Thank you very much for your amazing post!
People usually have no idea why they cannot burn fat or get a better shape. The point is they all the time search for a magic pill that brings them what they want immediately while all they have to do is reading useful posts like this as well as implement the exercises.

Absolutely Karen. Even if something is a “diet” in the sense of one of the other definitions, it still has to be a way of life. Otherwise it won’t work-hence the frequent loss-regain we see in people who are trying to lose fat.
Keep living the life-and thanks for stopping by!

That is exactly why the tagline of my blog is “Living and loving a mobile gluten free life.” I’m no “dieting”, I’m eating what is healthy for ME. It IS my lifestyle.

Hi Liz,
Yes-you can eat well, or you can eat junk-gluten free or no!
Sounds like you are doing well now.
Thanks for stopping by!

When I discovered I was gluten intolerant (still pending celiac diagnosis), several friends thought it was a ploy to lose weight and when they saw me eating a potato chip they said with a knowing chuckle, “you’re not gonna lose weight that way!” I tried to explain but I don’t think that particular group of people ever “got” it. But oh well. And I didn’t even use the word “diet” when speaking with them…!

And yea, you can gain weight on a GF diet — at first I lost a ton of weight b/c I had to figure it all out and then I gained some back — there is still chocolate out there and GF treats and potato chips and and and…. Like this article!

Jon,
Funny the power one little word has, isn’t it?
And yes-epitomize the life well lived-and food well eaten-with food sensitivities. There is a boatload of great food just waiting for us to eat!

awesome article erin! I’m glad that i am not the only one that feels the same way. I 100% agree with you about the context of the word “diet”. i tend to tell people that i eat gluten-free instead of saying i am on a gluten-free diet.

It is funny too. Some people think since i have different food sensitivities (and that i intermittent fast) that i don’t eat anything.

I’m bulking right now and i am eating tons of food LOL!
