Hey Missy, I am glad you took the plunge. First things first: the fact that I don't eat grains does not mean they are bad for you. This is just me, I noticed they cause me digestion issues and hard stools. You might be different. My advice is to eat natural foods as much as possible and avoid processed foods. If you like quinoa, perfect, if you like legumes, perfect just make sure you can digest them properly. Otherwise look for ways to make them easier on your digestive system, like sprouting them for 24h,,etc. Do not assume that gluten is bad either, this is just a hype of our times. Try, try, try. If you like bread, go ahead and eat it but stay away from white bread which is heavily processed. Stick with sourdough bread instead made of whole grains. Just make sure you pay attention to stool consistency. Yes, vegetable oils are bad, trans-fats are bad, excess sugar is bad. If you stick to natural occurrences of sugar you will be fine, as this always comes packed with fiber. You have a lot to learn but the main Ideea is to stick to natural foods as much as possible and watch how you feel.
