Edward Valenzuela

Married for 37 years with 3 kids and 5 grand kids. Retired from UPS where I worked for 33 years. Love to cook, garden, travel, being a docent at Big Break Regional Park, and spending time with family. I started a food blog ( [email protected] ) to show how and what I cook. Since I started cooking with out wheat or rice 16 months ago, since then my wife and I have lost 15% of our weight. It took about 3 months to accept a no wheat or rice diet, it was hard to change a life of wheat and rice in your diet. This diet with yoga and pilates has changed our life. My wife also has had an added bonus that we didn't expect. She has always had joint pain and allergys. Since we started the diet the joint pain has gone away and her allergys have almost totally disapeared. Also in our diet we have smoothies with 75% vegatables and 25% fruit, from fresh ingredients. I have a nice garden with many herbs and vegatables that we use in our meals.
