What Happened After I Gave Up Gluten For 10 Years? It's Not What You Think
At age 13, I made the connection that chicken nuggets were made from actual chickens and became a vegetarian on the spot. I was also insanely picky, so pasta, bagels, and pizza were my main staples. Sadly, vegetables, fruit, and whole grains hardly made it onto my plate, especially when I went off to college. Going vegan wasn't a big jump, since meat was already out of the picture, and I found giving up dairy eased my ongoing digestive issues. I still wasn't 100 percent though, until the day I gave up gluten.
No lie, the first day I passed on gluten, I felt instantly better. Without all those crackers, cereal, and bowls of pasta weighing down my digestive tract, my belly felt more at ease. Since I was new to the whole gluten-free scene, I ate foods I knew were gluten-free like fruits and veggies. So for the first few weeks, I had no bloating, no gas, no constipation. I felt like a new me, which almost made it easy to give up on all my favorite foods.
But after the first two weeks, I was so, so sad — I didn't realize I was obsessed with gluten until I had to give it up. I found myself daydreaming about stealing muffins from the bakery and swimming in bowls of Honey Nut Cheerios. I became completely focused and utterly upset over all the foods I couldn't have. I mourned for all the times I was hanging with friends and couldn't sling back a beer, grab a slice of pizza, or enjoy someone's adorable birthday cupcakes. It seems silly to get depressed over missing out on Gramma's baked ziti, but it was very real for me.
Before spiraling into a deep, dark, gluten-free hole, I took my first trip to the health food store and discovered all the gluten-free alternatives to my fave foods. I bought it all and ate it all. I even bought foods I never ate like gluten-free waffles and mini pecan pies, just because I could eat them. These foods uplifted my spirit tremendously, but big shocker here — my stomach once again waged war. And to make matters worse, after two months of eating this way, I found my need for elastic waistbands increasing. Isn't going gluten-free supposed to help with weight loss? Uh, not if you eat gluten-free junk food full of empty calories.
I realized I needed to cut back on all the gluten-free crap if I ever wanted to fit into my jeans again — a woman cannot live on French fries and gluten-free cookies alone! It forced me to really take a look at my diet, and I slowly started eating fewer gluten-free alternatives and more actual food. I began branching out, enjoying such a huge variety of healthy foods that I started feeling as good as I did those first couple of gluten-free weeks. And it wasn't because I wasn't eating gluten — it was because I was eating real food and less processed junk.
After 10 years of living without gluten and eating a superhealthy diet, I felt amazing. My new boyfriend at the time (my now-husband) suggested I try eating gluten, just to see if my body had changed. The thought had never crossed my mind, but love makes you do crazy things. On an apple-picking trip in the Fall of 2005, a freshly baked cider doughnut was calling my name. That's me in the photo above, taking my first magical bite, and I couldn't believe it, but I felt totally fine. No tummy issues whatsoever. Even after going back to whole-grain bread, crackers, and pasta — gluten didn't bother me anymore. It took me 10 years to realize this, but gluten wasn't my enemy. This might be TMI, but constipation caused by a crappy diet was. Giving up gluten forced me to get out of the habit of eating bread 24/7, to start branching out to eating more nutritious foods, and to get more fiber into my diet. Now I'm able to enjoy gluten without going overboard, and because my vegetarian and dairy-free diet is so much healthier than it was 10 years ago, I'm also able to maintain a healthy weight. Hooray for gluten! And hooray for whole foods!

This Math Problem Will Make You Question Everything You Ever Knew About Algebra
Math isn't everyone's best skill — and even those who are good at it are questioning everything after trying this algebra problem.
The question originally went viral in Japan, after a study discovered that only 60 percent of 20-somethings could actually solve it. Are you already feeling frustrated and hopeless at trying to know what the answer is? Watch the video below, posted by YouTube user MindYourDecisions, a popular math puzzle channel. In it, Presh Talwalkar, the mastermind behind this question, will guide you to the right answer.
As you can see, not even a calculator can help you, as it will read the problem wrong and arrive at the answer of 9. To solve it correctly in a calculator, you need to write it out like this: 9-3/(1/3) + 1, which will lead you to 1 as the correct answer. The problem tests your knowledge of PEMDAS, the order of operations formula, which says you must get to the answer by following these steps in this order: parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. In this question, that means dividing 3 by the 1/3 first, which is the same as 3x3. That will then lead you to 9-9+1. From there, 9-9=0 + 1 = 1. Ta-da!
If you arrived at 3, 7, or 9 as your answer, you're not alone. Most people have forgotten how to use PEMDAS or interpret the fraction of 1/3 the wrong way. Still not feeling much of a challenge? Try this other math question that not even parents could solve.

