Why any weight loss diet is difficult for celiacs?
Most of ready diets are not suitable for as they contain some amount of gluten. MelChoices does not prepare meals in bulk. The meals are individually prepared. So special care can be taken to to eliminate gluten containing ingredients from meals.
When people with celiac disease tend to avoid gluten, they tend to use more starch or derivatives. This tends to increase glycemic food. Result - bloating, sugar crashes and weight gain can happen or atlease weight loss is difficult.
So what is really safe?
