How to Go Gluten Free

For more info on gluten intolerance symptoms and treatment

Today I’m going to talk about how to go gluten free. I believe it is important to go gluten free because gluten is a protein that is very difficult for most people to digest. Today, 1 out of every 133 people have celiac disease and cannot tolerate gluten at all, and 1 out of every 7 people are severely gluten intolerant and notice an outward reaction.

Symptoms of Gluten Intolerance:

-Fatigue

-Lack of energy

-Weight gain

-Bloating, indigestion

Benefits of Going Gluten Free:

-Weight loss

-Improved digestion

-Improved thyroid function

-Increased energy

-Less bloating

Tips for Going Gluten Free

1. Breakfast: Replace cereal, bread, and gluten products with a berry smoothie

Try my berry protein smoothie

2. Pure Coconut Wraps: Try a breakfast burrito or chicken salad lunch wrap with raw coconut wraps in place of wheat wraps. Coconut is full of healthy fats to promote a healthy weight.

3. Nuts and seeds: Consume flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds for a healthy breakfast.

Try my almond berry cereal

4. Gluten-Free Flours: Try using nut flours to encrust fish and meats or for baking.

-You can make your own nut flour with a blender.

-Use gluten-free, bean flours for baking.

5. Gluten-Free Bread: Try making a sandwich with gluten-free amaranth, quinoa, or millet bread.

6. Lunch: Consume a large salad with protein and nuts or try a gluten-free wrap or sandwich.

7. Snacks:

-Guacamole with vegetables

-Gluten-free crackers with hummus or salsa

Action Steps:

1. Change your breakfast. Replace grains, cereal, and bread with a berry smoothie or a coconut wrap breakfast burrito.

2. Change your lunch: Replace bread with a large vegetable or chicken salad.

3. Change your dinner: Replace pasta, white flour, and rice with a double or triple serving of vegetable, along with fish or chicken encrusted in nut flour.