This Remake of Bomba Estéreo's "Soy Yo" Music Video Will Convince You to Vote
Sarai Gonzalez is back with a new version of Bomba Estéreo's "Soy Yo" music video and this time she's using her attitude and busting out some cool dance moves to school another bully by getting you out to vote on Nov. 8. In a new promo for People For the American Way, Sarai rallies Latinos in her neighborhood and guides them to the polls after watching a snippet of Donald Trump at the last presidential debate.
In a press release, Sarai, who became a viral star after appearing in the now iconic music video, said: "I was excited to do this video because this election is so important. I've had enough of Donald Trump. He's unkind and he's dishonest. Even all the kids in my school know how racist he is and that he can't be president. He would make America much worse, not better. That's why everyone needs to vote." Press play above to see how she's helping to make that happen.

Why You Should Stop Believing Any Facebook Post That Guarantees Your Privacy
It feels like every year, another viral post goes around on Facebook warning users that everything is going public and that somehow you can stop it from happening. This time around, the post explains that all your private photos, messages, and more are about to become public, unless you post a disclaimer that says otherwise.
The post reads as follows:
"Deadline tomorrow !!! Everything you've ever posted becomes public from tomorrow. Even messages that have been deleted or the photos not allowed. It costs nothing for a simple copy and paste, better safe than sorry. Channel 13 News talked about the change in Facebook's privacy policy. I do not give Facebook or any entities associated with Facebook permission to use my pictures, information, messages or posts, both past and future. With this statement, I give notice to Facebook it is strictly forbidden to disclose, copy, distribute, or take any other action against me based on this profile and/or its contents. The content of this profile is private and confidential information. The violation of privacy can be punished by law (UCC 1-308- 1 1 308-103 and the Rome Statute). NOTE: Facebook is now a public entity. All members must post a note like this. If you prefer, you can copy and paste this version. If you do not publish a statement at least once it will be tactically allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in the profile status updates. DO NOT SHARE. Copy and paste."
However, none of this is true. Facebook isn't making everything public (some of it probably already is due to your privacy settings) and no matter what you do, Facebook is free to do whatever it wants with the information on your profile. See, when you sign up for Facebook, you agree to the company's Terms of Service and you can't alter that with a Facebook post.
If you are concerned about what's on your profile, we recommend doing a privacy checkup on your account and limiting what you post on social media. In the meantime, don't reshare this post - or delete it if you already have.

Why These 4 Star Trainers Think You Should Be Taking More Gym Selfies
Love 'em or hate 'em, we shouldn't judge someone's gym selfie — it might just be helping that person reach their fitness goals. Several high-profile trainers all agree that progress photos, gym selfies, and quick snaps from your run are the ultimate way to stay on track, motivate yourself, feel energized, and measure progress.
When we sat down with Instagram sensation Kayla Itsines earlier this year, we asked her what she suggests to clients when they're feeling unmotivated. She told us that she encourages anyone hitting a slump to reflect on their progress photos to see how far they've come, and she also emphasized the importance of taking photos during each step of your fitness journey.
"My whole life is fitness, but of course I lose motivation too," she told POPSUGAR, but she looks to that visual community for inspiration — and you should, too! She suggested that anyone looking for extra accountability and motivational help should "join the [BBG] community and post progress photos" to keep themselves on track. Her encouragement sparked millions of women around the world to create specific "BBG accounts" on Instagram for just their gym and progress photos.
"It's OK to take a selfie. . . . You should be really proud of that. If it keeps you moving, great!"
Tone It Up founders Karena Dawn and Katrina Scott would agree and have noted that these pictures help individuals track progress. Not only do they encourage consistent check-ins on Instagram from their workouts (which can be found on popular hashtags like #TIUcheckin and #TIUteam), but they also encourage taking progress photos so you can gauge where you're at, saying, "Whether you want to lose weight, add muscle, tone up, or just become healthier, before [and after] pictures are the way to go!"
We also asked author of Shut Up and Run, Robin Arzon, about taking pictures on your run or while you're training. "People should be sharing their goals and successes," she told us. "It's OK to take a selfie on your route. . . . You should be really proud of that. If it keeps you moving, great!"
So there you have it — trainers from Australia to NYC saying to go ahead and snap that selfie. Your superfit, superaccomplished self will thank you later.
44 Times the Royals Were So Ridiculously High Fashion, We Couldn't Believe Our Eyes
When we think about Kate Middleton, Queen Letizia, Crown Princess Victoria, and the rest of the royals, elegant, coordinated looks often come to mind. But just for a second - slip off those white gloves and netted fascinators, because we're focusing on high-fashion outfits only.

