Read About The Latest Trends In Gluten-Free Food For 2013

By Faryn Clark


Almost everyone has heard about "gluten-free" and, we often see some of the labels telling that the product contains no gluten. Gluten-free diet has long been in our midst, but it just recently gained its popularity to the masses because of its tremendous health benefits.

What do you know about gluten-free diet?

Simply put, a diet that does not involve any food having protein gluten. Any food that may contain such substance is prohibited like barley, rye and bread. Originally, this diet plan is designed for people who suffer from celiac disease.

Unlike what most people think, gluten-free diet is never hard to follow. We have already eaten a lot of gluten-free foods in our diet. The only thing is that we are not aware that those foods are gluten-free. Manufacturers are even aware of the popularity that this diet plan has reached, which is why they have started to produce gluten-free alternatives such as breads and pasta.

Below are some of the foods that (naturally) do not contain any gluten. You may ask your nutritionist about these foods to know when to eat them.

1. Fresh meat and fish

2. Dairy products

3. Egg

4. Vegetables and fruits

5. Beans, seeds and nuts

However, it is highly recommended that when choosing over the above foods, one must still check the label to get rid of any gluten mixture or content. In this way, you will be at ease of taking them even if you have celiac.

Take note of the following foods because they are naturally rich in protein gluten:

- Barley

- Barley

- Wheat

- Wheat

Although they are rich in some vitamins and minerals, still you have to get rid of them. Remove them from your diet and take supplements to fill up any vitamins and minerals that you (may) lack.

What alternatives do I have?

Many gluten-free alternatives are now available in the market but, they are not totally safe, especially when you are not fond of checking the label. Opt for the following alternatives to make your diet plan safe and effective:

* Cereal

* Beer

* Breads

* Beer (from stores)

* French Fries (from food chains or restaurants)

* Dressings on salad

* Sauce

* Cereals

* Soup base

* Restaurant pasta

Safe and effective to help people suffering from celiac disease; gluten-free diet continues to be famous to people who want to lose weight. This diet plan is quite more achievable than some of the modern diet programs that deprive people from their usual diet. Gluten-free means that we take the normal daily diet that we have without gluten mixture on it. It is just replacing your old favorites with new yet delicious foods that are safe and effective in providing the needed nutrition.
