A Gluten-Free Diet Plan Need Not Be Dull Or Boring

By Mary And Vlady


Many people suffer today from celiac disease which means they have sensitivity to gluten. However, it's possible to live a healthy and comfortable life, enjoy many good foods, lose weight, and have some fun. You'll need to make some changes and this includes the way that you cook, and here are some tips to make your gluten-free diet easier to handle.

Softer pie crust - You will not have to give up pies, but you can't have normal pastry crusts either. When you create a GF or gluten-free crust make sure to take it easy with the water. Too much moisture can make a crust hard as a rock. However, even good GF crusts may tear but you may be able to smooth them out before placing your pies in the oven. This can make a big difference.

Store bread - If you want GF bread you need to only look as far as your local grocery store. You'll find some very good bread products just sitting on the shelf. Yet, these loaves will not be like the soft bread you used to make sandwiches with. However, if you leave your bread in the freezer and only remove what you need, it may turn out fine. Also, try toasting to avoid tearing or crumbling.

Making your own bread - If you want the best GF breads, you should consider making your own. It may take quite a bit of trial and error, but what have you got to lose? In fact, there is no need to throw away your mistakes. You might be able to crumble them up and use them for stuffing or meatloaf recipes. You could even try to create your own salad croutons.

Lactose and gluten - Many people with celiac disorder also have problems digesting dairy products with lactose. In fact, you might think that your GF diet is failing when it really is a lactose problem getting in the way. If you think you might be lactose intolerant try making substitutions. For buttermilk, try yogurt and check out lactose-free milk in the grocery store.

Fresh veggies to the rescue - Don't forget that you can have all of the fresh fruits and vegetables that you want. In fact, when you choose ones that are green and leafy you will add many good things to your diet. This will simplify weight management and make you full at the same time. However, you will need to be careful which salad dressings you choose.

Cook with a friend - Have you ever noticed how frustrating it can be when you fail in the kitchen? Try to involve someone else in your GF cooking efforts. This will serve two purposes. One, you will have someone that can offer helpful advice, because two minds are better than one. Two, most things in life are enhanced when you share the experience.

Herbalife Formula 1 - When you are looking for a good tasting shake that will not cause you any problems, look no further than Herbalife. Their Formula 1 product does not have gluten, soy, or even dairy. This will give you a special treat without guilt, because it is easy on the waistline too.
