[quote=hviola;2264195]I went on a gluten-free diet because I am sensitive to the gluten in wheat products like bread/cereal/noodles. I lost 16 lbs in 3 months not even trying. My doctor says its a healthier diet anyways. Gluten can keep you bloated and make IBS worse. I have heard from other people that it can also help you lose weight. Just replace wheat products with rice/corn/potato products.
I weigh now what I did before I had my son. But, my measurements are smaller. I took out my old clothes and they were loose on me even though I weigh the same I did back then. I thought that was pretty cool.
Just make sure you don't do a crash diet like the cabbage thing. That will ravage your digestive system (diarreah, gas) and make you lose nutrients that you need to stay healthy. It just makes you lose a bunch of water, even some you need. Then as soon as you have one lick of sodium, the water returns quickly.
Be patient with yourself. Eating healthier is more important that eating less.[/quote]
