Learn 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.

Did you say gluten-free diet?

By the term itself, a diet that restricts any food that contains the protein gluten. Some foods that are not allowed include rye and bread. This diet (though enjoyed by many to help them lose weight) was originally formulated to help people with celiac disease.

Gluten-free diet is not what you think it is. As a matter of fact, you are already eating (unaware) gluten-free products almost every day such as eggs, nuts and vegetables. With this diet plan getting famous, food manufacturers' supplies for gluten-free alternatives and products have significantly increased. They are driven to address the increasing demand of alternatives such as pasta and bread.

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. Meat (which may include chicken and pork and labeled gluten free) and fish

3. Fruits and vegetables

4. Eggs

5. Beans, seeds and nuts

These products are helpful in starting out this diet program but, you still need to double check them for any possible contamination or gluten mixture. Check the label or ask the store owner about the manufacturer of the product.

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

- Wheat

- Rye

- Triticale

- Wheat

These products or foods are rich in vitamins and minerals but you must remove them from your daily diet otherwise; your celiac will not be cured (if you have any). Take supplements containing the vitamins and minerals that the above products have.

What alternatives do I have?

10 of the most common Gluten-free food alternatives have widely gained popularity in the market but, may be great risks to your diet plan, especially when you are suffering from celiac disease. It is best that you avoid them. They include:

* Cereal

* Cakes

* Breads

* Beer (from stores)

* Salad dressings

* Dressings on salad

* Soup base

* Imitated seafood

* French fries (commercial)

* Sauces

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.
