Hello,
I would like to ask what you think about a gluten-free diet for people who do not suffer from celiac disease. Nowadays, it's quite a popular method for losing weight.
Thank you and have a nice day.

I am of the opinion that a gluten-free diet for healthy individuals does not have a significant impact on health or weight reduction. However, consider this as an entry postulate into the discussion, because it is an indisputable fact that the Western diet has an unattractive excess of gluten-containing grain products, which in some respects leads to increased metabolic burden. In reality, it's not just about gluten, but also the excess of technologically processed carbohydrates with all the known health implications. As soon as an individual in this situation starts to address a change in their diet and opts for a gluten-free approach, it very often (though this is not a requirement) leads to the choice of gluten-free alternatives with higher quality grains (lower GI, higher fiber and micronutrient content, easier digestibility, less presence of additives...) and simultaneously a reduction in their volume in the diet. These (at first glance not essential) changes can have a significant impact on the individual in many cases, which then gives the impression that gluten is the culprit for all that is wrong in nutrition.
