I dropped 20 lbs with dedicated exercising and «proper» food intake (ie, dropped cheese intake to only 1 - 2 oz a day, no refined sugars, did mostly sprouted grains, increased proteins).
* My family does best on a mostly gluten free diet — the exception I make is for challah bread I make for Shabbat (Sabbath)-- either a sprouted whole grain challah or variations of my sourdough no - knead bread.
