    Hi there, I'm a fellow Celiac, but I got diagnosed 2 months ago and I've been actually losing weight (it seems to be much easier for me now, since I'm not tired all the time and am feeling much better gluten free than I have for years.) I've sent you an invitation to join "Gluten Free" group - you can find all kinds of answers to dietary questions, or post some yourself! ;) You can also add me if you;re looking for new MFP friends. Best of luck on your weight loss journey, you're in the right place! :-)

    Hi.
    I was diagnosed last month so I'm just trying to adjust.

    I've noticed that the gluten-free products can be higher in calories, particularly the breads.
    I was shocked this weekend to discover that a small pizza crust was 500 calories.

    So check the labels and the portion sizes.

    Stick with lean proteins, lots of fruits and veggies.

    Good luck.
