The 1200 calorie gluten-free diet is a low-calorie diet designed for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitive. In sedentary women this diet allows you to lose 5 kilos per month. But why did I decide to offer you a low-calorie gluten-free diet? The reason is simple. Plenty of people who have eliminated gluten are at risk of being overweight and even at risk of diabetes according to the latest studies.

DIET WITHOUT GLUTEN: WHY ARE YOU RISK OF GETTING FAT?

This is because many gluten-free products on the market are richer in fats and sugars than the traditional version, and this affects calories. For example, it is not uncommon to find gluten-free bread that reaches 350-450 calories
per 100 grams, while traditional bread ranges from 250 to 300 calories maximum.

Another problem is that many gluten-free products on the market are less protein than those with gluten. This causes them to satiate even less, and increase the glycemic load of meals.
