Introduction
Grain free eating can be hard to think about in a culture that uses flour, corn and other refined starches in almost every food. For some of us, however, grains aren't the healthiest option. Mounting evidence suggests that heavy carbohydrate consumption simply isn't ideal for a significant portion of the population. If you're among these people, you're better off choosing a protein-heavy diet that helps you keep your blood sugar consistent and reduces your risk of diabetes and similar conditions.
For others, the gluten found in a wide variety of grains like wheat, rye and some oats can cause serious digestive and metabolic problems. Whether you have a grain allergy or you suffer from gluten intolerances such as celiac disease, your body simply can't digest grains properly. In severe cases, the nutritional deficiencies caused by this problem can lead to fuzzy thinking, deterioration of the bones and teeth, and even serious mood disorders. The solution is simple: just discontinue grains.
Last but not least, you may wish to avoid grains if you're following a paleo-style diet. These eating plans focus on the foods that were available to our ancestors before the advent of agriculture. That means that grains were consumed infrequently at best, and they were never processed into flour or other highly refined products. The diet relies much more heavily on fresh fruits, vegetables, tubers and animal products such as meat. If you follow a paleo diet, you'll find plenty of material here to keep your tastebuds happy and your body healthy.
The Problem of Grains
Grains such as wheat, rice, corn, barley and rye have been an essential part of human diets all over the world since the invention of agriculture. They are appealing, easy to produce in large quantities, and simple to cook. Unfortunately, they aren't necessarily the ideal option for many people. Modern varieties of grains may be especially prone to problems. They have been modified extensively from their ancestral form, containing far more starch and less fiber than their ancestors. In many cases, they seem to be more likely to cause metabolic diseases, intolerances and other problems than even the grains that were available just a century ago.
The problem becomes even more serious when genetically-modified foods appear on the scene. While the basic mechanism of genetic modification is the same whether the process occurs in the field through breeding or in a lab, modern science makes gene tinkering extremely easy. We don't know whether this process has any significant side effects, however. Since many of the grains currently on the market have been genetically modified, it can be hard to tell whether they're having an effect on your health.
These issues are part of why so many people are choosing to limit or eliminate grains in their diet. While grain free dieting isn't for everyone, a significant percentage of the people who try it find themselves feeling stronger, more energetic and healthier. Headaches, excess weight gain and even some long-lasting health problems decrease and even vanish in many people. In many cases, it seems as though our bodies simply aren't meant to use grains in the forms that are currently available.
Transitioning to a Grain Free Diet
If you have reason to believe that you could benefit from a grain free diet, you may still have trouble making the leap. After all, most cultures still have a basic
