Food Allergy and Gluten-Free Weight Loss by Nicolette M. Dumke

Food Allergy and Gluten-Free Weight Loss gives definitive answers to the question, "Why is it so hard to lose weight?" It is because we have missed or ignored the most important pieces in the puzzle of how our bodies determine whether to store or burn fat. Those puzzle pieces are hormones such as insulin, cortisol, leptin, and others. Individuals with food allergies or gluten intolerance face additional weight-loss challenges such as inflammation due to allergies or a diet too high in rice. This book explains how to put your body chemistry and hormones to work for you rather than against you, reduce inflammation which inhibits the action of your master weight control hormone, leptin, and flip your fat switch from "store" to "burn." It includes a flexible healthy eating plan that eliminates hunger, promotes the burning of fat, and reduces inflammation and tells how to customize the plan so it fits you, your allergies or intolerances, and your need for pleasure in what you eat. Information about cooking for special diets, 175 recipes, a list of sources for special foods, and extensive appendix and reference sections are also included.

Goodreads Summary

So you are have a gluten intolerance, now what?  This book attempts to answer that questions, particulary if you are trying to lose weight.  The recipe section is numerous and does not contain "all healthy" recipes-merely recipes that have been "healthified."  The reader does not need to worry about being told to stick to fruits and veggies his/her whole life. 

One of the better portions of this book will help the reader customize his/her own personal plan towards weight loss.  This should eliminate caloric intake and exercise problems.  It is also great that the author took hormones into consideration when writing this book.  One should, of course, consider body chemistry when attempting weight loss.  This book is recommended to anyone looking for a fresh take on weight loss...and needs the recipes and suggestions to be gluten free.
