One of the biggest food trends in recent years has been the rise of gluten -free products. Famous celebrities tell about them, the impressers promote them, and before you know it, the list of half grocery says “gluten-free.” But the thing here is – just because there is some gluten -color, it does not mean that it is good for you.

Many celebrities and affected claim that being gluten has helped them manage their weight and feel better. But this is not the whole picture. According to nutritionist Amit Gadre, many gluten-free products in the market contain additional sugar, fat and additives for missing gluten. Therefore, when you can imagine that you are making a healthy option, you can consume more calories than before.
