I don't think I could live without carbohydrates. Great energy source. I don't have any food allergies however, I eat bread everyday, whole wheat or white, love a good french bread, and I eat pasta a couple times a week too. If you sprinkle pasta with flax seed or similar you can avoid a lot of the 'sticky' gluten problems. Or eat plenty of veggies at the same time, basil pesto my favorite.

Two years seems like an awful long time to stay on a diet. I thought diets were things you did for a while and then went back to normal eating afterwards.

If there is one thing you should avoid forever it's sugar, and of course chemical sweeteners that subsitute for sugar. Xylitol and stevia are my favorite alternatives.
