6 weeks... gluten free; sugar free


I've actually been thinking about doing this for a long time. My brother really got into his food and nutrition last summer, and since then we've had various conversations about it and its always been at the fore front of my mind. Going on from that, I received an email not long ago titled the 4 foods that are going to kill you quickest... wheat, oats, sugar and oil. Now lent has come around I think it's the perfect opportunity to give it a go. I'm excited about the idea of giving myself a good detox!

I must not forget to mention that I probably wouldn't be up to this challenge without my mums help. I commute to London every day by train and my mum, probably the most amazing mum in the world, has a beautiful hot dinner waiting for me when I get home. As you can probably tell, I love my food way too much to go hungry, so we've gone through lots of recipes to make, I'm hoping to feature these on my blog as the weeks go on.

The rules

No food containing gluten;
No food containing sugar (or sweetener)

I know this is going to sound like cheating, but I've allowed myself two days off over this six week period (go on, please?). These two days have been booked in already and I won't enjoy them unless I can eat what's there. They are:

2nd March - trip to the coast with Olly
9th March - my sister in law's baby shower (afternoon tea themed)

So here goes nothing...
