7 Diet Myths That Have Been Misleading You For Years

"A Gluten-Free Diet Is The Way To Go"

Gluten-free diets became all the rage a few years ago when celebrities started following and endorsing them, and they continue to remain popular across North America. Although cutting out traditional cakes, cookies, bread, and pasta will help shed pounds, substituting them for their gluten-free versions can pack them back on. Gluten-free bread, cookies, and pasta are typically full of additives and a long list of synthetic ingredients. For this reason, a healthy gluten-free diet involves eating foods that are naturally free of gluten, such as fruits and vegetables. Except in the cases of a gluten-related medical condition, eating these foods along with a moderate amount of traditional carbohydrates is usually sufficient for achieving weight-loss goals.
