Within the past few years without question, the gluten free lifestyle has taken the nutritional world by storm. Gluten free diets were only followed by people with Celiac or that are gluten intolerant. Now a lot of people, famous and not famous have jumped on the gluten free wagon. It can be a healthy way of eating, however this takes work, and a lot of people are on it for the wrong reasons. Due to the high demand of gluten free products, the food companies are trying to capitalize on the gluten free craze. This makes gluten free eating expensive, especially to those who have no choice. Here are some ways to eat gluten free, healthy and without breaking the bank.
1. Fresh Produce- Any healthy diet gluten free or not, should include fruits and vegetables. Those with Celiac don't have to worry or think, because all fruits and vegetables are gluten free. Depending on the season and sales, look ahead and see what is affordable. Try different vegetables, look up recipes and vary each week. Getting the sale foods will help with cost. Fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber.
2. Try different grains- You can still eat certain grains on a gluten free diet. Some whole grains are great affordable choices, these include rice, quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth. They have great flavor and are nutritious.
3. Protein- Eat lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts and tofu. To afford these buy in bulk and freeze to use later. Being gluten free you don't need to lack in protein.
There are ways to live an affordable, healthy, gluten free lifestyle. Stick with whole, clean gluten free foods. You are sure to feel good and be successful.
