Conflictedli

So AJ has embraced the wheat free life style.  He has been to Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Cub, Costco and Linden Hills Coop looking for ingredients like coconut oil, xanthum gum and shiritaki noodles.  He made a chocolate pie (that might as well be a coconut chocolate pie) from the wheat belly cookbook that was delicious, but coconutty, which I am trying to learn to love  The problem is that each portion of the pie is 438 calories.  I mean, come on!  That's quite a piece of pie.  There are no ingredients that are supposed to cause a glycemic spike, and no carbs that aren't nuts, but geez!  That's a lot of calories!  Tonight I decided to leave the pie to AJ and just have my regular 100 calorie fudgesicle.
I'm conflicted.  It's hard for me to believe that a 400 calorie piece of pie can really be ok to eat.  I'm pretty sure the no wheat thing is a good idea, but wondering why no one is losing any weight.  Wouldn't it be better to skip the xanthum gum and cococut flour and just eat delicious meat and vegetables?
