No, I no longer feel like I am depriving or limiting myself. I am gluten and casein intolerant. When I first found out, I was really depressed and self-pitying. Then I did a ton of research on the relationship between food and health.

I read and researched so much stuff on diet and health that there is no way that that I can go back to eating grains or sugars. They are just terrible for health, they probably cause cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Actually, instead of deprived, I now feel privileged to have this knowledge and grateful that I can finally repair my body, and help others on the road to health.

I wish you the best on your journey. Instead of looking at it as depriving yourself, perhaps see it as eliminating poison from your diet.
