Finally a bread that is tasty and holds together to make a real sandwich. Thank You…..Have a question: Can this bread be
frozen and still taste the same? The grocery man said to just leave it out on the table and use it when you need it. How long can you do that? What makes it last so long? Thanks

I have lost about 25 pds in two months after going GF. I agree that is is because my body is finally accepting and using food in the manor it is suppose to. Also, the bloating is gone which for me was a major thing. Udi’s products are the best and have become my comfort food! I live in Denver so I can frequent their resturants – it is my safety zone!

Before being diagnosed with Celiac, I could eat anything and not gain weight, because I wasn’t getting the nutrients. Since going GF, I have gained about 20 lbs., and am constantly struggling to lose weight. Didn’t realize how many calories were in GF products, and was so excited I could eat without getting sick. One thing I do know is that since I’ve gone GF I hardly ever get sick.

I hear all of you! When I was diagnosed I weighed 95 lbs and a size 0…I didn’t even know that was a size. I gained enough back to look healthy enough about 15lbs but I must say discovering gluten free food has now put me way over what I’ve ever been in my life. Unhappy but honest enough to know I shouldn’t eat all four Udi’s blueberry muffins in two days!! I can’t blame the food, only myself – you have to limit yourself and Exercise!
Happy Holidays

I lost 50+ lbs when I switched to the diet- but it wasn’t because of the foods I was eating. It was because I was CONSTANTLY hungry as food would rapidly pass through my system. So I ended up eating all the time, because my body wanted nutrients! But now because my body’s actually processing the food I’m eating, I’m eating a normal amount of food, and the weight came off naturally.

This article wasn’t saying that those with sensitivities won’t lose weight, just that those that think this is the new Atkins diet won’t lose weight. It is more common to lose weight if you are gluten free medically because your body is healing and you are getting healthy and likely more active because you feel better.

It isn’t eliminating gluten that helps non sensitive/celiac people lose weight-its paying attention to what you eat. I had a cousin who would swear by a different elimination diet (no carbs, no sugar, and for a odd phase no red fruits or veggies) every other month. She would then complain "the effect wear off after you are on it a few weeks". She never made the connection that for the first month or so she was carefully reading the labels of everything and paying attention to how often she snacked. After a while she would find a "safe" snack and eat it mindlessly. With the possible exception of celery, anything you eat as a "default action" when bored is going to cause you to gain weight.

I’ve been on Weight Watchers for over a year. A few months ago I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Because I am on Weight Watchers, I still have to watch calories, fat, and fiber grams and do find gluten free products to be higher in fat. Udi’s is actually very reasonable and easier for me to fit in to my plan than other gluten free baked goods. However, the baked goods are still a special treat. Bottom line, I haven’t lost weight more quickly or more slowly on a gluten free diet. It has always been slow loss, and it is still slow loss!