Yes, these women know a thing or two about style, and when it comes to selecting favorite designers, they're well versed. Read on for 44 times our favorite royal icons gave up the satin gown for sophisticated minis splashed with graphics or, dare we say it, luxe-looking jumpsuits, mixed prints, and even leather! Perhaps not all members of the court would approve of these eye-catching ensembles, but we bet they'd make any street style star's heart skip a beat.

Hailey Baldwin and Kendall and Kylie Jenner Are Already Brainstorming Their Halloween Costumes

While we won't divulge all the details, we did hear Hailey mention a '90s pop-star theme, and we know exactly what outfits we'd want to see them wear based on their signature styles. Read on to see the costumes we picked out for Hailey, Kendall, and Kylie, and check back later to see what they ended up rocking on Halloween.

Halloween and the Big Kid
"Aren't you a little old to be trick-or-treating?"
Y'all know that thought. Trick-or-treating is something many kids in this nation partake in with their precious costumes and even cuter smiles. They infest our streets and walk up to our doors and we happily hand them candy. Except the big kids. The Big Kids. Those kids that look "too old" to be taking part in an event for the little kids.
Often I read about what age kids stop trick-or-treating. The perspectives vary greatly. And I know I've been one to see a big kid walk up to my door and think: "For real? Aren't you a little old for that? This is for the little kids."
Sigh. This is the part where I have to respectfully request something a little unorthodox.
Please don't ask that. Or think that. Here's why: Not every big kid is an older kid. I happen to know firsthand. You see, my 8-year-old also happens to be 5'2". Yes, you read that right. My 8-year-old is 5 feet and 2 inches tall. She's actually taller than some grown adults. Princess dresses and innocence have long been a thing of her past. Because she's just too tall. So guess what, princess costumes? No way. Not happening for my little one.
I've watched as adults have treated her like a 12-year-old because, you know, she looks like one. And this year, I'm determined to welcome EVERY kid at our door that wants to trick or treat. We spend so much time cherishing their youth that when it passes us by, we almost miss it. For my girl, she just can't wear some costumes fit for her age because she doesn't fit. But her sweet little brain is still 8 years old. She's an 8-year-old little girl and she desperately just wants to be an 8-year-old little girl.
She wants to be little. She wants to be innocent. She wants to have fun.
Those big kids are trying to hold on to the innocent nature of their childhood too. Are they taking candy from the littles? Maybe. However, if that's what it takes to preserve the innocence that social media, the news, the world will eventually take from them, then I have one thing to say.
Give them the candy.
So please, I beg of you, don't judge my "big" kid for trick-or-treating. Because after all, she's still little inside.
Eva Longoria on Her Career: "It's in My Nature to Be in Charge"
Eva Longoria is, without a doubt, one of the hardest working women in Hollywood. With directing gigs, a packed production slate, a fashion line at The Limited, and special projects that leave her stylishly jetting around the world, her career is seriously admirable. And Eva's latest sizzling magazine spread celebrates all her achievements: she's Ocean Drive's November 2016 cover star!
In her interview with the magazine, Eva opened up about important issues like gender equality and the election, but she also took the time to weigh in on things like social media, her fitness routine, and her past. Keep reading for a sneak peek at what she had to say, then admire Eva's best outfits so far this year.
- On society's gender bias: "There's a reason we haven't had a female president in our history. There is a gender bias in politics, in the workplace, and in the society - and to say there's not is very naïve. I don't have a problem telling people if something's not quite right, or course-correcting - but it has to be done in the right way. I'm cooperative, respectful, and very honest. Just because I'm a boss lady doesn't mean I have to be a b*tch. In my head, I was always a director and producer - it's in my nature to be in charge."
- On what Hillary Clinton has taught her: "I learned this from Hillary Clinton: Take criticism seriously, but not personally. Whether it's that someone doesn't like a piece of clothing I design, or my acting, or my restaurant, it's important to hear the complaint."
- On social media: "I'm glad that there was no Twitter or Instagram when Housewives started, for sure. It was definitely a different world back then. Social media can be overwhelming. I don't really have rules for myself - it's just common sense. I have a very private husband, so I don't really post with him, and of course I don't post the kids for security reasons. But I share a lot, and I use it for charity and my clothing line. It's a great tool when used correctly."
- On her past relationships: "I think every relationship is a path to where you are today. Every wrong turn led you to the spot where you are, so it wasn't necessarily the wrong turn at the time. I wouldn't change anything - never."
- On how she stays so fit: "There's no secret formula - diet and exercise take work. I've always had a good metabolism, but at some point, everyone's stops. For me, it was at around 35. You eat a bowl of pasta, and you're like, 'Oh, this doesn't just go away anymore.'"

