Awesome. You probably have more energy now that your body isn't using up so much trying to process animal protein. I seem to need some of it, myself, being Type O. But I like to include plenty of non-meat proteins, too. Meat is not my main protein a lot of the time, or it's just used to flavor a dish.

The GF stuff is great, I have been doing that for a few years, as have my sister, and some cousins. We all developed an intolerance. I get Bob's Red Mill GF baking mixes sometimes to prepare stuff, or I just use my own GF baking mix and substitute it in regular recipes, like for banana bread, etc., using Xylitol instead of sugar. People often say that the GF one tastes better than the wheat. I have to also add a little gelatin (like Knox) and some Xanthan gum to make the flour hold like wheat flour, it replaces the gluten in it. Vitacost.com carries gluten free items for less than the GF web sites, and I have also purchased some at Amazon. Quinoa, buckwheat, rice, corn, oats, millet, there are other grains to choose from when you want to be GF, which is nice.

I also do the brown rice protein powder smoothies sometimes in the morning, using rice milk and fresh, ripe fruit I have cut-up and frozen, along with multi mineral liquid, agave syrup, real vanilla, slivered almonds, and a bit of flax meal.

My latest addiction is V-8, love that stuff. I was on dialysis for 8 years and not allowed to have hardly any whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, beans, etc. It was really awful, so I'm definitely enjoying them all a lot now that I'm able to eat them after a transplant. Still have to be careful a bit, tho, due to the meds. The only thing I cannot have now is grapefruit, but I ate a lot of them before since I knew I'd miss them.

It's great that you are feeling so much energy. I have found in the past that merely cutting out a lot of simple carbs, and all sugars, gave me a truly noticeable boost in my energy throughout the day.

Do you do organic, too? I hear that it tastes better, but I don't necessarily pay enough attention to that. I should, though, considering how I'm trying to find a way away from GMO products.
