Gluten-free, low carb, low-fat diet?

I've heard that Elizabeth hasselbeck's book has some inaccuracies in it - like she says celiac is an allergy, when it's actually an auto-immune disease. If a celiac eats gluten, the body attacks itself.

Start your gluten free diet by just going back to basics: old fashioned meat and 3 veg is easy, and so long as you thicken any sauce or gravy with gluten free flour, such as cornstarch or rice flour, that's the easiest way to go. After a while, when you get used to eating gluten free and finding substitutes, you can branch out to more difficult stuff.

There's some evidence that gluten intolerance (if ignored) can lead to weight problems, so you may even find you lose weight on the diet. This is why there are so many people who mistakenly believe it's a weight loss diet - it isn't, though some people lose on it, others gain. As you seem to have worked out, it's not so much what you don't eat, as what you eat that makes the difference.

There's no need to go for high fat food just because you've cut gluten. In fact, most high gluten foods, like pasta, pizza, pies and pastries, contain high levels of fat which is masked by the carbs associated with gluten (since it's mainly found in wheat, which is what we make most of our flour from). So it's actually quite likely that by cutting out gluten, you will automatically reduce your fat intake - though as you no doubt know, there are many essential nutrients that cannot be obtained without including a certain amount of fat in the diet.

Concentrate on being gluten free at first, as this is no piece of cake. After you are happy with it, then is the time to consider issues relating to weight loss.

To lose weight, a low fat diet is better than a low carb diet, because fat has the most calories - three times as many ounce for ounce. As well, low carb diets only work for around 6 months max, after which other diets perform as well or better. But to be perfectly honest, if you're not raising your metabolic rate by regular exercise, no diet is going to work. Your body reacts to a low calorie intake by lowering your metabolic rate, so you have to eat less and less. It makes no sense. If you raise your metabolic rate by exercising at least every 72 hours, while continuing to eat healthy food, you will find the weight starts to drop off.

I use the two George Stella cookbooks for recipes and motivation to keep my weight down. They are not listed or marketed as gluten free but 99% of his recipes are gluten free. You just have to read them to see if they have flour or something in them. They are usually easy, super tasty and he has a story for each of them. Look online under http://www.stellastyle.com/

I bought all sorts of gluten free cookbooks when I started out but these two are the ones I go back to time and again.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last couple years, I'm sure you've heard of the Paleo Diet. Read here https://tr.im/VXXZC

I hate to even call it a diet, because it's really just the real way that humans have eaten for almost 1.9 Million years, as opposed to the modern-day processed food diet full of grains, sugars, and processed vegetable oils.

Replace chips with salad to cut carbs
