Good luck!

What is a GF regimen?

Gluten Free.  If you are on Atkins...you are eating gluten free cuz you don't eat bread or processed products.

Atkins is a more restrictive diet than GF - the only foods that I cannot eat are the ones that contain wheat, barley (including barley malt extract), and rye.  If you want to know more about GF things, the best site to go to is www.celiac.com - Celiacs have an auto-immune response to gluten, so they have to be GF for life.  It is actually a very EASY regimen to follow, despite what a lot of gastroenterologists may think!

We found out about GF when our youngest daughter was diagnosed with CD last year, and we haven't looked back.  There are quite a few posts on the celiac forums about people who went GF after a CD diagnosis and started losing weight without even trying.  In the past 10 months, I have lost 37 pounds, and the only thing that I stopped eating was gluten!

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions - I have done a lot of research since our daughter's diagnosis.
