The SashaHealthy Take on Gluten-Free

Gluten-free does not automatically mean healthier or lower calorie.

For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it is essential.
For others, it’s optional.

If you choose gluten-free for weight loss, focus on:

• naturally gluten-free whole foods

• protein

• fiber

• portion awareness

Replacing bread with gluten-free bread and cookies with gluten-free cookies rarely changes much.

Structure does.
