Jim's First Gluten-free Body-for-life Challenge

As some of you know, I had a rough start to 2009 due to illness. By summer, it was determined that at the heart of my medical issues was Celiac. I started on a gluten-free diet and began a 12-week Body-for-LIFE challenge on August 24th, following the BFL fitness/weight-loss program and riding my bike like a mad man... I've attempted many BFL challenges in the last several years but they were usually derailed by illness.

I created a music/progress video celebrating my big comeback with clips from my bike rides and progress photos from my very successful challenge (8/24/09 - 11/14/09). The song is "Turnaround". Pretty darn fitting... :D

This link will play the video directly from YouTube.

AWESOME!! Congrats!

My mother did the BFL challenge back when I was a senior in highschool and into the summer afterwards. Wow, that's nearly 10 years ago :o She lost over 40 lbs! She looked like a fitness competitor with her 6-pack abs and biceps at 38 yrs old!

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
