But a nearly wheat free existence does seem possible.

Even without the Heart benefits, getting off wheat and sugar seems to be a very good way to lose weight without having to starve yourself. I am almost though my first week with "no wheat" and it has not been the problem I thought it would be.

My "Tuna Salad" will be just that, a salad with iceberg lettuce. A meal.

I find Google to be a very good place to check out products for problems. I knew I was sinning by adding a half cup of OJ concentrate to my morning smoothie, but I didn't realize it was 65% sugar. So I will replace it with a banana, frozen strawberries, and splenda. I add two eggs, milk, water and ice for a smoothie. That's breakfast.

My goal is to find products I like and make as many of my meals as I can around them. I love oatmeal and make a combination of 1 1/2 cups with 2 1/2 cups of water, microwaved for four/five minutes and then add some milk. Also a dash of salt, some raisins, and splenda. That's a meal.

I like eggplant, zucchini, onions and tomatoes. That combines into a great "ratatouille." Another meal.

Costco sells fresh spinach, 2 1/2 lb package, for $7.50. Combine a skillet of that with a piece of their roast chicken. Another meal.

My only sin left that I know of is adding creamer [sugar!] to my coffee. That's once every other day, and I will live with it. :>)
