Clearly, people who are starting to make improvements should be content with the progress they have made. That is what common sense would dictate. "Rome was not built in a day." Therefore, years of sedentary living, bad diet and no vitamins is not going to  correct  a problem which has been getting worse by the season for twenty years. That is what one generally hears, at least.

The trouble is that this is the counsel from people who themselves are sedentary, refuse to use vitamins and think that the only important thing about eating is to not consume too much grocery store food. This gives them the right, so they think, to comment on the efforts of a new fitness enthusiast. That will most likely be a parent, or a next door neighbor. But MDs quite often fall into this category as well.

Perhaps these people are all right to some degree. While adherence to a fitness lifestyle will make some rather dramatic changes in under a year, it may not be as great as it is often "cracked up" to be. That is, a new devotee may find that the mirror is becoming his or her best friend, but that the good old feelings from "back in the day" are just not returning. Why might that be true?

There are numerous places to look for the answer. One place is in the workouts, which are being faithfully done. Are they really working all of the muscles in a way which works the entire system? Or, are they being half-heartedly gone through while talking on the cell phone, for instance? Or, what about the diet? Is it really low fat and without any of the problematic staples that every expert on the internet warns about? Could it be that it is just a smaller version of the same old eating habits that were always there before? Or, what about supplements? Is this just a One a Day or Centrum, or are they part of well-planned battery of supplements encouraged by someone well versed in mega-dosing such as the Balch MD team?

For the sake of argument, it is possible that all of these questions have been taken into consideration and acted upon. If so, that would account for the new image which is becoming apparent in the mirror. However, it may still be that there is something personally felt to be missing. Ought that feeling be taken seriously?

The answer is "yes." If all were going as well as could be expected, the lagging doubt that something is still needs to be done would not be there. This is counter to the common sense belief that such things are "all in your head." Nevertheless, you may believe this if your last check-up with MD went well and he or she was pleased with your newly experienced progress. That would all suggest that you are doing as well as can be expected.

However, you yourself know there is still something missing. You just do not feel as good as you think you should. And there must be something that can be done about it.

if that is how you feel, there is another place to look for an answer. It has to do with wheat. As Americans we eat breads and pastas; and we like our beer, the lite variety, of course. We are even told that we need to have enough of these to keep up our energy levels; and we are looked at strangely if we refuse a lite beer, eat only the hot dog but not the bun, and leave the whole wheat toast on the plate, eating just the eggs. The same goes for breakfast cereals and pizza, as these are all major parts of the American good life and they are FDA approved. Therefore, no one who is American should ever be without them, or so it is believed.

All due respect should be given to our great nation, to say nothing of the FDA. But proving that you were born here and living rightly by the standards of peers, does not have to go hand in hand with eating the things that not only make you feel miserable, but also slow the changes which are resulting from your newly acquired fitness lifestyle. In short, then, wheat may be the causing trouble.

Not everyone digests wheat the same. There are just different natural chemicals in all of us. As a result some simply cannot turn wheat products into energy, shortly afterward  eliminating  it from the system. Unfortunately common internet knowledge suggests there are far more people nowadays who cannot efficiently do so. That is why there is so much advice on dropping all wheat products from your diet, to say nothing of celebrity written books that are supposedly on their way to the bookstores. in short, if you want to look stellar on the beach for the summer, the wheat has got to go.

It is never easy to make a change like this. We are all to some degree addicted to the foods we have grown up with and which are we all find enjoyable. However, there are some which may be holding us back from being all that we can become and from feeling as good as we can feel. If that is the case, a little homework on how to revamp your diet is something that should definitely be considered.
