Ep 151 Is Gluten Free Carb Loading Different?

This week's conversation about Intermittent Fasting with Carla centres on an instagram post from someone I admire greatly in the celiac world.  Selena DeVries is a Registered Dietitian who I know from interviews on my other podcast "A Canadian Celiac Podcast" and her work with the Canadian Celiac Association. Selena works mostly with celiacs who have ongoing or persistent symtoms once they start the gluten free diet.  Recently Selena posted her opinions on the gluten free diet for those with celiac disease.  Carla and I break down the points Selena brings up and give our opinions as well.  You can follow Selena at celiac_dietitican and you can follow Carla at celiac_and_the_suburbs.

This week I chat with Tamie as she is in the final couple of weeks before her half marathon.  Although Tamie is taking on a physical challenge that I would never think to take on, the mind games and the discipline that she must strive for is something we can all relate to.  You might be surprised how much your daily life resembles someone who in my mind is a very accomplished athlete.  We talk about energy smoothies and how she fits in making time for her runs with all her other family obligations - something most of us can relate to.

This week I catch up with Carla as she is getting her kids ready for school as well as working on a special project for her employer to help taste test bagels.  Now that's a dream job!  I'm curious as to how people react to her when she turns down food and says she's fasting.  Carla has lots of answers for us.  You can follow Carla on Instagram @celiac_and_the_suburbs.  If you would like more information on the kids camp, you can look up www.campceliac.ca.

This week's episode is both encouraging and bittersweet.  Tamie is continuing her training for her half marathon run and is learning more about what gives her body energy.  Sara has decided to leave the podcast due to personal commitments.  Sara's work life has been somewhat challenging of late with juggling night shift and family life.  We talk about her experiences on the podcast and I put out a call for any of our listeners who might consider taking Sara's place to contact me.  If this is something you might consider exploring, please email me at [email protected] and we can go over some of what is involved in being a part of this podcast.

This week I speak with Carla who is practising an intermittent fasting lifestyle while eating a strict gluten free diet.  Carla is travelling again.  She did something surprising when one of the kids asked for a sweet treat, as well we chatted about how she approaches eating at get togethers.  Carla has the excuse of the gluten free diet, to turn foods down, but does the "I'm fasting" excuse seem easier?

This week I chat with Tamie and Sara.  Tamie is back from her camping holiday and full into training for her half-marathon.  We have an interesting discussion about how gluten free pasta can't compare with wheat pasta for a pre-run meal.  Sara, who is back working nights is still experimenting with an eating schedule and is currently trying one big meal and one snack to both try and get her nutrition in as well as share a meal with her family.

This week I speak with Carla who is travelling again with family and friends.  This time it's a longer trip to Vancouver.  We talk about how she handled eating on the plane, as well as preparing for restaurants in a new city, all while following an intermittent fasting lifestyle.

This week I chat with both Tamie and Sara.  Tamie is on a camping trip with her family and taking time to get in her running. Sara is currently working night shift and trying hard to spend some daylight time with her family.  Clearly working nights is not helping Sara establish any sort of exercise routine, whereas Tamie is able to prioritize her running during her holidays. We all have different pressures on us in combination with the gluten free diet.

This week Carla and I catch up. She has had success with her 800 calorie days, but realized she just couldn't keep it up with family holidays and summer events.  She is looking to getting back into an exercise routine, now that her injury is on the mend.  As well, she is challenged to plan restaurant choices for her upcoming family trip.  The good news is she's close to her weight goal!

I've spoken to both Tamie and Sara about their favourite gluten free foods for summer - now I'm quizzing them about salads.  Enjoying a salad certainly comes in handy when you are eating gluten free at a restaurant, as that is often the only option on offer.  Both Tamie and Sara have some interesting options that are new to me.   Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com Facebook – Gluten Free Weigh In Instagram - @glutenfreeweighin Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – A Canadian Celiac Podcast - https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Canadian Celiac Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com
