A couple weeks ago, Tony and I started a diet, eliminating gluten (mainly wheat and rye flours, and products containing such) and sugar. We still eat fruit, and certain sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, stevia, and agave. We are also attempting to eat six small meals a day, and follow the principles of food combining and the [...]

collards and
mustards, cauliflower,
black eyed peas, sweet potato [...]
