Gluten Sensitivity-The Reason Behind That Stubborn Belly Fat?
I had been having some little health issues and so I thought i would try removing gluten from my diet regime to see if it would help me feel better. Well, not only did I feel better but my degree of energy increased and my pants got looser – totally out of the blue.
First of all, just what is gluten?
Without offering up a lengthy, unexciting explanation of what gluten is, gluten is quite simply,
“…a blend of plant proteins found in cereal grains, such as wheat, rye, barley..it is also used as an adhesive in making seasonings, especially monosodium glutamate (MSG).”
-The American Heritage Science Dictionary
Oddly enough, gluten is found in many foods like salad dressings and also soy sauce! It is no wonder several persons tend to be growing a sensitivity to the stuff, it really is in everything! (I do want to bring up that gluten sensitivity isn’t to be confused with gluten intolerance – a totally different matter entirely. These folks become really ill if they eat even the tiniest touch of gluten. This would not be us
Alright, so back to what I discovered…
I was indeed still ingesting carbs, so this was not just a “cut out all breads and pastas” low-carb kind of matter. I continued to consume those things, however in gluten-free form.
I’d say that I lost mainly inches/body fat, not really pounds, because I only lost about Two pounds….however my clothes ended up fitting better. I wasn’t wanting to shed weight at the moment, nonetheless I thought, “Hey, this may end up being good for an individual attempting to lose weight or just just persistent belly fat.”
And so, I personally passed this idea on to a close friend of mine, who coincidentally had just been recently complaining about her stubborn abdominal fat. She experimented with it and in just a week, saw a big difference in the way her clothing was fitting, and a distinct reduction in stomach size. I think in the end, she dropped almost 2 clothing sizes, without doing exercise. Not too shabby I’d say!
Thus, needless to say, I knew I was onto something.
The Plan
It is actually really very uncomplicated to do, don’t worry about it. Just drastically reduce or even eliminate fully all gluten from your diet regime. Replace those things with gluten free variations. There it is. No ridiculous constraints, or craving for food, or cravings to manage. Try it, you might end up being happily surprised. The truly awesome factor is that workouts would only make the results even better.
