According to the website of Today, the latest celebrity trend when it comes to the topic of dieting are gluten-free foods. It is now becoming famous since a lot of Hollywood celebrities are becoming more and more into it like Gwyneth Paltrow, Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus who are just among the high profile names engaging to this new method of dieting.
Nutrition expert Joy Bauer however, gave out some warning for anyone who would get into this to shred some pounds. She said that, "Unless gluten-containing foods are replaced with whole grains like quinoa or fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy, people shouldn't expect to lose weight."
Before you dive into this diet form, you must know that if you're eating the gluten-free junk food and not the legit ones, you are actually at risk of gaining even more weight. Now that this is a trend, a lot of Americans have actually been into gluten-free foods even when almost 6% of them are actually sensitive to gluten. The sales of gluten-free products are now being predicted to go high above $2 billion in just a couple of years.
But despite of these reports, Dr. Natalie Azar of NBC News said that, "Advocates of gluten-free claim it can ease digestive problems, help with fatigue, headaches and even infertility, but unless you have an intolerance, wheat and grain are part of a healthy and balanced diet."
The bottom line here is that if you're going to be on this kind of diet, make sure that you buy the real deal. There are lots of stores and programs claiming they are gluten-free when they are really not. Just make sure that they are trustworthy and that they have already clients who have been getting real food from them. It is important that you check the source of your gluten-free food all the time.
