Gluten-Free: The Myth of The Health Food Nut

For some people, trying to eat Gluten-Free 100% of the time leads to overwhelm and binge eating. You’re not a nut because you want to feel better. But let’s face it. It’s hard to do. What would work for you is nutritious, wheat-free food that satisfies your craving to indulge. That way you don’t have feel like your losing something just to be okay.

Think about what you’ve eaten in the last couple of days. How many times did you think to yourself, “What I’d really love is…” – but force yourself to go with something bland because it was “healthy”?

If you feel this way more than once a day you’re probably beginning to feel a little deprived. Eating food should be a satisfying experience, like some part of you is celebrating how good it is to get what you need. If you agree, we invite you to try our crackers and see for yourself how simple and naturally gluten free food can make a difference in your day.

Still wondering if our crackers are what you need? Check out what our customers are saying.

Are You Deprived?

Stop living as if you are deprived. No really. Stop it right now.

I’ve noticed that many of us have the attitude that life has been holding-back, depriving us of good things. (You know the yo-yo diet kind of living that happens trying to lose weight, so you cut out anything with flavor from your cupboards and live on a stiff regimen of of things that taste like cardboard.Then that logic follows suite into other aspects of your life and relationships that the best quality is too hard to come by, too expensive, you would have to work too hard etc. so you settle for the superficial version with no depth because it’s easier? Yeah, been there.)

When I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) a few years ago and trying desperately to avoid all gluten, dairy and sugar to improve the symptoms, instead of feeling better I suddenly felt even more deprived. It wasn’t that my body actually was deprived, I just got stuck in the logic that anything healthy, gluten-free, raw etc. that would benefit my body would be flavorless and insignificant. I felt like PCOS had handed me a life-sentence of a depleted, passionless life.

That’s when it hit me…the loaded question…if food was now flavorless, what other parts of my life had become flavorless because I thought sacrificing pleasure meant I was creating health?
