Temptation? Really fancied something sweet in the afternoon, made do with some rye bread in the end. Rye bread has a much lower gluten content than wheat. Gluten becomes sticky when wet and can be very hard to digest, causing problems in the digestive tract. It forms a sticky mass and lines the stomach wall, thus hindering absorption in and out of the stomach. It encourages the growth of unhealthy bacteria in the gut, which can lead to the bloating, flatulence and constipation that people can suffer from when consuming wheat. Try eliminating it from your diet and see if you notice a difference. Having said all that, I'm sat here and I'm feeling a bit bloated and gassy, I don't think I'll be rushing back to the rye bread any time soon.
Mood: Good
Notes: Great workout, was wiped out after it though. Note to self - 2 plums are not enough to sweeten porridge!
