A member asked:

Is it easy to lose weight when on a gluten free diet?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Weight loss is the result of having negative caloric balance, by either reducing your intake or increasing catabolism by exercise, preferably both. Gluten free diet by itself will not help in losing weight if you do not reduce your intake. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gluten-free-diet/my01140.
