But if you don’t suffer from a wheat allergy or from Celiac disease, you may wonder if there’s really any benefit to going wheat-free. After all, wheat and wheat-based products are so ingrained (pun intended) in the American diet that we often wonder if we really can give it up altogether. Going wheat-free requires some work on your part—but that’s a good thing. If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you know that becoming educated about the food you eat is something I am passionate about. So if going wheat-free makes you stop and read your food labels, then you know I am all for it. But there are other, more tangible benefits to following a wheat-free diet plan. I’m going to list the top 5 reasons you should switch to a wheat-free diet below. 1. You May Have Wheat Intolerance--But You Don't Know It Studies show that Celiac disease is actually underdiagnosed in the United States. Some estimate that only 1 in 3000 people are diagnosed, when in reality, 1 in 250 suffer from the disease. So it may be worth your while to go off wheat for a period of time and see how you feel. Does your digestion improve? Do you have more energy? If so, you may have wheat intolerance. A simple blood test can show the presence of antibodies in your bloodstream, and an intestinal biopsy can confirm Celiac disease. But simply eliminating wheat from your diet, and then seeing how you feel, is an easy self-test you can try on your own. 2. You May Feel Allergy Relief If you suffer from many allergies, eliminating wheat from your diet can help ease your symptoms. If you have dry, itchy skin, or suffer from hives, then eliminating wheat can have a profoundly positive effect on how you feel. 3. You May Experience Digestive Relief If you experience gas, bloating, and water retention, eliminating wheat from your eating plan can really help improve your digestion. Although we think that wheat is easy to digest, it’s actually quite hard on your intestines, and can cause sluggish digestion and even blockages. A wheat-free diet is much easier on your intestines than a diet that relies on wheat products. 4. A Wheat-Free Diet Can Help Keep Weight Gain at Bay If you want to really jump start your weight loss, try keeping wheat out of your eating plan for a couple of weeks. You may be surprised at the result. Many of the refined carbs we eat without thinking (cookies, crackers, breads, pastas, and the like) are made with wheat. By eliminating wheat from your diet, you eliminate these products by default from your eating program, which can help you achieve your weight loss goals. 5. Your Joints Will Thank You Studies show that gluten is often an instigator for joint pain in the body, as it weakens our bodies’ natural defenses. If you suffer from joint pain or have a family history of arthritis, you can keep your joints feeling better—and thus stay more active—by eliminating gluten products from your eating program. When eliminating wheat from your diet, be sure to read the labels of every food product you eat. Even seemingly innocent foods, like soy sauce, contain wheat. So if you are truly going gluten-free, you will need to make sure you read about everything you eat, before you consume it.

5 Gluten Free Questions You Need Answered

by Dr. Peter Osborne Author: <a href="http://healthhut.glutefree.hop.clickbank.net/?page=freereport">"The Truth about Gluten"</a> It’s not your fault.  See, most 'experts' don’t know the difference between traditional gluten free and TRUE gluten free. Years of clinical trial and error have put me in a position to help put you on the fast track to restoring your health. Following my protocols will help put you on a path to: <blockquote>--Better energy --Enhanced weight loss --Improved digestion --No more chronic gas and bloating --Reduced muscle and joint pain --Hormone rebalancing --And so much more...</blockquote>Being a doctor is so much more rewarding when you can give people the knowledge to restore their health instead of making them dependent on medical treatments. Here are real answers to 5 gluten free questions: Question: Is a gluten free diet difficult to follow? Answer: Not at all. In fact you have many choices when it comes to living gluten free. The “problem” for most people these days is that they don’t know which foods to eat and which to avoid. My Gluten Free Diet Solution Program makes it easy for you to live gluten free, make better choices and regain your health. Question: I’ve tried losing the last 10 pounds from around my waistline and just can’t seem to lose the fat no matter what diet or workout program I try. Can going gluten free really help? Answer: Yes, as a matter of fact many of my patients have easily dropped the stubborn last five to fifteen pounds once they adopted a gluten free diet. The reason for this is because of the bloating effect and glycogen to fat conversion process that takes place in people who are sensitive to gluten. Question: Once I start the Gluten Free Diet Solution program how long will it take for me to see and feel the results? Answer: Results come relatively fast…Typically within the first 72 hours most people experience a two to three pound weight loss due to reduction of bloating. Within a week to ten days you’ll begin to feel better, have more energy and continue to lose the unwanted fat and bloat until you achieve your ideal healthy weight. Question: Will I have to do a lot of cooking and food preparation at home for a gluten free diet? Answer: Actually you won’t do any more cooking or food prep then you do today. One of the biggest misconceptions is that gluten free living means diet restriction and lots of food preparation time. The truth is you’re simply going to be a better decision maker, shopper and eater. Question: Can older adults benefit from a gluten free diet? Answer: Yes indeed. In fact one big benefit that older adults will appreciate is improved digestion, reduced joint pain and irritation and more energy.