The Ring Thing Lets You Train Like A Pro Gymnast
We were totally fan-girling over the insane gymnastics routines we saw at the 2016 Rio Games this Summer. One category that was seriously lacking in girl power was the Olympic rings event. Currently that category is exclusive to male competitors, but that's not about to stop Hannah Bronfman from using it as inspiration in her workout. In this episode of Hannahgram Hannah tried her hand at the Ring Thing, a gymnastics-ring-inspired rig that uses 50% of your body weight to help you master everything from a muscle up to a swing-handstand.
Ring Thing classes are being offered by Body + Pole in NYC.

So Far, Hailey Baldwin's "Jacket Game" Has Been as Hot as Her Swimwear
Hailey Baldwin may have treated her swimwear like a second skin last Summer, but now that Fall's in full swing, the model has another piece she's rarely spotted without: a jacket. Her collection's quite impressive, too, between all the bombers, leather options, and puffers on rotation, but we can't say we're too shocked to see that this is the case. After all, Hailey did predict her outerwear would rule this season.
"I think my jacket game is going to be really strong this Fall," she told us, when we sat down to chat about her Ugg campaign. "I am just so into that. So we shall see."
Even before things got chilly, Hailey was showing up to events with an extra layer on. Scroll through some looks Hailey completed with a too-cute topper, then shop similar jacket options for yourself.

