Not all Gluten-Free Products are created equal!!

By now, most of you heard that going gluten-free is a good thing especially if you are gluten intolerant. It is a protein in wheat, rye, barley etc. that can be hard to digest and cause weight gain especially in the midsection.

That being said, staying mostly gluten-free is a great thing, but most people just see a gluten-free product and automatically assume it's better than the regular gluten products. This is not neccessarily true!!

Some people who go off gluten to lose weight end up gaining weight instead. That's because they consume gluten-free packaged products that are often just as high in saturated fat, sugar and sodium as other junk food, and these products often contain high-glycemic refined ingredients like white rice flour or fillers like potato starch that can affect your blood sugar and trigger cravings!

Solution:

Go for gluten-free products that contain quality ingredients such as Buckwheat, Amaranth, Quinoa, Millet, Chia Seed or Gram Flour (derived from chic peas)
