Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Fresh Fruits, Vegetables and Herbs (preferably home-grown)
- Gluten-free grains such as Quinoa, Sorghum, Rice, Corn, Millet, Buckwheat (necessary energy!)
- Dairy, meat and fish (no processed)
Step1
By reducing sodium intake, refined carbohydrate intake and introducing fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs for seasoning, it is not difficult to lose weight and maintain your health while following a gluten-free diet. The real secret is to watch out for what you put ON these healthy foods. It is easy to load up on condiments that are full of modified wheat starch and calories, as well as dressings and processed toppings. Don't forget to read labels and exercise!

Is Pizza your downfall? Here's a delicious, nutritious, vegan, low-cal, gluten-free recipe!
Step3
You'll need:
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup chickpea flour
3 cups water
2 tablespoons sunflower oil (for batter)
8 tablespoons sunflower oil (for cooking)
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds (or other substitute for 2 eggs)
2 teaspoons salt
1. Mix the brown rice flour, chick pea flour, water, salt, ground flax and 2 tbsp Oil in a mixer. The mix should be thin and flow relatively fine (this will make the dough thinner when cooking). If your dough is still thick add a little water until it thins.
2. Pour 2 tbsp oil into a hot pan or griddle. Pour out four small batches of batter to make pancake sized crusts.
3. Cook on each side until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
4. Place individual crusts on a baking sheet and top as you like. (Fresh vegetables are great -- watch out for processed meats!)
6. Bake for 5-10 minutes at 400.
