My First week of the Gluten free switch

Over the past six months i have gained over 20 lbs.  One of my colleagues at work recommended reading the book Wheat Belly.  After listening to the audio book it seems that wheat gluten can cause excess belly fat no matter how much we exercise etc.  I thought I would slowly switch to a gluten free or mostly gluten free diet and share it with all my readers.  I would also appreciate any suggestions or tips on baking at high altitude.  One of my goals from this project is to start making my own gluten free bread etc.

This will definitely be a challenge since I love bagels, pasta, pizza and garlic bread. Oh and I'm a vegetarian.  I have also realized that everything i was using as vegetarian substitutions contain wheat gluten.  I hope everyone enjoys reading about our journey to be gluten free.
