Here you eat pasta, toast and even cake without wheat, barley or rye flour, the main sources of gluten – a protein that, consumed in excess, can trigger a kind of hypersensitivity in the body. From this, the cells and the intestine become inflamed, causing several other problems. Among them, weight gain. Another common sign is feeling your belly bulge right after eating bread or pizza. Not your case? Even so, it is worth stopping gluten consumption for a few days. “Giving the body this rest favors the elimination of excess liquid, improves the functioning of the intestine and, consequently, reduces the accumulation of toxins”, says nutritionist Daniela Jobst. In other words, it detoxifies and deflates.
Staying gluten-free has another advantage: most foods that carry this substance are caloric and, without them, you lose weight more easily. During the diet, fruits, vegetables and roots such as yams, yams, sweet potatoes, cassava and derivatives (tapioca, manioc flour biscuits, cheese bread) will be your carbohydrate sources. “These are foods that guarantee energy without the inconvenience of gluten”, says Daniela Jobst. To complete the dish, the nutritionist always suggests lean proteins, ensuring balance in all meals. If you want, you can even extend the diet for up to 30 days without the risk of starving yourself or losing energy.
Nutritionist tip: drink water and tea (green, mint, hibiscus) freely between meals and a maximum of three small cups of unsweetened coffee.
