Just wanted to share, I've been back to this WOE since the beginning of March and found that my asthma wasn't getting better and my weight was really fluctuating, as I was having a hard time sticking to the diet completely, craving sugar and breads, etc.
I stopped eating all grass grains-wheat, rice, oats where staples-and within a couple of days, sugar cravings stopped, and my weight started falling easily. Then I ate about 1/4 cup of rice at an indian restaurant 4 days ago, and within 15 min got asthma. Couldn't believe I'm sensitive to rice too. Got back on track, eating now quinoa, buckwheat, beans and potatoes for starch, and the weight is coming off faster, and asthma and sugar cravings gone, and my energy going way up. Wild.
Not sure why so many people are becoming so grain intolerant, but looking back, I can see that I've been intolerant probably most of my life. Just glad there is a solution, and that I can still be plant and starch based.