The Great “Fat is Bad” Myth Debunked

by Dr. Peter Osborne Author: <a href="http://healthhut.glutefree.hop.clickbank.net/?page=freereport">"The Truth about Gluten."</a> Fat is Good Eating fatty foods does not make one unhealthy or obese.  Depriving your body of fat can have serious detrimental effects to its function.  Your brain, your nervous system, your hormones, and the cell walls of your body are made from healthy fats.  Therefore, for your body to function at its optimal level, you need to replenish your body with a good source of FAT in your diet.  Key word  – GOOD! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4yn9h4Wu5A7qdL4deEgl1FTVQNl803o73kIDDltimkK060Bna8V-XCjWtSblCgQgbIUEhyk7029vXAgFE77Dfz_xuz5kvefgYSJtdtSV7Sv-ydDy7S6ydqpM0FrawSOLb7o3aUKwHbE3J/s1600/gluten+obese-man.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4yn9h4Wu5A7qdL4deEgl1FTVQNl803o73kIDDltimkK060Bna8V-XCjWtSblCgQgbIUEhyk7029vXAgFE77Dfz_xuz5kvefgYSJtdtSV7Sv-ydDy7S6ydqpM0FrawSOLb7o3aUKwHbE3J/s1600/gluten+obese-man.png" /></a></div> Over the last 20 years, the “low-fat” “no fat”  products have been promoted heavily by commercials and doctors alike as heart healthy choices.  These products have taken over the shelves at the grocery store.  From milk and yogurt to candy (yes that’s right, candy) people have been  manipulated  into thinking that if it’s “low fat or no fat” this will help lower their cholesterol, reduce their risk of heart disease, and help them lose weight.  In fact, the opposite is true.  Recent research from the journal Behavioral Neuroscience found that fat substitutes can interfere with the body’s ability to regulate food intake which leads to inefficient use of calories and weight gain. Get your FREE download, <a href="http://healthhut.glutefree.hop.clickbank.net/?page=freereport">"The Truth about Gluten."</a> <h2>Fat is an Essential Nutrient </h2>What most people don’t know, including many doctors, is that <a href="http://towncenterwellness.com/learning-center/vitamins-and-mineral-info/vitamin-a/">Vitamin A</a>, <a href="http://towncenterwellness.com/learning-center/vitamins-and-mineral-info/vitamin-d-cholecalciferol-d3/" title="vitamin d">Vitamin D</a>, <a href="http://towncenterwellness.com/learning-center/vitamins-and-mineral-info/vitamin-k/" title="vitamin k">Vitamin K</a>, and <a href="http://towncenterwellness.com/learning-center/vitamins-and-mineral-info/vitamin-e/" title="vitamin E">Vitamin E</a> are fats.   Eating low fat reduces the intake of these important essential nutrients.  Additionally, the omega 3 fats are essential to the human body and can only be found in healthy fat containing foods.  What does that mean?  Without these fats, your body cannot sustain normal function. <h2>Fat Does Not Cause Heart Disease </h2>The medical community has falsely placed blame on fats and lipids as a cause of heart disease.  What they don’t tell you is that the only type of fat that contributes to heart disease is man made chemical fats – These are known as Hydrogenated Fats. These lipids are commonly referred to as saturated fats.  It should be know however, that not all saturated fats are hydrogenated, and not all saturated fats are bad for you.  Only the man made ones.   Hydrogenated fats are not found in nature.  They are made by chemically forcing a hydrogen molecule into vegetable oils using a toxic metal catalyst.  These types of fats are commonly used as a preservative.  Common products with hydrogenated oils are: <ul><li>Peanut butter</li><li>Crackers</li><li>Margarine and other butter substitutes</li><li>Cake icing</li><li>Chewy candies (Starburst, Skittles)</li><li>Processed baked goods (cakes, cookies, etc)</li></ul>Hydrogenated fats are known to increase obesity, heart disease, cancer, and other chronic inflammatory conditions.  So we can safely say that the “skinny” on this chemically created fake food is that it will make you fat and sick.  To the contrary, diets rich in natural omega 3 fats are known to reduce inflammation, pain, reduce the risk of heart disease, lower LDL cholesterol, raise HDL cholesterol, and reduce triglycerides. <h2>Eating Low Fat is Not Healthy </h2>Not only does eating a “low-fat” diet deprive your body of essential nutrients (listed above), but it doesn’t lead to the weight loss you want.  In 2009, a study showed 645 obese patients who used a low-fat diet had NO CHANGE in waist circumference. Don’t get drawn into the trap that man-made and man-altered products are better and healthier for your body than the food that God has provided.   Take a lesson from the past – Margarine, olestra (this one causes anal leakage), saccharin, aspartame, and sugared up cereals were (and in some cases still are) promoted as healthy and safe alternative foods, yet the scientific and social evidence would say otherwise. <h2>Good Sources of Healthy Fats </h2><ul><li>Avocado</li><li>Nuts (almonds, macadamia, walnuts, pecans)</li><li><a href="http://towncenterwellness.com/products/salmon/">Cold water fish</a></li><li><a href="http://towncenterwellness.com/products/beef/" title="Grass fed meats">Grass fed beef or bison</a></li><li>Coconut</li></ul><h2>Common Sense Must Win in the End</h2>If you need to lose weight and restore your health, you have to follow these simple principles: <ul><li>Exercises regularly (walking is not exercise)</li><li>Don’t lead a <a href="http://towncenterwellness.com/learning-center/stretching-and-strengthening-exercises/">sedentary lifestyle</a></li><li>Eat Real Food!</li></ul>If you doubt that low fat diets work, all you have to do is look around you.  We are surrounded by people who buy and consume low fat, no fat, and reduced Calorie products on a regular basis.  If these foods work, why is America so obese?
