Food To Chew On:

We are Loved

1 John 3:1 (NKJV)

 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!

Thought For The Day:

Once we have known the Lord’s unqualified love and felt the power of His presence, we are given an unquenchable thirst to know more of Him…. Amen

Bryant and I are so thankful that you are following our blog… It’s a Blessing to us.. We are so grateful!!

Keep up the great work of eating right and exercising we are in this together!!! J We have more eating tips (95-100).

95. Get familiar with quinoa -- a wonderful grain that's easy to cook and goes great with sautéed vegetables or mushrooms.

96. Ditch the mayo, cheese and top bun if you want to scrape off 250 calories from a restaurant sandwich.

97. Resistance bands are a comfortable and affordable at-home exercise option for strength straining.

98. Use the freezer to add some extra oomph to summer foods. Freeze grapes for some bite-sized delights. Or get a Popsicle mold and freeze some Greek yogurt with berries.

99. Wrap up any extra food you've cooked before you sit down to a meal so you're not tempted to get seconds.

100. Take a 30-second break in the middle of your meal. Evaluate just how hungry you still are before getting back to your food.

10 Signs You're Gluten Intolerant

How to treat gluten intolerance?

Eliminating gluten 100% from your diet means 100%. Even trace amounts of gluten from cross contamination or medications or supplements can be enough to cause an immune reaction in your body.

The 80/20 rule or “we don’t eat it in our house, just when we eat out” is a complete misconception. An article published in 2001 states that for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity eating gluten just once a month increased the relative risk of death by 600%.

A Healthy Menu For

TUESDAY

The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends low-fat and fat-free dairy foods as part of a nutrient-rich diet. A calcium-rich breakfast includes 2 slices whole-wheat toast with 1 slice of low-fat cheese, a medium banana and 1 cup skim milk. A turkey sandwich--3 oz. of lean deli meat turkey on 2 slices of whole wheat bread with lettuce, tomato and mustard--with 1 oz. of pretzels and cucumber slices makes an easy lunch. Twenty almonds are a nutrient-rich afternoon snack. A heart-healthy dinner may consist of 4 oz. grilled salmon, 1 cup couscous, 1 cup steamed carrots and a tossed salad with low-fat salad dressing. A 1/2 cup of light ice cream is a 150-calorie evening snack.
