Gluten is a protein found in grains of wheat, rye and barley. So, say ‘no’ to staple grains of wheat, rye, barley and its products. People on gluten free diet resort to grains like millets, brown rice, sorghum, amaranth, quinoa and legumes. “Gluten free diets do work in reducing weight. Once wheat grains are out, you will reduce your consumption of bakery items, which means less fat especially the harmful trans-fat and less salt,” said Ritu.
