gmo wheat gluten causes a lot of health problems. We eat way too much wheat. Limit corn too.
Wife and I had a lot of health issues and got tested for wheat and corn sensitivity.
We stopped eating it and the health issues went away.
We eat gluten free for breads and cereals made with brown rice.
We try to eat organic especially things we eat every day. Eggs, coffee, green tea, chicken,etc.
Refined processed white sugar too. We use only organic raw cane sugar.
Use stevia and agave instead of sugar. Also use real organic maple syrup and local honey.
We also limit cow milk. use mostly rice,almond,coconut milk. I still use a little organic half n half in my coffee.
Fix the arthritis, skin problems, allergies.
Eat more veggies and fruits. More balanced diet. Less breads and sweets.
Just my two cents.

How would you say your diet changes have influenced your weight?

Have the changes significantly influenced your caloric intake?

Calories are an outdated system. And sports fan is totally right for once.

Good calories make you feel better which causes more activity = weight loss.
Lost 30 pounds. I do eat more protein per meal. Not more than 3 or 4 oz. Eat sweet potato instead of white potatoes.
Can eat a lot of veggies.

Glad to hear it's working out so well for you. I know it can be difficult to follow such a diet in today's mainstream food world.

GMO corn is what's the most dangerous imo

I try and stay away from all high frustose corn syrup (HFCS) products. The problem is, corn, or any byproduct of corn, is in almost anything that is packaged. It's not good for you in any way...
It's a shame congress passed the bill stating companies do not have to label products that contain GMO's

There is no such thing as almond, rice & coconut milk.

It should be illegal to call it milk. Milk is the lactated secretion of a mammal.

Because wheat today isn't what it used to be.

In the early 1970s, a researcher by the name of Dr. Norman Borlaug set out to solve world hunger bu genetically modifying wheat to make it more resistant to high winds and storms. His creation, known as dwarf wheat, was much shorter than wheat naturally was. The result was a much better crop yield. Sounds great, right?
The problem is that in the process of modifying wheat from its natural state, about 15 new strains of gluten were created. I do not believe we are designed to digest these new forms of gluten. Because you can't find real wheat anymore, you're getting these unnatural glutens anytime you eat wheat or wheat products.
It doesn't just result in digestive issues either. People can get headaches, fatigue, weight issues, and other problems as a result. It's a big problem.
The sad thing is, a lot of our food is genetically altered. Corn is another one. Scary stuff.

Not disagreeing with your points, but why should we assume

genetically modified automatically means worse for you. Isn't it possible to genetically modify something for the better. I don't think we can just throw the "bad" blanket on all GMO products.

Maybe not, but we should at least label it all as GMO if it is.

Was in a Senate hearing Tues with lobbyist pushing for voluntary labels only.

Also, my family is in the same boat as sportsfan.

In addition, we fill up 5 gallon jugs with RO water instead of worrying about how much lead or parts per million of jet fuel the EPA has decided is sfae to be in drinking water.
Also, to clarify, the Senate thing was just a fun trip to DC for daughters 14th bday and we got a pass to go in and listen to proceedings.

I feel we should avoid GMOs because we don't know the long term health risks.

Wheat is much more of a problem than it used to be, for the reasons I mentioned. Most all non-organic corn is GMO. One type, BT corn, is genetically modified to produce a pesticide. Researchers are now finding this pesticide-producing bacteria in the intestines of humans. That's scary stuff.

You certainly have the right to avoid them. It will be difficult. If a chicken eats GMO feeds do you avoid the chicken?

You can go on your life changing way of eating if you want too. I do not care. I do not want to hear about it. Me I just made grits, bacon, eggs, coffee. Finished it with a good glass of Bourbon and a cigar. I will be happy all day...I may even go have a big bowl of weedies

The only way to truly eat healthy is to drink nothing but water from Lake Titicaca and graze on some grass eating the occasional undigested berries in rabbit droppings. Back to nature guys...
