Becoming glutenfree and milkfree

Making a life commitment to eating without gluten or milk-products in my diet may possibly make some shrug their heads, while others becomes eager to hear the weight-benefits from this change. To me its a choice that changed the way I live and the quality of my life.

I did not know that changing my diet would in so many ways change my life. However, I would not recommend this change for someone who is "only" seeking to loose weight. Despite the fact that the change have had an impact on my weight, I would under all circumstances choose an easier way to loose weight. Because for me it is not just about loosing weight, it is to a greater extent about whether or not to spend hours in a bathroom later on. For so many years of my life I spend in embarrassment  regarding things I don't even want to elaborate on. Only the fact that I at times was not very pleasant to spend time with. I was embarrassed and thought that there was something wrong with me. Instead I found that there was something wrong with the food I loved the most. 

Despite my great love for whipped cream, I have not regretted saying goodbye to that and many other food-loves in my life for the life I have now and if I knew the benefits before hand I would have done it previously. 

If you think you might have the same problem, I urge you to seek a doctor or a nutritionist. Do not make the changes on your own!   

Glutenfri, mælkefri ... og kødfri?

En ting er helt at udelade mælkeprodukter og glutenholdige produkter fra ens kost, en anden er at overveje at skære ned på ens forbrug af kød også! Jeg bliver aldrig vegetar eller veganer, til trods for at jeg virkelig godt kan lide deres argumenter for at sortere bl.a. kød ud af deres kost. Men her på det sidste har jeg fundet ud af i hvor høj grad vores "kød-forbrug" er med til at ødelægge den jord vi nu engang bor på og det kan vi da ikke have. I et stykke tid har jeg derfor overvejet og undersøgt hvordan jeg kunne skære ned på kød-forbruget men stadig få den næring jeg har brug for. Problemet med det her er, at kød godt kan synes at være den eneste kilde til at blive fuldkommen mæt når man hverken har brød eller mælkeprodukter til at kompensere for den manglende proteinkilde... 
Dette forblev min opfattelse indtil jeg faldt over en artikel i Iform, hvor de sammenlignede mængden af protein i forskelligt kød overfor forskellige bønner og snacks. Faktisk viste det sig at soyabønnen havde væsentligt mere protein i sig end kødet som var anført som det mest protein-indholdige af al kød. 

Nedenstående lister er fra en artikel fra iform og er målt pr 100 gram: 

Top 10 proteiner i fisk, kød og æg	Top 10 proteiner i bønner og linser	Top 10 proteiner i snacks
Tun: 27 g Kylling: 26 g Sardiner: 25 g Rejer: 24 g Kalkun: 22 g Torskerogn: 22 g Roastbeef: 22 g Røget laks: 21 g Helleflynder: 21 g Æg: 13 g	Soya bønner: 36 g Røde linser: 27 g Brune linser: 25 g Mungbønner: 24 g Hvide bønner: 21 g Kikærter: 20 g Brune bønner: 19 g Tofu: 8 g Bønnespirer: 3 g Grønne bønner: 2 g	Hørfrø: 25 g Peanuts: 25 g Peanutbutter: 23 g Pistacienødder: 21 g Mandel: 21 g Cashewnødder: 17 g Pecannødder: 10 g Rosiner: 4 g Tørret figen: 4 g Tørret abrikos: 3 g

Ydermere, introducerede en god veninde mig for noget der lignede spagetti men var lavet af soja-bønner, hvilket jo resulterede i at der faktisk var utroligt mange proteiner i pr 100 gram. De kan købes i Fakta og hedder: "Økologisk Fettucini lavet af sojabønner". 

Pludselig synes det at være glutenfri og mælkefri, og have kødfrie dage ikke helt umuligt. Nu handler det blot om at finde gode og nemme opskrifter!

Amazing and easy diary-free ice cream!

I have literally tried any type of diary-free ice-cream, but non as good as this one. It is one of the Danish Fitness / healthy food-guru's that made this in TV the other day, and I just have to share this recipe with anyone who wants to listen! IT IS AMAZING. If you are a Dane - look here. To those of you who don't understand Danish, I will translate. It is made by Michelle Kristensen and she has a lot of amazing ideas and easy recipes! I loooove this!

3 frozen bananas is put in a blender together with 0,5 dl almond milk, 2 fresh dates (remove stone) and 1 teaspoon peanutbutter. Blend it all and eat!! It is amazing and I simply cannot get enough! The other day I included some frozen berries and it did not destroy the ice-cream.

Hopefully you will love this ice-cream as much as me.. and do check out her site! She is amazing!
