Gluten-free ≠ no problem

Gluten-free ≠ no problem

Gluten-free diet, which has become a whirlwind in Europe and the United States, is now slowly coming to Taiwan, most people want to lose weight healthily, but some people are allergic to gluten, especially those with celiac disease must be careful to avoid foods containing gluten, so products that meet the demand for "gluten-free" have also emerged. When you go to the supermarket, you will find that the outer packaging of the food on the shelf will be marked GF (gluten free), which means that this product does not contain gluten.

Maybe you know that wheat products can easily raise blood sugar and try to avoid them, but many gluten-free products are made from corn starch, potato starch, rice starch or tapioca starch, which is undoubtedly a big mine for people who want to lose weight, although it will not trigger an immune allergic reaction, it will still trigger a "glucose→insulin" reaction, leading to weight gain instead of weight loss. Because this type of carbohydrate can be quickly absorbed by the body and trigger the accumulation of insulin and visceral fat, "gluten-free" food is not "no problem". If you are following a gluten-free diet, you should try to avoid such gluten-free foods and choose natural and healthy prototype foods as much as possible!