An Important Reminder to Not Judge People by Their Appearances - Especially at the Gym
An Imgur post about the conflation of gym culture and body shaming is going viral for all the right reasons. The post, shared by a frequent gym attendee, discusses the many ways in which people at the gym make assumptions about others based on their appearances.
The user introduced the post by expressing her own experience with feeling judged. She wrote, "When Chris and I first started working out at the Rec, we were judged hardcore." She added that she was being judged for seeming too confident and wearing a weightlifting belt, which she explained was something she had to wear following a back surgery.
The rest of the poignant story details the way in which people tend to judge or shame other people at the gym despite not knowing them or knowing their history.
The post currently has over 350,000 views. Read the necessary wake-up call in its entirety, below.
"When Chris & I first started working out at the Rec, we were judged hardcore. Someone even posted on Facebook about the "buff couple" & how they "thought they're hot shit because they wear their belts all the time". This was about two months after my back surgery & I did indeed wear my lifting belt during almost all of my workouts for support.My point is, everyone gets judged. People don't bother to understand where you're coming from or why you do the things you do.
That overweight guy? Someone judges him because of his weight, but little do they know he's already lost 100 pounds & has changed his entire life around.
That guy with the skinny legs? He's had seven knee surgeries & he's currently trying to strengthen his legs. It's just a long hard process.
That skinny girl you think "really needs to eat"? She's actually super self conscious about her thin figure & has been trying to gain weight, but her metabolism is super high.
That kid who follows you around & watches everything you do? He looks up to you and wants to learn your workouts, he's just scared to approach you.
That girl with really bad form? She had to mentally prepare to enter the weight room because she was terrified of people judging her. She second guesses every exercise, but she's too intimidated to ask anyone for advice.
That buff dude you think is cocky? He grew up in poverty and working out was his alternative to drugs or alcohol. He's not cocky-just focused.
That woman taking too long on the equipment you want? She's a single mom exhausted from working two jobs & raising three kids. She's trying to push herself to finish her workout, but she needs a little extra rest between sets.
That old man doing strange exercises and talking too much? He decided to get a gym membership to stay active & socialize after his wife passed away last year. Talking to you makes his day & has helped his depression.
There's more to people than what you see. Instead of jumping to conclusions or making judgements, take a moment to consider someone else's perspective.
Don't judge a book by its cover."

The Important Parenting Resource You Should Never Ignore
Imagine buying a brand-new appliance. You're so excited, but when you get home and open the box, your excitement quickly turns to confusion: there are five different instruction manuals, and they all say different things. Some of the instructions are similar but worded differently, and some are completely contradictory to the others — so there's absolutely no way of knowing which one is correct. You call your best friend for advice because she has an appliance like yours, but since hers is a slightly different model, you're not sure her advice will work for you. With a sinking feeling you realize that you're just going to have to figure it out on your own.
OK, so that may never happen with an appliance, but it happens with something far more complicated and important: our kids. If you think about it, that's almost exactly what we deal with as parents in the age of information. We are constantly bombarded with parenting advice from books and articles and TV shows and blog posts and pediatricians and child psychologists and sleep experts and nutritionists — some reliable, some questionable. Thanks to the internet, everyone has a platform, "expert" or not. If someone has a nice website and the ability to sound credible, it's hard to tell whether they're a genuinely reputable source or just another person with internet access and an opinion. Is it any wonder we're completely baffled sometimes? It's not our fault we can't make heads or tails of all this mess.
Luckily, we have at our disposal the single most valuable parenting tool — and no, it's not the World Wide Web. It's something far older and much more reliable: our gut instinct, the same one that protected our ancestors from being eaten by prehistoric bears and led them to find food and shelter for their families. It is literally one of the biggest reasons why humanity has existed for so long. But despite all that, we don't trust it nearly as often as we should, just because great-aunt Mabel or our neighbor's pediatrician or some schmo with a keyboard (and yes, I appreciate the irony here) have fed us tidbits of conflicting information. Deep down, we feel like we ought to know what to do, but we're drowning in a deluge of well-meaning advice that often makes us second-guess ourselves.
I'll never forget the time my son, then 2 years old, kept whining uncomfortably any time someone would touch his arm. Putting on his jacket, buckling him into his car seat, giving him a bath — all those scenarios would result in him acting as though he was sore. But he didn't raise a huge fuss, nothing looked abnormal, and I didn't recall him injuring himself, so I dismissed my concerns for a couple of days, hoping that whatever it was would resolve itself quickly. After all, I didn't want to be "that mom" who rushes her kid to the doctor for every tiny snort and sniffle. Still, his reaction kept nagging at me, so I finally relented and took him to see the pediatrician.
When we got to the appointment and she examined him, he didn't flinch. The same child who had been griping about his arm for days now sat in the doctor's office as stoic and nonchalant as can be. Not so much as a grimace or a wince as she gently pulled, bent, and flexed the offending appendage. "Great," I thought. "She's going to think I'm completely overreacting."
Apparently, though, the doctor was much better at trusting her instincts than I was, because she recommended an x-ray "to be safe." And as it turns out, my poor baby had been walking around for half a week with a broken wrist. I felt like the worst mom in the world; had I listened to my inner guidance to begin with, he would never have had to go through as much pain as he did. But though it unfortunately came at his expense, it taught me a very important lesson. When your instinct speaks, you listen.
I promise, you know more than you think you do — even when you've never done this before. Nobody knows your child the way you do. Nobody else spends as much time, or invests as much of themselves, in your child. No one else is as much of an expert at predicting how your quirky, unique little individual will react to something. Will you make a few mistakes along the way? Sure; parenting is nothing if not trial-and-error. But a few minor missteps aren't going to screw anyone up for life. The biggest disservice to your child would be not heeding the advice of the one person who knows more about him or her than anyone else: yourself.
So go forth with confidence, mamas. Take a deep breath and do what feels right. Don't worry about that article you read on the internet; dig deep enough, and you're bound to find some sort of study contradicting it anyway. In the grand scheme of things, your intuition will never steer you wrong. Listen to what others have to say — after all, these days it's hard not to — but in the end, the best decisions are the ones you already know deep down.

