It seems that, every year – when January 1 rolls around – a lot of folks jump on the weight loss bandwagon.
Maybe you’ve done this yourself, vowing that this is the year you will finally lose those stubborn last pounds.
In some circles, we’re told the only sure-fire way to lose weight is to stop eating gluten
This might come as a surprise to those of us who are already gluten-free, especially if we’ve made this choice for medical reasons such as Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity.
(Often referred to as Non-Celiac Gluten-Sensitivity, or NCGS).
In other words, weight loss was likely the furthest thing from your mind when you first received a diagnosis that explained the myriad of health woes that had plagued you for years.
(There could even be one or two among you who were anxious to gain weight!)
So this whole thing about removing gluten from the diet in order to lose weight has me puzzled – in part because it has the unfortunate outcome of turning a serious medical condition – one that requires a special diet – into a fad.
Is losing weight really that simple?
