A Gluten-Free Diet Need Not Be Dull Or Boring

By Mary And Vlady


If you have been recently diagnosed with celiac disease, there is no reason to sit and pout or feel badly about it. You now have the chance to feel better and make some major life changes with a gluten-free diet. Here are some tips to help you have a better life, lose weight, and enjoy your meals a little bit more.

Better crusts for your pies - Just because your crusts have to be gluten-free (GF) doesn't mean they can't taste good or have a nice texture and consistency. If you want to avoid hard crusts, be sparing with the water, so use as little as you can. However, even the best efforts may end up with tears or cracks, but many of them can be smoothed out with a finger.

Store bread - If you want GF bread you need to only look as far as your local grocery store. You'll find some very good bread products just sitting on the shelf. Yet, these loaves will not be like the soft bread you used to make sandwiches with. However, if you leave your bread in the freezer and only remove what you need, it may turn out fine. Also, try toasting to avoid tearing or crumbling.

Home baked bread - To get bread that fills all your needs, you may need to do it yourself. It is not as hard as you may think if you use the right materials like GF flour and xanthum gum. This gum can make all the difference in the world when it comes to making breads. Also, you may make some mistakes in the beginning, but don't throw them away. They might make good bird stuffing material or filler for your meatloaf.

Lactose and gluten - Many people with celiac disorder also have problems digesting dairy products with lactose. In fact, you might think that your GF diet is failing when it really is a lactose problem getting in the way. If you think you might be lactose intolerant try making substitutions. For buttermilk, try yogurt and check out lactose-free milk in the grocery store.

Eat more fresh vegetables - Fresh vegetables do not contain grain proteins that you are allergic to. Why not have a large fresh salad every day? This is a great weight management strategy. Salads are very filling and provide many important nutrients you need. Just make sure and check the salad dressing and croutons closely. In fact, you may be better off making your own.

Cook with others - Changing your lifestyle can be a lonely and frustrating experience when you go it alone. That is why you should consider involving others in your cooking and meal preparation efforts. When you share the experience it makes it more fun, entertaining, and meaningful. Plus, you may learn some new things.

Try Herbalife - There are some excellent products available that are made for people with food allergies. For instance, Herbalife Formula 1 is a great tasting shake that is free of gluten, soy, and dairy products. Plus, it is made for people that are watching their weight, so you can enjoy all the good things of GF living without any guilt.