8 Brunette-Friendly Rainbow Hair Colors That Are Perfect For Cooler Weather
When I first covered rainbow hair in the Summer of 2014, I was spotlighting a select few women who were bold enough to rock unexpected colorful coifs in everyday life. Since then, the style has evolved to become a universally beloved look. Whether you're walking through the streets of New York City or Hong Kong, you'll see dozens of varied manes, including rose gold hair, amethyst strands, or denim dye jobs.
Equally apparent as these vibrant heads of hair is that the rainbow trend is especially popular among blondes (both natural and bleached). This is because light strands are an excellent foundation for electric dye . . . the color just pops on top. As a brunette, I felt jealous of this advantageous hair color and bemoaned my darker 'do. That is, until colorist and Brush In Hand owner Hannah Edelman created the now-viral chocolate mauve trend, which incorporated the client's naturally brunette roots.
According to Edelman, almost all hair needs to be prelightened for rainbow.
"I ask my clients to imagine they have a half white, half dark brown piece of paper in front of them," said Edelman. "If they painted a pink line with watercolor paint across both halves, where would they see the color? Only on the white paper. Semipermanent hair color is the same: completely translucent." She added, "You cannot get around the fact the hair needs to be lightened."
In the world of hair dye, there is a color wheel that assigns numbers to (natural) hair colors, starting with one — black — and ending with platinum 10. To tint their strands with rainbow shades, brunettes need to lift their natural color to a minimum of a level six on the hair color wheel (which is the darkest shade of blond you can be without being a light brunette).
That said, if you are wary about making the plunge and fully committing to platinum blond, you can make the process easier on yourself and your hair. Try an ombré balayage style, which will fade nicely into a standard blond and require much less upkeep than a completely bleached foundation.
The rainbow hue you select will also indicate how much you should lighten your hair. "Blues and violets should have a level eight or nine base," said Edelman. (These are pale blonds.) "For reds, oranges, and yellows, and greens, hair needs to be lifted to a level seven or eight," but she acknowledged that red will be visible (albeit less powerful) on a level six blond. Those who feel passionate about achieving pastel hair should know that you must bleach your hair all the way to a "level 10 with minimal warmth" (white blond).
Now that you're likely feeling more intrigued about pursuing colorful hair, we have good news. Edelman has divulged her favorite Fall/Winter rainbow styles that cater best to brunettes. Should you be convinced that you won't be able to pull off your top pick with your complexion, don't be: your skin tone should not be the ultimate deciding factor.
"Vivids are already breaking the rules," she said. "You can rock anything as long as you're sassy." So whether you're in search of a more subtle style or a vivid rainbow look, you'll find some serious inspiration when you read on.

Bad News: The New MacBook Pro Requires Yet Another Dongle
There are some very cool things about the new MacBook Pros, but this isn't one of them. If you plan on plugging your iPhone into the new MacBook Pro, you're going to have to buy a USB type-C to USB A adapter ($19) or a USB type-C to Lightning cable ($25). This is because the new MacBook Pro has USB-C and Thunderbolt ports instead of Magsafe, HDMI, and USB type A ports. You'll also need another dongle for connecting the new Lightning EarPods to the new MacBook Pros. It's a dongle-eat-dongle world.
