The more I learn about the food (or food like products) that I have eaten for the vast majority of my life, the more I am kind of surprised that I am not fatter. Do not get me wrong, I am a larger woman. Obese. Some days I feel downright gelatinous. Especially at water aerobics. I love my classes, and am getting back into them after 8 months away, but when I am jogging underwater, I feel like my body is loose, like gelatin. But, I am getting off topic.
Going Paleo helped to alleviate the bloated feeling that I had lived with for so long that I did not even realize it was there. Doing this green smoothie experiment, I felt even less of a bloated feeling after three days. It might all be mental, I am not sure. It might be a placebo effect, but I will take it. I feel mildly leaner, and non-bloated.
Filler are everywhere. I used to use fillers daily - pastas and rices in order to make my meals last longer, to make them more economical. I stopped doing that, and now am seeking the fillers present in any processed foods that I purchase. I am now much more careful about which spaghetti sauces I will buy. The cost is going up, but I feel better about what I am feeding to my daughters. I want to point them in the right direction where nutrition is concerned, so that they will, I pray, never feel gelatinous.
