How did *you* get lean and muscly?

Gliadin is the part of gluten that people react adversely to, not "another substance". Eating gluten-free is not making you feel better, it's impossible to avoid gluten unless you go on a full coeliac diet.

It's not the only part,
Gluten is comprised of giladin & glutenins.
Considering the appetite promoting & opiate effects giladin can have in the brain, would you not agree it's a substance to be avoided?

On your other point, a minimal amount of gluten is better than a lot of it.

TBH, any trainer I know (and any decent trainer) won't recommend using gluten free alternatives.

Please tell us so what they recommend you replace them with?

Cornflakes? About 5 years ago.

And no I don't eat bread, pasta and only eat rice when it's in sushi.

I can assure you my eating habits are far from boring.

Here's a typical breakfast lunch and snack for me:

Yes, looks good and heres a typical dinner for me (taken from my IG)


Difference is, do I eat like that 100% of time, no of course not I'm only human.

But more power to you, you can go all year round with 100% non processed foods wether they are gluten or gluten free.

Jesus even people with celiac disease can't do that...............

But I guess you're pretty special.

Which ones do you think confirm that gluten is bad for people? Instead of linking a wall of text you clearly haven't read

Eggs, meats, veg, fruit, nuts etc. It's not really that hard to eat good food that's not boring if you've any sort of creativity.


I am partial to a pix n mix every so often.


...and you haven't even seen my a$$

We're going nowhere with this and if you're like me, it could go on forever!

Look all I'm trying to say is....

A 100% gluten free diet for the average person that doesn't need it is bull-chit, maybe YOU are strict enough to cut it out completely (without knowing you I can't say for sure)

But the average person that jumps on this gluten free fad, will overtime start to miss egg with toast etc and instead of buying a loaf of bread (this is only a e.g.)
which won't do them one bit of harm will start replacing them with there gluten free counterparts which are usually packed with more sugar and fat to make up for the bland taste.

Or they will eat gluten free this but the sauce they mix it with will be laced with it, so IMO 100% gluten diet is a load of bull-chit unless you medically need it.

And when I said boring, I meant it must be pretty boring not heading for a coffee and a sambo, having a beer and pizza or just going for dinner every now and again because if you do any of these you are eating processed chit (gluten or gluten free)

I would just prefer to eat a balanced diet and watch my macro's, sure I eat loads of gluten free stuff, but do I avoid it like it's the plague, lol no.

But whatever works for you so we'll just have to agree to disagree..
.
This is IMO just another fitness fad...(I spend a lot of time on bigger fitness forums and not so much on here anymore and it's laughable to me to see how much this is being pushed on here, but as per usual most people are like sheep here)

These are my opinions, you don't have to agree with them...

http://chriskresser.com/50-shades-of-gluten-intolerance I'm currently reading Chris Kresser's book and there's a whole section dedicated to Gluten. Everything he says goes along with my personal experiences. He mentions a new term which represents the middle ground between Celiac and totally gluten tolerant, called Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. I think this is what the majority of people suffer from.

The best way to test for NCGS is to do a 30 day gluten-free challenge and check how you feel.

I don't think ANYONE or any trainer is recommending 100% gluten free because we know no one is going to stay on that all the time.

I'm happy enough if my clients are off wheat 90% of the time and then get strong and be able to pass any of my Metcon tests
