I have received dozens (perhaps hundreds) of e-mails like this:

“HELPPPP I have been celiac for a couple years now and almost immediately I started to gain weight….. I have 10 extra pounds on top of about 30 that I had anyway to lose. I am so frustrated.“

As far as I know, there is no specific step-by-step program for celiacs who are endeavoring to lose weight. The basic principles are the same for celiacs and non-celiacs, but it would certainly be helpful for many of us (including myself) to have step-by-step directions. If anyone knows of such a program, please let me know so that I can publicize the information. E-mail me at gfceliac@gmail.com or leave a comment at the end of this or any article.

My Power Page “The Gluten Free Weight Loss Diet” summarizes all the information I have about losing weight while maintaining a gluten free diet. You can also get information by scrolling down to the bottom of this page (past the advertisements) and click on the red tag that says lose weight gluten free. Clicking on that tag will take you to a page giving brief excerpts from my articles on this subject. Click to read the entire article.
