The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide

Summary

For years Elisabeth Hasselbeck couldn't pinpoint what was making her sick. She consulted doctors and nutritionists, but no one seemed to have any answers. It wasn't until she was close to starving in the Australian Outback, living off the land as a contestant on Survivor, that, ironically, her symptoms vanished. Returning home, she identified the food ingredient that made her ill—gluten, the binding element in barley, oats, wheat, and rye. By simply eliminating it from her diet, she was able to enjoy a completely normal, healthy life. Hasselbeck also discovered the myriad benefits that anyone can enjoy from a gluten-free diet, from increased energy to improved attention span and quicker digestion. In this all-inclusive book, Hasselbeck arms you with the tools you need to start living a gluten-free life—from defining gluten and targeting gluten-free food and beauty products to creating G-free shopping lists, sharing recipes, and managing G-free living with family and friends, whether at home or away. Whatever your motivation for going G-free—whether you suffer from celiac disease, as Elisabeth does, or want to maintain a healthy lifestyle—The G-Free Diet is the key to reaching your goal!
