Gluten Free Weigh In

This week I speak with Tamie and Aaron. Tamie fills us in on how the macros diet is working for her, what she's counting and the difficulty she finds keeping everything in line. Aaron and I look back to the preparation classes we did prior to bariatric surgery and some of the life-changing restrictions we were told we'd have to adhere to after surgery. Looking back you realize that some things that were a big deal for you maybe weren't for someone else and vice versa.

This week I speak with Melissa to discuss her choice of alternate day fasting and how she can change it up to meet the needs of her day. Sometimes, it's just not convenient to not eat, so Melissa has a strategy for that. As well she has some advice to get the most out of both your fast and feed days.

This week I speak with Tamie and Aaron. Tamie is doing her best to take the suggestions of her nutrition coach when it comes to choosing an exercise program, but as the weather gets warmer, she is being drawn outside and looking foward to running again. Aaron and I have a very frank discussion about the preparations and changes you must be prepared to make in your life when you sign up for bariatric surgery. This week we talk about smoking. There are other considerations and we'll continue our conversation in our next chat.

This week I take a deep dive with Melissa into her alternate day fasting lifestyle. This approach to fasting may seem extreme to you, but after listening to Melissa explain how she makes the regime work for her, you may see it as something more do-able. I also include a question from a listener. If you have a question for any of my co-hosts, please email me at glutenfreeweighin@gmail.com.

This week I speak with Tamie and Aaron. We follow Tamie as she tries to learn more about the macros program and how protein has become such an important factor in her food choices. Aaron is trying to fit exercise into his very busy schedule and has developed a creative way to stay on track. They both have beef jerky on their daily menus - oddly enough.

I'm delighted to introduce our new Co-Host Melissa. Melissa describes herself as someone who has always been on a diet and is now comitted to eating gluten free, but now she seems to have found something that really works for her. I'm hoping you'll be as interested in Melissa's story as I am after you listen to her introduction.

This week marks the return of the podcast after my knee surgery. This episode was recorded prior to November 1st with Aaron and has been a long time in progress to this point. My conversation with Aaron centres around how his "new" combined family is dealing with his requirement to eat a gluten free diet. Lots of different personalities, and for the most part, all with good intentions, but getting to the point where Aaron feels the family knows enough to keep him safe is a journey.

This week I check in with Tamie who seems to be back on track with her macros eating program. We speak about meals that fit into her program and how she is trying to make substitutions for some of her old stand-bys that were suitable when she was following a weight watchers diet, but don't fit into her macros program. The weather is getting colder and Tamie is getting ready to stay home more, but still eat healthy.

This week's conversation with Aaron centres around how his newly blended family is handling the gluten free diet. Aaron's is a large and busy household with with lots of different interests and activities. Aaron uses the analogy of having to juggle balls, some are rubber and will bounce if they drop, others are glass and can't afford to be dropped. He explains how the gluten free diet fits into this perspective. We offer lots of suggestions for keeping his food and the family kitchen safe.

This week I speak to Tamie about her recent half-marathon. She was not very excited about running this race and is glad it's behind her. She is resetting for for counting macros going forward. As well, she used a great technique to stay on the program while travelling for and running in her half-marathon.

This week I'm speaking with Aaron who recently got married and is now in the process of blending his and his wife's families under one roof. Clearly, in this situation there's a lot going on, but in Aaron's case, his new "bonus" kids have to deal with his gluten free requirements including keeping the kitchen safe. It's a family dynamic that is difficult to plan for, but must be addressed on a continuing basis. Plus as we can expect, there's a couple of plot twists that happen.

This week I'm speaking with Tamie. I'm anxious to catch up with her after her running a half marathon, particularly to find out if she is still pursuing a macros diet plan. When we last spoke, Tamie seemed to be struggling with the food combinations she needed to keep up her macros numbers. Has her half marathon changed anything for her.

This week I speak with Tamie. She admits she's been struggling lately and hasn't mastered macros yet. She did sign up for two half-marathons, but now questions how much she enjoys long distance running. We chat about how much of her struggle is self-imposed and she admits she's planning to make some changes come the fall.

This week I speak with Aaron. We talk about the difficulties of going out to restaurants when you can only eat a very small amount of food. Despite this, Aaron has had some great experiences with restaurants. We both share some strategies for eating small meals outside of home. Aaron lets us in a big secret that has changed almost everything in his life.

This week I'm speaking with Tamie to ask about counting macros - specifically protein and fibre. Tamie is being directed by her Nutritionist to get in lots of protein - much more than I could ever eat, along with a suggested amount of fibre that most of us work towards everyday. As well as maintaining a gluten free diet, counting macros can be challenging, but Tamie has some great tips for getting in lots of protein.

This week when speaking with Aaron, I can notice how much healthier he is, and I can almost hear a spring in his step. He's back at the gym, which is having many great benefits. We talk about his problems with EOE and how he sees the condition after his operation. You'll never guess what his medical team told him to eat, in what most of us would find a reversal of his journey.

This week I catch up with Tamie and Carla. Tamie is continuing her program to count macros including calories, protein, fibre, carbs and fat. The balance is proving to be a challenge, but one that she's happing to talk about. Carla is struggling with illness of family members. She talks about how intermittent fasting has been helpful, but sometimes is not enough to nourish her. She also highlights struggles with the gluten free diet when all your time and energy is taken up with caring for others.
