Caloric restriction: Gluten free diet by itself will not cause weight loss unless you reduce your caloric intake and increase catabolism by exercise. You can lose as much weight as you wish, depending on the redcution in your caloric balance. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/gluten-free-diet/my01140.

Depends: Depends on how sensitive you are to gluten. If sensitive, it can cause inflammation which can hinder weight loss. Also gluten containing foods are carbohydrates, and cutting back on carbs can help weight loss.
