Gluten Free & Fat Burning Foods - Nutrition Myths Busted!

Registered Dietitian Abbey Sharp debunks the Gluten Free and Fat Burning foods myths in this engaging video. Abbey Sharp has been lending her expertise to foodies worldwide for years and has established herself as a wealth of dietary knowledge. This video is no exception, clearly debunking two of the most well-known myths in the history of nutrition. The Gluten Free myth was the first one tackled.

Many people erroneously believe that Gluten Free foods are better for you. The only case that would be true for are people that actually suffer from celiac disease. These people are simply gluten intolerant and that's that. Gluten is actually an important and beneficial part of food that should not be overlooked, as Abbey clearly explains. Gluten is the "glue" that holds food together. It is specifically the general name given to the proteins found in wheat. When you remove gluten from foods you have to substitute additional ingredients to compensate like sugar, fat, salt and calories which can lead to weight gain. Additionally, the ingredients added to compensate for the lack of gluten typically result in an overall reduction of flavor as well as nutrients. In other words, gluten free food will never have the robust flavor of the original recipe or provide your body with the same high quality nutrients it needs.

Abbey moves on to the myth of Fat Burning foods in her next segment. Many people still believe that there is actually a food that will burn fat when you eat it. Celery is often thought of as one of these foods. The amount of calories expended to eat and digest celery may be equal or slightly lower than the calories gained from the celery. In other words, as Abbey points out, it's an equal exchange. In order to actually lose weight eating celery you would have to eat nothing but celery every single day, and according to Abbey, likely between 350-500 stalks. Aside from the obvious fact that nobody wants to eat that much celery you would be depriving your body of the nutrients necessary to keep it healthy. There is no food that will burn fat when you eat it, period.

As always, thank you for tuning in. You can find more information about nutrition myths like gluten free foods and fat burning foods at Abbey's blog, as well as a myriad of additional information fit for consumption by foodies everywhere.

I actually asked my doctor about gluten, I just kept getting really mixed messages from everyone in my circle. Everyone wanted to hate on gluten, but nodoby really had a concrete answer why. He told me the exact same thing you're saying here.

Another stellar video here Abbey, although I have to admit that giant pile of celery does look awfully tempting :) I have been wondering what all the fuss regarding gluten free foods was. I prefer my foods as original as possible.

I don't need a diagnosis. Feel sick every time I eat gluten.

[jeetvala]

finally found someone who doesn't think removing gluten from ur diet is not as good as they say. obveously they do chemical processes to remove gluten from the food, which is not healthy as our food should be in as natural form as it can be possible.like your video.

Thank you Abbey and Happy New Year. I will share this one on my page. I love the fun mood of your video...

[DaxIsAName]

What I've heard about people with "gluten intolerance" is that it most likely them having a reaction to the over processed parts of the factory made bread, which then comes the recommendation of "sprouted wheat" bread you have to keep in your fridge. I dunno if that's true tho.
