Ediets Wheat Free Plan

[Guest ShannonL]

Anyone try this? I thought it would be a good base to start...any input?

I noticed that at one point too. I emailed them asking if the diet was easily adaptable to being gluten-free. The response I got was that it wasn't a gluten-free diet and that it wasn't designed to be gluten-free.

I would think that once you get to the point where you're comfortable with the gluten-free diet, and adapting things, you could pretty much adapt anything to be gluten-free.

But, if you're just getting started on the gluten-free diet, I wouldn't think that it would be a good place to start. You may end up eating things that aren't safe, not being aware that there may be hidden gluten.

If you're just getting started on the gluten-free diet and are wanting to lose weight, you may want to just not worry about the weight for a while. Your body may readjust itself. I ended up losing 30 pounds over the course of about a year. No other effort except the gluten-free diet. It just fell off. It was about 3-4 months after I started eating gluten-free that I noticed that the weight loss I had started experiencing was staying gone. I wasn't fluctuating.

With the gluten-free diet, weight can go up, down, or stay the same, so I'm not saying that you WILL lose weight. Just that it's a possibility.

And doing the gluten-free diet has enough rules to get used to without adding more rules on top of it.

If you do decide to sign up for the ediets wheatfree program, let us know more about it. I'm really curious about it too. It may be pretty easy to adapt.

Thanks. I know you are right. There is so much to learn! I am feeling overwhelmed. I just cant stand my weight any longer. I have gained so much in the past couple of years. BUT even more disturbing is that I have a 12 month old and I weigh 20 pounds more than I did at my 8 week postpartum checkup!!! I cant figure my darn body out. I also have PCOS which causes weight gain. I just want to ensure that I wont be embarressed in my own pool this summer like last.

I think I am going to give it a shot. I will let you know.

with PCOS, as I understand it, you need to be careful with your carbohydrate intake, because the PCOS makes you insulin resistant and affects your blood sugar. a diet much more like what a hypoglycemic or even a diabetic eats (though calorie controlled for weight loss) in proportions of fat/protein/fiber/carbohydrates would be more beneficial (and might help with some of the symptoms).
