That is why I started CD in the first place.
Yes I needed to lose weight but I also had a problem trying not to eat bread!
So CD answered a lot of prayers. It enabled me to go wheat-free. I was badly anaemic and had been in hospital needing 6 pints of blood. My blood count went back to normal within 6 weeks of coming off wheat and has stayed up ever since.
So it is a big learning curve for me when I go back to eating food, since everything has to be wheat-free. I need to make all my meals from scratch, which isn't a problem just a necessity.
It means I can never go out and have pizza/pasta/bread/pies or anything else!! Should help keep me under control. We shall see .........
