No Weight Gain Cookbooks

[daphniela]

Has anyone bought any of the No Weight Gain cookbooks? If so, how are the recipes? I am thinking of trying them out. I became overweight before I knew I had Celiac. Does gluten intolene cause you to become overweight? I have gained a lot in recent years. I was only diagnosed a few months ago.

I do not think gluten can cause overweigtness but it can cause bloating. I try to limit my calories, exercise, and do substations in recipes. Using some butter and the rest apple sauce while baking is a good way and eating more vegetables is, too. I also love making fries but use an oven and no oil.

As far as I am concerned no, it is not a direct cause for obesity. Like mentioned above, it does cause bloating etc and malabsorption of other nutrients. Although I can see how it can make you gain weight. I often find myself crazily craving for gluten products one because I used to love them and eat them on regular basis before symptoms became too severe to ignore, two because knowing I can not eat them any more depressed me a little and led to consuming them. Or I found substitutes like sweets, as most refined sugar products or often dark chocolates, are gluten free.. but since they are not as brilliant as the glutens.. I would consume a high amount of them -..- How annoying. I am recovering but finding it lame. If only I have super digestive system. I wish I am PROBLEM FREE!!!
