Some experts believe that shunning foods with gluten<\/a>—a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley<\/a>—helps with weight loss. And celebs like Gwyneth Paltrow and Oprah have reportedly gone on gluten-free detox diets for just that reason. <\/p>\n

But does going gluten-free really work? We asked Dee Sandquist, MS, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. Her take:<\/p>\n

You might lose a few pounds by cutting out high-gluten baked goods that contain lots of fat …<\/p>\n

\n
But<\/strong> any weight loss is probably because youre reducing your overall calorie-and-fat intake<\/a>—not because you‘re cutting out gluten. What‘s more, theres currently no science that indicates youll lose weight by replacing a gluten-filled food with a nongluten food that has the same number of calories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You may eat more filling whole grains that dont have gluten, such as corn, rice, amaranth, and buckwheat …<\/p>\n
\n
But<\/strong> some of those non-gluten whole grains actually have less fiber<\/a> than their gluten-containing counterparts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Some people feel more energetic on a gluten-free diet …<\/p>\n
\n
But<\/strong> it may simply be because theyre cutting back on their total food intake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe bottom line:<\/strong> Going on a gluten-free diet for a few days may do no harm and may even give your diet a jump-start if it helps you limit calories. But its not a long-term weight-loss strategy<\/a>, Sandquist says. And, in spite of rosy forecasts for the gluten-free-product industry, crafting a whole meal plan around the limited number of products available would be a challenge, she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
