Gluten free, or grain free, or dairy free, are the key to weight loss
Holy shit has this last one caught fire recently. The paleo diet can likely be thanked for that. We now have people running around pretending to be cavemen, swearing off all grains, gluten, shoes, and razors. There’s plenty of people in this world who have certain sensitivities to foods like gluten, grains, and dairy.
There’s no doubt about that. Those people should eliminate these things. It seems like there’s more people who have sensitivities to these foods than we originally thought. That’s not everyone; not by a long shot.
Eliminating these things from your diet won’t bring huge weight loss results if you don’t have a sensitivity to these foods. Even if you do have sensitivity, it might not lead to a huge amount of weight loss. There’s also plenty of health benefits from eating whole grains or dairy, despite what paleo zealots may tell you. Obviously a variety of vegetables is better than anything else. But people can get plenty of B vitamins, fiber, calcium, and vitamin D from these foods.
There’s simply no reason to eliminate them if you don’t have to.
People will always be looking for the next diet tip or trick to get them abs. It’s just difficult to put vegetables, lifting, and eating in moderation into practice. It takes time, a smattering of willpower, and a bit of planning. Once you get it down though, it leads to a far more enjoyable life than trying to be a caveman.
