[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]since you aren't convinced 100% gluten free is the way you want to go and your driving force is weight loss, have you considered doing something between doing what you were before and giving up 100%?
if you were eating processed, bleached, white flours before, switch to 100% whole grain. some meals find a gf alternative and others enjoy the whole wheat option. 
cut back without cutting out. it might be a more realistic option to maintain and still help with weight loss.[/quote]

I had already been eating whole wheat for years before I went GF.

Results speak.  After giving up wheat, my belly that always looked about 4 months pregnant deflated. Additionally, my seasonal allergies have completely vanished. I used to be miserable 6 months out of the year.

I really see no health benefit to eating GMO processed wheat products. I eat a ton of other grains, such as quinoa, buckwheat, brown rice and then of course lots of legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, and black beans.

A lot of cultures don't eat wheat at all. [b]If you have ever shopped in an Asian grocery, you are hard pressed to even find wheat products. [/quote][/b]

As someone with Celiac disease this is untrue. Asian grocery stores have tons of products with wheat/gluten, like soy sauce and the other sauces have barley!  [/quote]

I buy mainly rice products, dried legumes, seaweed, fermented soy, nuts, and spices. Never ventured into the sauces, other than fish sauce and a few different chili pastes. However I do not have celiac, just an intolerance, so stuff like soy sauce does not bother me.[/quote]
