Paleo diet, protein diet, oxy diet, or finally – most popular in recent months – gluten-free diet. All have zarówno its supportersów, as well as opponentów. In the maze of so much information available about them on the Internet, it's worth asking questions – Does fashion go hand in hand with healthy efficiency? Do „diet-miracle” are good for everyone? Konrad Gaca will answer these and other questions – expert on. nutrition, trainer.
The phenomenon of a gluten-free diet
As of 2011, the world, mówiąc krótko, went crazy on the gluten-free diet. Gluten, który is a mixture of proteins, glutenin and gliadin, found in grains someóof cerealsó¿, e.g. Wheat, rye and barley, has been found guilty of disrupting the digestive system and, consequently, stomach ailments and lack of energy in individualsób, które do not suffer from celiac disease 1 . The news spread very quickly and gave rise to the gluten-free diet that is so popular today.
Gluten – good or bad?
Is gluten withdrawal good for everyone? Not necessarily. First of all, eliminating one ingredient from your daily food will not make you „As if by magic rój” lose weight, get past stomach problems and have more energy.
Here it is worth considering why people who follow a gluten-free diet are satisfied with it. Powód is not really about giving up gluten. Otó¿ in products thatóre contain gluten is róother ingredient as well, and it is the restriction of this ingredient that affects our better well-being – I mean carbohydrates. Only 20% of the population boasts excellent glucose tolerance, so the rest should control the consumption of the right amount of carbohydrateów. If they do not do this and suddenly apply their drastic restriction (consciously or not), the effects in the form of losing kilograms ofów will be visible. However, this does not mean that the effectiveness of such a diet is healthy for our body.
Another issue is the fact that a person whoóra applies e.g. gluten-free diet, he automatically thinks about what he consumes and as a result begins to eat healthier. This is obviously a positive development. However, each of us is an individual, so giving up eating gluten on our own, without consulting a doctor or nutritionist, may not be healthy for our bodies, and therefore – can lead to a deficiency of B vitamins, folic acid, zinc, selenium, calcium or magnesium.
„Diet-miracle” does not exist
