Grain-free diet

It's been two weeks since I tried going on a grain-free diet. That's right, the key word is tried. It's actually really difficult especially in Taiwan because you're constantly bombarded by delicious aromas of noodles, dumplings, bread, you name it. I realized several things:

a) I can totally live without rice. I don't crave it at all.

b) I crave noodles and dumplings sometimes since there are so many awesome noodle shops in Taipei. I've been limiting myself to eating mung bean vermicelli.

c) I love Asian bakeries. Every time I pass by one, I always inhale deeply; the smell of freshly baked pastries is intoxicating.  I crave bread practically every day. 

In any case, my grain-free diet has officially evolved to a low-grain diet. I avoid grain as much as possible but I do give in to my cravings at times. Trust me, it's really hard not to, especially when you're eating out...in Taiwan.
