Good tip, I didn't think it would be that easy !!
I've ordered a blender/juicer/smoothie maker, it will be delivered within 3 weeks, I am counting down the days...
I think the next purchase will be an ice-cream maker... I wanna try your mint choc chip ice-cream.
Although I'm still not sure if chocolate is starchy or not, and which variety is better : dark, white, milky... So many questions for my small brain...

NSD does not cut out carbs... only complex carbs (Starch). I eat so much veggies and fruits I live in the produce aisle.

I had physicals, and my numbers after being on this diet have never been better. I am going on 45 now and blood pressure is still excellent despite family history.

I easily stay at my ideal weight as well.

I for one do not use the almond, coconut flour etc... I eat a lot of veggies, fruits, a bit more meat than prior, but not much more. I also include walnuts nearly every day (handful) to eat.

Take care,

Tim

Thank you for all your replies!

I guess my big concern is the convenience factor - I work long hours and am often out on construction or mine sites so I'm worried about not having easy access to a food prep area/fridge and don't want to just live on cucumber sticks and a handful of almonds! And I have no idea what I'm going to eat for breakfast - if I have to cook eggs or similar, I'm going to have to get up at 4am and I already don't get enough sleep with the pain! *sigh* I think that was the hardest thing for me when I first went GF, not just being able to make a sandwich for lunch when it was convenient (I don't eat much GF pasta/bread anyway, it's more just knowing that it's there if I need it!). I do however LOVE my carrots, cashews, sweet potatoes, pumpkins.... I really dislike kale, celery, broccoli.....

I have been looking into the Paleo stuff - my husband and his mate are following out (although still having dairy) so maybe that's where I'll start for some recipe ideas!

Thanks again all!

I have been eating walnuts on this diet (States and ARgentina) for 11 years. Have yet to have a problem.

Almonds in States in for me were fine... here in Argentina I have more issues with them and have to moderate.

Brazil nuts, pecans, pine nuts are others I have eaten without issue... but do not enjoy quite like walnuts. And walnuts have the healthy omega oil.
