loosing weight/gluten free

I have lost weight (13 pounds), but I have also changed up the way I do g-f now. When baking, I try to incorporate higher fiber flours that have lower GI's. For example rice flour is just as bad as white flour when you look at it on the GI scale. But almond and coconut flour are so much better...higher in protein and fiber and lower GI. I have also gone from being a vegetarian (of 18 years) to eating meat again. I eat protein at every meal. I use less sugar, more honey and stevia. I have lost weight, and not because I am trying particularly. I think it is because eating higher fiber and more protein keeps me satiated longer. What matters is that I feel better. So, I plan to just eating the foods that work for me and not call it a "Paleo diet" or "G-F diet"...it is just the way I eat.0

Le sigh. To be one of those people who gives up soda and loses a ton of weight.

I gained about 25lbs in the 3 years since I went gluten free. I think a lot of it is due to the fact that before I found out I had celiac I would eat huge portions because I just wasn't absorbing it and I was constantly hungry. Once I stopped eating gluten I started absorbing the calories but still had the habits of eating large portions. I don't eat a lot of pasta or bread or gluten free substitutes but I definitely have an odd relationship with food - I think about it constantly because I have to plan so carefully to make sure I have food that I can eat. Also, gluten free snack foods aren't exactly healthy. But you can do it!0

You may be allergic to something else. It is very common for a GF person to have more than one food intolerance.
This for sure... I did an allergen elimination diet with a nutritionist. For 30 days, I did not have gluten, dairy, corn, soy, eggs, or nightshades. I'm not done testing, but I am totally intolerant to eggs so far.0
