We enjoy hearing from our readers. While you may not know anyone who has tried to eat gluten free to lose weight, there are dieters who have and many more who will as is the nature of fad diets. We do not agree with fad diets. We are not condoning a gluten free diet for weight loss purposes, we are actually against the practice. We feel a healthy lifestyle that includes eating healthfully and regular exercise is the best weight loss plan. We please ask you to review our posts carefully, you see, our article was very specific. Should gluten free diets be used as a weight loss tool? If you were simply trying to argue for eating gluten free to avoid health issues we understand your concern. Eating gluten free is not for everyone. We applaud your weight loss and the healthy life you now lead. Obesity is at the root of many health issues, such as high blood pressure, headaches and diabetes to name a few. When people are active and eat well, not necessarily gluten free, and enjoy desserts, etc in moderation, they are less likely to suffer from these problems, most importantly is trying to get some exercise in on a daily basis, any form of exercise. Thank you again for commenting, and we hope you like the Gluten-Free Recipe, please let us know if you were able to try it. Thank you for reading our blog. We enjoy hearing from our readers.

I don't know why you'd necessarily think of it as a weight loss technique, but then that can be said more many diet trends. Thanks for putting this together! Great post – very informative.

Gluten can affect many health issues, cutting gluten out of my diet cured my high blood pressure and got me off meds after 9 years of taking them. I have a friend with MS that has stopped her flares after going gluten free. It's also something that helps with migraines, a lot. There are many reasons to try it, weight loss is not one I would actually recommend. /off soapbox On another note, this cake looks amazing! ;) I’ve never know anyone that did gluten free to lose weight even though I know a lot of gluten free/Paleo/Primal eaters.
