To (Gluten) Free or Not To Be: Tips for Going Gluten-Free
Here at Urban Body Fix we are big fans of moderation, especially moderation. Today, many people are deciding to moderate their gluten intake by cutting out foods like bread, pasta, and cereals. So if you’ve decided or are deciding whether to moderate gluten in your diet, Urban Body Fix has got the tips to start your journey. Of course before you start any moderation or diet, you should consult with a medical professional to see if going gluten free is right for you.
Add a Vitamin B Supplement!
When one cuts out bread and cereals, they cut out a lot of food products that are major sources for vitamin B. To combat this loss of vitamin B, we recommend adding nutraMetrix Isotonix Activated B-Complex, which contains a multitude of vitamin B complexes in isotonic form so that your body can absorb the vitamin goodness more quickly and efficiently.
Avoid Highly Processed GF Products
Everyone loves a good cookie here and there, even gluten free ones. You don’t have to totally cut out baked goods and sweet snacks from your diet if you go gluten free, but it is important to note that many gluten free baked goods contain more sugars, carbohydrates, and salt than their gluten counterparts. So just keep in mind that even if it's gluten free, you should still read the ingredients.
Explore the Gluten-Free Grain World
There are so many tasty, healthy and gluten free grains out there that you might not be incorporating into your diet. Whether or not you are gluten free, everyone should give these grains a try. To name a few, quinoa, buckwheat, and millet are all gluten-free grains that are high in fiber, protein, iron and folate. Give them a try.
Get Creative
Grocery stores and bakeries are now dedicating whole aisles or sections to accommodate those with gluten allergies or gluten-free diets, so try some products you haven’t before. There are so many fun and creative food blogs that are providing tasty and most importantly gluten-free recipe and meal prep ideas. The internet is going gluten free!
