Is there such a thing as healthy chocolate chip cookies? Yes there is. It's this Paleo Chocolate Chip cookie recipe I got from the Wheat Belly Cookbook.
These are wheat free, dairy free and gluten free chocolate chip cookies. They are also incredibly filling. I find eating two is enough for a while. It helps that they are made from almond meal and not flour which is quite filling and nutritious.
I am aiming for a wheat free diet and so far I am feeling a whole lot better. I noticed a lot of other people who have been on this Wheat Belly diet have lost a lot of weight. So far I have lost none. Maybe I have been indulging in too many of the healthy bakery recipes!
Here's hoping some of this Christmas weight gets going soon as I would like to start fitting into my clothes again! Yes I went a bit too far last Christmas. I will make sure next Christmas I will be more restrained.
