There are many types of diets. However, all of the successful diets follow similar plans. They emphasize eating more fruits and vegetables, consuming less fat and sugar, portion control and exercise.
One of the most popular diet plans today is the gluten-free diet.
Doctors recommend that people who have celiac disease avoid consuming gluten. Only one percent of the population has celiac disease.Alan Levinovitz is a professor at James Madison University.
He has stated that people who follow the gluten-free diet have reported feeling healthier. However, he believes that the reason people feel better after trying the gluten-free diet is because they change their behavior.
Alan is the author of a book entitled “The Gluten Lie.” In his book, he explains that the reason people who follow a gluten-free diet lose weight and improve their health is because they eat more fruits and vegetables.
The gluten-free diet also eliminates a lot of unhealthy foods. Peter Gibson is the director of gastroenterology of Monash University.
Alan interviewed Peter when he was writing the book. Peter also conducted a study on gluten-free diets. He has stated that the benefits that people achieve from following a gluten-free diet may be psychological.
He also stated that people should consult with their doctor if they want to follow a gluten-free diet.
