Did you know that a sensitivity to wheat can result in unwanted weight gain? Yes, it’s true. I know this for sure, because if I eat wheat on a regular basis I will gain 20lbs, take it out of my diet and the pounds drop off instantly.
Many people’s bodies are not genetically equipped to digest wheat properly and they have what is called a food allergy or food sensitivity. An allergy or sensitivity results in fluid retention or allergic edema, inflammation or a disruption in the metabolic system, all of which lead to weight gain.

Wheat is one of the most common foods to be sensitive to and result in weight gain, however a sensitivity to corn, cane sugar or other grains is very common as well. Although grains are the most common food group to lead to weight gain, an unidentified sensitivity to any food group can also result in weight gain – it could be beans, soy, dairy, chicken etc.

You can determine if you have unidentified sensitivities with a simple test called ALCAT. Remove the foods it identifies and the weight will fall off effortlessly.

So, if losing weight is on the top of your New Years resolution list, this simple change in your diet can help you succeed.
