I need to follow a strict gluten free diet and am struggling to work out what gluten free carbs I should be eating and when to keep me cycling. I'm trying a new tack this morning and just about to make gf pasta carbonara for breakfast - hopefully that might help! Does anyone have any experience/knoweldge in this area and can offer me some help/advice? Thanks, |

You can find alternatives gluten free bread is ok but a bit expensive Pasta try to get potato based Pasta it tastes pretty good too. Cake if you are that way inclined you can get some great receipes that replace flour with wheat free flour, or greated veg which is suprisingly good and really not that bad (these can also be dairy free as well). In terms of what to eat and when snack on berries, nuts and seeds. A friend of mine has 6 mini meals a day which is high in protiens (chicken turky breast packs) hope this is of some use. Their are so many healthy eating plands out their it is difficult to know which one is good but the key thing is choose one that is right for you and your lifestyle. |
