Grain free is even better than gluten-free!! Researchers have known this for years and SO many people do better eating grain-free. It just takes a switch in your thinking to realise its do-able.

GET A HEAD START ON NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS - Vegging Out

New Years Resolutions: waste of time or key to your success? Like most people I have a tendency to make long lists of unrealistic goals. So this year I am focusing on activities rather than outcomes.
