Thank you for posting this. I am trying to live grain-free for different medical reasons. But my maternal grandmother and my mother's older brother were both Type-2 diabetics and diabetes is one of those things that lurks at the back of my mine. No one in my generation has developed it. Will it be me? I'm doing my best to make sure it's not.
I find that the longer I'm grain-free, the easier it is to stay that way. But rice is my downfall. And naan. I could live on Indian and Thai food and the rice and bread is so tempting and not bland and tasteless like American bread and rice. And that's where I'm currently hung up. I have to get away from rice long enough for it to stop tasting good. Donuts, pastries, muffins... none of those appeal to me anymore because they just don't taste like I want them to. So they aren't tempting. But jasmine or basmati rice? Yeah... Tough one.
I really have to make a commitment to be grain-free. I am going to start tomorrow morning. Thank you for being part of my support network.
