Gluten Free and Low Carb Challenge

In 2012 I became aware of the problems with gluten on the body. My husband and I set out on our gluten-free journey. We needed to lose weight so we started to research a eating philosophy that includes vegetarian lifestyle. We discovered The Low Carb Vegetarian".



This plan required low carbs, but we still want to stay glute-free. As we read labels of the gluten-free products we were dismayed to find the high carbohydrate flour mixtures.

Now the challenge was to cook gluten-free and low carb. The most difficult part was locating breads and desserts. I love researching and on this expedition the Paleo Diet kept coming up.

Without going into a lot of boating details, both online- this is exactly what we needed!! The Paleo Diet requires zero grain consumption. Breads, crusts etc are made with almond meal, coconut flour, blanched almond flour and flax seed flour. I immediately began trying out the recipes on
www.Paleofast.com.

The conclusion is this:
For people who need to be gluten-free and low carb, there is a way to accomplish this. Diabetics and those of us who need to release pounds, there is hope.

Do some research of your own. Ding stop until you find what works best for you.

Einkorn: A gluten-free ancient grain

In my life-long search for gluten-free products I just discovered einkorn. Einkorn wheat (from German Einkorn, literally "single grain") can refer either to the wild species of wheat, Triticum boeoticum (the spelling baeoticum is also common), or to the domesticated form, Triticum monococcum. The wild and domesticated forms are either considered separate species, as here, or as subspecies of T. monococcum. Einkorn is a diploid species of hulled wheat, with tough glumes ('husks') that tightly enclose the grains. The cultivated form is similar to the wild, except that the ear stays intact when ripe and the seeds are larger. Einkorn wheat was one of the earliest cultivated forms of wheat, alongside emmer wheat (T. dicoccum). Grains of wild einkorn have been found in Epi-Paleolithic sites of the Fertile Crescent. It was first domesticated approximately 7500 BC (7050 BC ≈ 9000 BP), in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) or B (PPNB) periods.[1] Evidence from DNA finger-printing suggests einkorn was domesticated near Karaca Dağ in southeast Turkey, an area in which a number of PPNB farming villages have been found.[2] Its cultivation decreased in the Bronze Age, and today it is a relict crop that is rarely planted, though it has found a new market as a health food. It remains as a local crop, often for bulgur (cracked wheat) or as animal feed, in mountainous areas of France, Morocco, the former Yugoslavia, Turkey and other countries. It often survives on poor soils where other species of wheat fail.[3] Source: Wikipedia It is also gluten-free. Jovial is a company that produces cookies made With einkorn. The texture is different. It is light and airy.
