I eat healthier now that I am GF. Before going GF, I preferred the “health food” store type of bakery, which is grainy and as my husband would say “fit for a horse.” Most GF bakery is like mainstream bakery, but sweeter and grosser in my opinion. The same with pancakes, I never liked white pancakes or white pasta or white bread. I would always order buckwheat pancakes. Unfortunately, the buckwheat mix has regular wheat flour mixed in. I have made pure buckwheat ones at home, which are good. If I want dessert, I will have some ice cream or a handful of dates satisfies my sweet craving. I find myself eating a lot more veggies than I did before. I try to eat naturally gf. I have also read that once you are off of wheat, you become more sensitive to sweet tastes, so you find most commercial packaged foods too sweet.

(most) People will always crave sweets and snacks, and there will always be crappy solutions. I know I still want a cookie / cracker / pizza once in a while (I am a chef and foodie first, after all), and found that I need to make my own high protein / low carb versions, cause I’m not satisfied with the options that come in a box (shocker!) There IS a way to feel completely satisfied with your food choices without killing yourself. It’s my specialty, in fact! Primal Docs thanks for posting my recipe!

My husband is ncgi and he rarely eats the gf junk food. Because of that lovely gf after taste most baked goods add MORE sugar and other processed stuff is added to GF items than the equivalent products. We have noticed many people that have known they have a gluten inotolerence for a few years really packed on the pounds. Not only does this stuff have more sugar or calories in general, but celiacs tend to over indulge when they can because they feel deprived.

For those that say they will eat what they want, of course that is true! On the other hand it is still good to know what is going on in the food that you are eating and take some care when making your choices. I think when you start reading the labels it will startle you as to how much MORE junkie many GF foods are just because they are trying to replicate “normal” junk food. I too am dismayed by the amount of GF junk food is on the GF aisles in stores just for this reason.

Yes, do keep up the good work. Junk food is junk food under any disguise “organic”, “gluten free”, “soy free”. Every thing we place into or on our bodies stays with us. Food becomes cells. Good nutrition promotes good cell growth. Sugars, GMOs, man-made foods ie artificial sweetners, etc have all been proven to provide or create cells that cause cancers, inflamation, and other health issues. We need your voice.

Whoa, I see your response down there! I wasn’t offended! :) My son prefers my gluten free food only because there is so much sugar added….and he likes to remind me how much is added:P I have 1 gf cookbook for “goodies” and the rest of the time I am on the hunt for the healthy stuff:) Keep up the good work!

When I first started out on my GF journey after being diagnosed with celiac disease (and having suffered nearly a year of physical consequences) I was disturbed to find many GF recipes, blogs, FB pages, etc., to revolve around sugar and sweets, and not a balanced, nutritious diet. I’m happy to read any recipes and tips that aren’t focused on replacing the most unhealthy gluten-containing foods with equally unhealthy GF substitutes! Sure, I like an occasional brownie or cookie, but veggies, proteins, and healthy fats like OFAs, along with acidic foods to help digestion and fermented cultures to maintain healthy gut flora are much higher priorities for me, for overall feelings of well-being.
