I have been looking forward to going gluten free again, but the cravings have hit!! The first time I went gluten free I remember having the cravings...I would wander the house, wondering "what can I eat that will fill me up!!". It took a week or so and then I felt so much better. The second time I went gluten free I didn't notice the cravings....this time, though, I am noticing!! I am pretty active so do need to take in a fair bit, but here is what I have eaten so far today over the past 6 hours (and I'm still hungry) Breakfast - 1 banana, frittata (1 whole egg, 1/2 cup egg whites, 4 mushrooms, 1/2 tomato, 1/4 cup marble cheese, 1/4 cup ham), 1 piece of gluten-free toast with butter, 2 cups coffee with milk, Lunch - 1 cup mixed greens, 1/2 cup chopped/grilled chicken, 1 tbsp low fat salad dressing, 1 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup non-fat yogurt, 1 tbsp flax seeds Snack - 1 piece of gluten-free toast with jam and hot chocolate. I keep craving things like cereal, toast, all those things are traditionally full of gluten. I know it will pass. I am about to go have an apple with cottage cheese and tonight will have some grilled fish with rice and veggies and probably a mixed green salad on the side. It has only been about 5 days of gluten free so another week and I should be good!!
