More and more people are seduced by diets without gluten, lactose, alcohol or refined sugar. These programs aim to eliminate processed substances and to opt for a natural diet in order to be in better physical and mental health.
Faced with the general craze for these new eating habits, some remain skeptical. Indeed, beyond the general consensus on the dangers of alcohol abuse, plans to eliminate a certain category of food cause some questions. The gluten-free diet in this case divides scientists who are divided between its benefits to treat certain inflammatory diseases and its consequences too little documented on healthy individuals. To this divergence of opinion, the scientific journalist Julien Venesson proposes a simple but rather interesting solution: to experiment with the gluten-free and to observe the results.
This is the advice that Grace Mora, creator of online support Food Matters TV has obviously decided to follow, since the latter has opted for an all-in-one experience: a diet without gluten, alcohol, lactose and sugar refined! After 21 days, here are the changes she observed:
She had to reevaluate her diet
By adopting a diet different from her usual routine, Grace Mora was able to question herself in order to identify her good and her bad habits. By observing positive results, it also allowed him to open up to others by trying to help them adopt a healthier lifestyle.
She realized that she was eating too much sugar
When you stop eating refined sugar, you experience physical and psychological symptoms similar to weaning. For Grace, this allowed her to realize that many foods are naturally sweet and that in the majority of cases she was perfectly able to limit herself to half the usual doses.
She slept better
By removing gluten, lactose, sugar and alcohol, our body can be put to rest. It regains its biological rhythm and naturally becomes more peaceful during the night. According to Valérie Espinasse, nutritionist, by stopping the processed products, one has more energy during the day and one enjoys a restful sleep during the night.
She was no longer afraid of hunger during the day
Who has never opted for a few squares of chocolate (or even a tablet) when he was not in the mood? When we want to improve our lifestyle, we question some habits. Soon, we finally realize that the psychological dimension has been responsible for our diet for too long; the desire to eat being equated with the fear of missing certain foods. By becoming aware of the impact of our emotions, we end up differentiating between physiological hunger and psychological hunger.
She realized that animal proteins are not essential
By choosing different dishes that did not contain any meat, Grace Mora quickly realized that vegetable alternatives were just as delicious and capable of provoking a feeling of satiety. This allowed her to re-evaluate her relationship with animal proteins that she no longer considers as indispensable to her meals.
She discovered a passion for Yoga
By getting rid of gluten, lactose, refined sugar and alcohol, she has discovered new areas of interest, including yoga, which is a great way to let go and focus on the present moment. According to a study, the practice of yoga can reduce stress and protect against the risk of depression.
She was no longer afraid of fat
By incorporating healthy fats into her diet, Grace Mora has noticed tremendous benefits on the quality of her skin and her figure. Good fats come mainly from oilseeds, seeds, vegetables and some fish.
She experimented with new dishes
Of course, this change in food has earned Grace the opportunity to develop new culinary skills. She has discovered new tasty recipes without gluten, sugar or lactose.
