10 Day Goal - Abstainance from enriched white flour - Want to Join? Please Do!

Ten days shouldn't be too hard.........right? Especially after reading this article and all of Oprah's rantings about it, I think this should be, at least for me, the next step.

Is Your Bread Slowly Killing You?

LOL GG--that was funny!
Last night I grabbed a piece of cold pizza after not having had anything to eat for hours--- without even thinking....
today has been successful.....I am on day one too.

This will be very good for awareness!!!! I am in the game--and feeling good today!

I really don't know much about white flour. OK, what are the most obvious white flour foods?

white bread, not whole wheat bread
chips of any type
croutons
pizza dough
taco shells, hard or soft
noodles

What am I missing, please?

Just look at the ingredients, it's usually numero uno.

I pretty stoked - I managed to avoid the chips at a Mexican food restaurant! Surely there are bonus points for that?

Yes--thank you--this reminds me to get back to being label conscious, for many food items I think are "ok" really aren't. It really is amazing how much "Cr*P" is in packaged foods. I have thought a lot about doing a raw diet at least for a while.
Thank you for this thread becasue I could do ok for a time with OS's but this stuff will bring me down quick too. I want balance!

Went shopping today and bought several organic and non organic whole grain alternatives: whole grain pizza, Amy's organic corn, black bean and cheese enchilada's, whole grain hot pockets...

Healthier choices are out there, I just have to open my eyes.

I've been having one of those TMI problems, and in my self pity, I rationalized sugar free Oreo's and of course the very first ingredient is none other than enriched white flour! Anyways, I'm back to one!

Hop on board! Everyone is welcome!!!

I couldn't do it! Maybe later I'll try again, but for now I'm not into it.
