I held off on wheat & flour because there are SO many processed foods available with these in it that it takes away from the spirit of voluntary limitation that this is about. A side effect of that limitation is that it's easier to understand what it's like to have a serious allergy to something like wheat gluten. (The diet until now also doesn't have dairy or meat in it.)
On the other hand, it's helpful to consider how many foods are available even without meat, dairy or wheat. It's also good to note how many sources of protein can be found in the "allowed" foods so far.
Quinoa, in particular, is a great source of protein and other nutrients. It's not a actually a grain per se, but in terms of how it's used in cuisine, it might as well be thought of that way. It's a great food to add to a healthy, varied diet
