By Faryn Clark


Is it your first time to hear about "gluten-free diet"? It may come to a surprise that this diet plan has long been with us for years. Nevertheless, it has now gained popularity as people have seen and enjoyed great results from it, especially in helping people losing weight.

What do we mean by gluten-free diet?

Simply put, a diet that does not involve any food having protein gluten. Any food that may contain such substance is prohibited like barley, rye and bread. Originally, this diet plan is designed for people who suffer from celiac disease.

Unlike what most people think, gluten-free diet is never hard to follow. We have already eaten a lot of gluten-free foods in our diet. The only thing is that we are not aware that those foods are gluten-free. Manufacturers are even aware of the popularity that this diet plan has reached, which is why they have started to produce gluten-free alternatives such as breads and pasta.

So, the following are some of the foods that naturally contain no gluten. You may take them regularly depending on what your physicians have told you.

1. Fresh meat and fish

2. Dairy products

3. Egg

4. Vegetables and fruits

5. Green vegetables and fruits

However, it is highly recommended that when choosing over the above foods, one must still check the label to get rid of any gluten mixture or content. In this way, you will be at ease of taking them even if you have celiac.

Take note of the following foods because they are naturally rich in protein gluten:

- Barley

- Triticale

- Rye

- Triticale

These products may contain healthy vitamins and minerals but, you have to avoid them. To supply what vitamins you may lack for not eating the above gluten containing foods, you may take supplements.

What alternatives do I have?

Many gluten-free alternatives are now available in the market but, they are not totally safe, especially when you are not fond of checking the label. Opt for the following alternatives to make your diet plan safe and effective:

* Cake

* Beer

* Sauce

* Bread

* Salad dressings

* Pastas (which are served in some food chains)

* Sauce

* Seafood (imitated)

* Soup base

* Restaurant pasta

Safe and effective to help people suffering from celiac disease; gluten-free diet continues to be famous to people who want to lose weight. This diet plan is quite more achievable than some of the modern diet programs that deprive people from their usual diet. Gluten-free means that we take the normal daily diet that we have without gluten mixture on it. It is just replacing your old favorites with new yet delicious foods that are safe and effective in providing the needed nutrition.
