Yesterday I found the mint chocolate covered Oreos in our pantry leftover from Christmas and I decided it’s been long enough since I’ve had a sweet, let me give one a try, and much to my surprise it tasted………….. awesome, of course.  But not much later in the day I got the worst headache I’ve had in years, coincidence?  I might not ever know, but I can say this, that one oreo was all I ate.  I felt satisfied and not hungry for more, where as before I might have eaten at least 5 or 6.

My main goal with this sugar and gluten free diet is to re-train my brain to eating occasional desserts and breads, to not crave them so much and to eat a healthy balance with healthy foods.  I think it’s working, slowly.  I still have my moments, but for now I am sticking with my diet and healthy eating.

How do you balance healthy eating in your life?

  1. I had the beans pureed and ready to go when I realized I didn’t have enough nuts of any kind. So what did I do? I looked for a recipe for black bean brownies using 2 cups purees beans. I found a simple one on hotcouponworld.com mixing black beans with a boxed brownie mix. So that’s what I did. I turned out okay. I think yours looks better. This one required no butter, no oil, no eggs, no water, just puree the beans and add to the boxed mix. I still intend on making yours, I just need to get the nuts. My husband knows there is something funny going on with them brownies, he only ate one. LOL! I still haven’t told him. 🙂
