To Anonymous. I've always been one to watch my nutritional intake, and my portion sizes and still over the course of the last ten years gained thirty pounds. I can't relate how many times my friends would get on my case about eating more during meals. Still, I was over weight. In April '09 I started a low carb diet as an experiment and since then have lost 16 pounds and KEPT it OFF!
Not long after starting this diet, I also recognized that certain intestinal issues began to subside. I suspected either gluten intolerance or a wheat allergy might be to blame, so decided to cut wheat from my diet. The end result was years of intestinal problems completely subsiding. After doing some online research, I learned that one symptom of untreated gluten intolerance can be weight gain.
Trust me when I say cutting out wheat from my diet has been no picnic. I adore pasta, breads, and pizza, but they don't like me.
Furthermore, one person's diet does not necessarily work for another. I worked for a vegetarian who was overweight. Clearly cutting meat from her diet was not doing the trick.
