Focus on Whole Foods
A gluten-free diet can lead to weight loss, but only when it focuses on whole, unprocessed foods like vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins.
Avoid Gluten-Free Junk Food
Many gluten-free alternatives to bread and snacks are just as high in calories and sugar as their gluten-containing counterparts. Stick to nutrient-dense foods for weight loss.
Consult a Dietitian
For those without celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, a gluten-free diet is not inherently healthier, and expert guidance is advised.
