I want to share with you guys something that I’ve been dealing with for a long time. Over 3 years ago I started getting dry, flaky patches of skin on my face. I’ve always had oily skin, so this was really strange for me. I tried switching all my cosmetics and skin care products multiple times. I used all organic or high end products. I tried scrubs and creams, anything I could think of. It would get a little better, but never go away completely and always came back. So annoying! Many of you know I started a new workout and portion control program a couple of months ago. You have 6 containers and you eat a specified amount of each container a day depending on what caloric bracket you are in. You can pick and choose from a list the foods you eat. 3 days into it my skin was completely clear! All the dry, patchy skin was totally gone! After looking over my menu for the past few days I realized I had completely cut grains out of my diet! At first, I was like no way...I’ve never had a reaction to anything in my life! So, for curiosity's sake, I ate some bread. You guessed it...dry, flaky skin was right back the next morning. I tried this experiment a couple of times...because I’m a nerd about stuff like this. After doing a lot of research I’ve learned how unhealthy whole grains can be for you, mainly due to GMOs. Even organic grains have been modified. The only grains that are really healthy to eat are sprouted grains, like Ezekiel Bread. So, I’ve been slowly (ok not so slowly, much to their dismay) acclimating my family to sprouted grains. They are actually pretty good once you get used to them. I am loving Ezekiel Muffins. Has anyone else given up grains or had a similar experience with a food sensitivity?
