As far as you know. Many people feel bad while eating grains. They don't know that it's the grains. They're not even allergic to gluten, they just have strange symptoms or feel tired. Then they stop eating them and feel like superman. I'm not saying it's the case for you, I don't know, but it's worth trying it, really.

No grains means almost no processed foods too, 'cause you'll have a hard time finding processed foods without wheat.

Another question about grains: do you eat them whole, or refined? If refined, it's clear that you should stop, white bread, white flour, white pasta & pizza, white rice etc IS bad. Again, some people will be more sensitive than others to that, but it's definitely #1 things I would eliminate! Refining grains is a very recent dietary jump btw, about a hundred years...

If you switch from refined grains to whole grains, it could happen that you don't notice any difference, if you don't tolerate grains at all. That's why I would completely cut them off for one month, and then try with whole grains and see if it's better/worse.

I haven't. For me meat is bad indeed. I notice that very clearly. It messes with my digestion, prevents me from sleeping and makes me feel very crappy. But that's just me. Maybe I'm genetically still the monkey-like human eating no meat.

Are you afraid of bold claims?

Seriously, maybe some people have genetically adapted to meat, grains, and dairy, and others not. I didn't. You have to find out at which point you stopped adapting
