Danville, VA – The gluten free craze started when more and more Americans discovered they had an allergy to gluten and wheat products. But now, the practice has spread. People are looking to gluten free in an attempt to lose weight, but does it work? And more importantly, is it healthy?

Eating muffins, cookies, pasta and pretzels to lose weight may sound too good to be true. Anderia Dalton, the assistant manager of Next Level Nutrition in Danville, says some of the gluten-free food tastes really good, are, especially the cookies. She says the craze is cashing in.

"We get an order every two weeks and we sell out pretty well in between times. So there's definitely a need for it," said Dalton.

It's become a popular diet option, with grocery stores now offering shelves full of wheat and gluten free products. But dieters beware.

"People that should be on a gluten free diet have been diagnosed by their doctor as either having gluten intolerance or having celiac disease," said nutritionist Jennifer Dietz.

Nutritionists say going on a gluten free diet is only for those with a wheat allergy. The common misconception is that a gluten free diet is a carb free diet.

"Those calories would be the same. Those are still starches, so if you remove a starch if it's coming from wheat, you still have a starch if it's coming from rice or corn or potato. So, you're just exchanging carb for carb," said Dietz.

Nutritionally, many gluten free products are unhealthier than their conventional counter parts. One brand of gluten free pretzels for instance has more calories, fat, and sodium per serving.

Not only are there major differences in calories and fat between gluten free and conventional products, but major differences in price as well. Conventional pasta is $1.79 and gluten free is $5.59. Conventional corn flakes are $3.69 gluten free is $5.49. The same goes for snacks, conventional pretzels are $3.29 and gluten free ones are $8.39.

So if you're trying to lose weight - don't fall for the fad. Gluten free doesn't mean healthier.

"A calorie is a calorie, wherever it's coming from. If you want to lose weight, you've got to eat less than you normally eat consistently, day in and day out," said Dietz.

Nutrition experts we spoke with say they've seen a recent increase in wheat allergies. If you think you may be allergic to gluten, be sure to consult your doctor.

Gluten Free Diets Becoming an Unhealthy Trend

Diet programs tend to target women. Some marketing campaigns enlist celebrity spokeswomen who project solidarity and understanding. Others are based on books written in a cheery-chatty women's-magazine style. And some plans are built around a support system, which experts say is huge for women. "Women are more inclined to go to group meetings, while men would rather download an app that provides all the instruction they need," says David Katz, director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center.

But how about the diets themselves? U.S. News, which publishes an annual ranking of Best Diets, took a closer look at 7 plans pitched to women. They're listed below by how they rank in U.S. News's Best Weight-Loss Diets. One just might work for you. If you want additional options, check out the full range of diets. Pitching to women is more about marketing than about science or nutrition.

Weight Watchers. While the company promotes a plan for men, this points-counting program is a favorite among women. Support is the biggie. Dieters can attend weekly meetings to swap weight-loss tips and recipes with other members, and women appreciate that kind of motivation and feedback, says the company. Plus, they're likelier to have success than when they're on their own. The women's plan isn't markedly different from the men's version, though: Men typically just have more points to spend on food each day, since points are allotted based on height and weight.

[Diets for Dessert Lovers]

Jenny Craig. Prepackaged, home-delivered meals make the program easy to follow—often a selling point for working moms. And as with Weight Watchers, support is key. Dieters are paired with a Jenny consultant who provides weekly one-on-one counseling sessions. (Men who sign up for the program are matched with a consultant trained to address male dietary issues.)

Flat Belly Diet. Women will likely favor the style of the Flat Belly Diet ($15.99, Rodale, 2008), which calls for lots of "Sassy Water," infused with ginger, cucumber, and mint leaves. The featured exercise routines are designed for women, with female models demonstrating each move. (There is, however, a separate book for men that calls for "Fire Water" and outlines male-oriented exercises with male models. Men get more daily calories, too.)

[Diets That Let You Eat Out]

Nutrisystem. The heat-and-eat diet eliminates guesswork with portion-controlled, home-delivered meals. Women get about 1,250 to 1,500 daily calories, along with three 10-minute activity sessions per day. Support factors in, too: A counselor advises on how to get back in the kitchen without sabotaging weight loss. (Nutrisystem's women's and men's plans are virtually the same other than different calorie caps.)

Abs Diet For Women. The plan, outlined in The New Abs Diet for Women ($25.99, Rodale, 2011), claims to deliver a flat stomach in six weeks. It's packed with gym-free workouts, including exercises that target the legs and butt, as well as moves that incorporate yoga and Pilates. There are also interval workouts purported to burn off pregnancy weight. One of the most obvious differences between the book and its male counterpart, The New Abs Diet ($25.99, Rodale, 2010), is that testimonials and exercises feature women, not men.

[Diets That Let You Drink Alcohol]

The Petite Advantage Diet. Jim Karas's The Petite Advantage Diet ($25.99, HarperOne, 2011) specifically targets women under 5 feet, 4 inches. Karas's premise is that shorter women must work harder than their taller counterparts to lose weight. He argues that cutting out just 40 calories a day—which he says equates to about 4 pounds of fat in a year—is a meaningful goal. The plan emphasizes portion control and women are encouraged to avoid high-calorie ingredients like olive oil and avocado, opting instead for small servings of whole grains.

11-02-2012 16:08 Discover Fat loss at getyourstoday.info You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight. Low Calorie Diets DON'T WORK. You won't lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself. Low Carb Plans DON'T WORK. You'll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict. TOO HARD TO FOLLOW average people Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy(carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu. youtu.be
