You might think that a gluten-free diet will cause you to lose weight, but it’s all about what you eat instead. Research has found that many patients who follow a gluten-free diet unintentionally eat foods higher in fat, which can cause weight gain because many gluten-free products tend to contain high levels of oil such as palm or coconut. However, if you avoid these processed products and simply cut out the starchy gluten foods you used to eat entirely, with no alternatives, you may see a weight loss because of the cutback on carbs. But it is important to make sure you continue to consume healthy carbohydrates.
