Tips for Transitioning to Grain-Free Eating

An increasing number of medical professionals and scientists have been discussing links between modern grain products and chronic inflammatory and digestive illnesses. A variety of factors, such as genetic alteration, excessive input farming, and modern industrial milling have made grain-containing foods unhealthy.

This has motivated some individuals to switch to a diet that contains no grain.

Below are some helpful tips for transitioning to grain-free eating:

• Use Greens in Place of Grain-Based Wraps

Wraps are a tasty and convenient lunch, and you do not have to give them up if you go grain-free. Simply use leafy greens, such as lettuce or kale, in which to wrap your favorite meat, poultry, or tuna.

• Fill Up on Vegetables

Fill your refrigerator and pantry with a broad range of vegetables. When you eliminate grains, you are far more likely to eat more vegetables, which is a very positive aspect associated with a grain-free diet. Experiment with different recipes for healthy dips to make your vegetables more tempting.

• Make Use of Your Slow cooker

Roasting meat and chicken in a crockpot or slow cooker is a great way to make quick, healthy meals without having to follow complex recipes or spend time with complicated preparations. Crockpot recipes for beef and poultry, can be simply paired with salads, fresh vegetables, or a desert of a fruit salad to create a balanced dinner. A crockpot can also be used for beans, soups, and chili so that healthy snacks are always available.

In addition, a little-known use for your crockpot is creating tasty breakfasts, such as egg and cheese casseroles or egg and vegetable omelets. You may have to invest in a crockpot model with a timer to ensure such creations are ready at the appropriate breakfast hour, but the convenience such an appliance offers should not be overlooked.

• Keep Appropriate Baking Ingredients on Hand

Obviously, everyone enjoys dessert of one kind or another, and therefore you will be pleased to know that grain-free baking is surprisingly easy. This is because you only need a few vital ingredients that are not difficult to locate.

These include the following:

• Unflavored grass-fed gelatin

• Maple syrup

• Raw honey

• Coconut sugar

• Arrowroot flour

• Coconut flour

Many grain-free desserts can be made in less than 30 minutes, and numerous easy-to-follow recipes can be found online without any difficulty.

• Add Healthy Saturated Fats to Each Meal

Once touted as unhealthy, it is now understood that healthy fats and proteins are good sources of energy that do not wreak havoc on insulin levels, as do most grain products. Genuine, natural saturated fats assist your body to process nutrients. In addition, they reduce inflammation and keep you feeling full longer so that the urge to overeat is significantly lessened. Good examples of healthy fats to add to meals as you transition to your new diet includes ghee, avocado, nuts and seeds, unsalted grass-fed butter, and coconut oil to name a few.

With a little time and effort, it is easy to go grain-free. Fortunately, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose by making this healthy lifestyle change.

Good Luck with your transitioning.
