and healthier weight, all while shedding what little fat was left on my body.
toodles. i am diet obsessed lately is all.
