Too scary? How about 14 days? 7 days? Hell, why not just do one day at a time! Now there&#8217;s an idea.<\/p>\n<p>Take each day one at a time to make small steps to improving yourself. Perfect.

It&#8217;s been a doddle actually. Way easier than 100 days of <a title=\"10,000 burpees later\u2026\" href=\"https:\/\/a-healthier.me.uk\/?p=1313\">100 burpees!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve noticed.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Costa Coffee shops I have been to don&#8217;t serve grain free things. Well, maybe chocolate but that&#8217;s never a good thing with coffee, way too addictive.<\/p>\n<p>Starbucks are a bit better, but I like their coffee less.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t miss pasta or pastry (got my own almond based recipe) bread or crackers. But I do miss what I put on them.<\/p>\n<p>You see I love marmalade. \u00a0Toast and butter is perfect for that.<\/p>\n<p>I am also rather partial to a cheese and piccalli sandwich, but merely for the vehicle in which to contain it all.<\/p>\n<p>I was the Queen of the flapjack for a long time, but only because they are sweet, not necessarily because they are oats.<\/p>\n<p>I have won the battle of an insatiable appetite and regular picking at food.<\/p>\n<p>I have baked grain free birthday cakes and got through Easter without any glitches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The niggly health issues which have substantially reduced or gone completely.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I don&#8217;t get tired mid-afternoon.<\/li>\n<li>No wacky mood swings in the month.<\/li>\n<li>No face spot break outs.<\/li>\n<li>My weight is now stable and constant.<\/li>\n<li>Improved, but not yet perfect digestion.<\/li>\n<li>Much reduced but not yet completely removed skin inflammation (dermatitis herpetiformis) that I&#8217;ve had for 20 years, but only discovered what it was after reading the wonderful book called &#8220;Wheat Belly&#8221; by William Davis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Will I keep it up? Almost certainly. You might find me eating some rice somewhere, but the benefits and ease of conforming are so easy that I can&#8217;t see why I would go back to eating grains (especially wheat) again.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, for the record. I think I&#8217;ll give 100 Day Challenges a miss for the next section of the year, preferring to work just one day at a time, constantly heading in the right direction for me.<\/p>\n<p>What about you?<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>FastTrack Fit Camp offering fantastic health and fitness advice in and around the Wokingham area.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><strong>14 April:<\/strong> \u00a0FastTrack Fit Camp and Berkshire Ballroom host a <a href=\"http:\/\/fasttrack-fitcamp.co.uk\/2013\/03\/12\/rock-roll-taster-class\/\">&#8216;Learn to Jive &#8211; Rock &amp; Roll Taster&#8217; <\/a>session at 1400-1600. \u00a37 per person.
