Gyrobob that wheat free list of foods looks god awful boring... I'm gonna have to mod it with some flavor.... Boring is as boring does. What the hell does THAT mean? dunno. 
If you look at the list of "eliminate" and "never" foods as a list of loverly stuff you will have to give up for the rest of your life, making you feel miserable and deprived because nothing else is fun to eat,... you're gonna have problems. If you have that mindset, you are looking at this as a fad diet. You haven't actually bought in to the idea yet. If you can't shake this attitude, I would recommend you just blow the whole thing off.
Let's say all of a sudden you found out that jelly donuts cause cataracts. You find this out for real.
--- Let's say all your life you have been nearly addicted to jelly donuts because they SOOOOOOOO tasty.
--- But now, you are completely convinced that if you keep eating jelly donuts, within a month or so your lenses will cloud over and you won't be able to see anything other than light or dark anymore for the rest of your life. The Doc noticed a condition in your lenses that can stand no more food with huge carbs, fat, and wheat, so you have to stop now or go pretty much blind. No more motorcycles. No more TV. No more walking around by yourself. No more building things in a workshop. No more admiring of statuesque women.
--- How would you feel about jelly donuts now? Would you not feel like eating them anymore? Would it take the fun out of it? How hard would it be to quit jelly donuts now?
Let's say you were a lifetime smoker. You've always had some discomfort in your lungs, but it wasn't bad, and, besides everyone else smoked and you know lots of old guys that are still smoking. You really like it. Well you are in your 50s now, and feeling not all that great. You go to the Doc and he says "Quit smoking now and you might live another 10 or 20 years. Keep smoking and you'll die within the next few years. Your lungs are mostly destroyed, but if you quit now, you'll feel better and live a lot longer." What would you do? Would it ruin the fun of smoking? Or would you think that smoking was one of life's few real pleasures and that you just can't give it up? I have known folks in this situation. Some actually kept smoking. The latest friend was carrying around an oxygen tank to stuff oxygen up his nose and he kept right on smoking! He died way too soon.
If you actually understand what wheat does to you, you'll lose most of your desire for wheat stuff and, indeed, most foods with any grain ingredients. If you just view all this as maybe a way to lose some weight for a while, or try out an experiment, or maybe try some of the concepts but blow off what you don't like (blow off the wheat, but keep eating oatmeal, rice, corn, etc.), you'll be disappointed.
I'm not preaching here. It won't hurt my feelings if any or all of you remain unconvinced. I'm doing this because I AM convinced. I've researched this pretty hard, and I AM convinced. When I look at a cinnamon roll, I don't start salivating,... I am nearly repulsed. I feel the same about a big plate of durum pasta. The thrill is gone for anything I feel will put grains into me.
I'm in the phase now of finding out all the ways to make tasty stuff that has no grain in it. There really are lots of ways to have noodly things, dessert goodies, casseroles, meat dishes, etc., that have no grains at all.
I'm still hoping that a few of you can stick with this for a while. Try it out earnestly for a month or so to see if you have results like most folks do.
I suppose if you can wade through my preachy emails, that will be quite an accomplishment in itself, eh?
