:rolleyes: Hi Everyone: I have only been gluten free for about 6 months. I have been reading the labels on everything now, but I have noticed that the calorie content on the gluten free items is very high. I try not to eat too much of the prepacked items. I am wondering, those of you that have been gluten free for any length of time, have you had trouble maintaining your weight? As any woman, I don't want any added weight.....LOL! So far I have been fine, but I want to stay that way.

Thanks for the replies,

Regards,

Jayne

Hell yeah! I'd be a second goodyear blimp by now if I ate that stuff. I avoid starches and sugars and focus on meat, veggies, fruit, nuts if I can afford the calories, and a few sugar-free treats I make myself.

Yep, I second that...just far too much fat and sugar in the packaged gluten-free stuff. Even the pasta has more calories than the regular stuff! :angry:

An educated guess to why our prepackaged stuff is higher calorie is because it's generally much higher fat, which masks the taste of gluten-free ingredients. :lol:

Limit packaged goodies - the gluten-free versions aren't any better for you health-wise than the regular versions are for regular people. Eat clean - whole foods, less sugar, etc. and save packaged treats for treats.

I can eat as much as i want because when i eat carbs i do not eat any protein in the same day and i start out with fruit. If i eat protein, i don't eat any carbs.

I'm confused. Why exactly would that make food healthier?

lol. it doesn't make it healthier, it makes it where calories don't count :)!!!! I love splurging on as much gluten free cookies that i want. It's nice to eat things that we normally can't gluten free and not worry about gaining weight.....it is the beverly hills diet and i recommend the first book..it is amazing, at least following the rules. In fact the rules are listed below for your convienence, so you can eat as much as you want without gaining weight!!!

Remember

GOOD POINT! Can you specify some of the products you're talking about? Breads? Cereals? Or are you talking pre-packaged meals or something?

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      By trents · Posted

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.
