 So I went gluten free for the heck of it.  After a year gluten free, I had lost 5 pounds, though we eat VERY well (live in Ithaca where sources of gluten free are easy, and we cook a lot) and I had stopped exercising.
For 10 years I had tried desperately to lose weight because I was heading to type 2 diabetic, BP,etc. (age 60). Nothing worked.
3 years into gluten free I am down from size 16 to size 8 with NO DIET.

While it would obviously not work for everyone, my educated guess is that gluten is a player in obesity for  20% of people who are otherwise eating sensibly.<br/><br/>
