Is Eating Gluten Free Making You Fat?

 Gluten is a protein found in most grains that give grain products that chewy and satisfying consistency. Taking on a gluten free diet is popular at the moment for a variety of reasons. The main reason people eliminate gluten from their diet is for digestive and allergic reasons. Lately it seems like everyone and their mother is gluten intolerant! Weather or not all the people who are adopting a gluten free diet are actually gluten intolerant, or just jumping on the band wagon, is an argument for another day! 

 The second reason a lot of people are adopting a gluten free diet is because they believe it will help them lose weight. While it can be effective for helping you lose weight to adopt a gluten free diet, you'll only lose the weight if you're eating the right gluten free foods. If you're not eating the right gluten free foods, it's a recipe for disaster and weight gain! Check out the video above for more details!

Paleo Strawberry Banana "Oatmeal"

 If you're missing your morning bowl of oats, then I highly suggest you try this easy recipe. It only takes a few minutes to make, and best of all it uses ingredients you probably have in the house right now! I've posted a recipe for paleo oatmeal on this blog before, this recipe is a little different. The first paleo oat meal I wrote about tastes a lot more like fresh oatmeal, where as this recipe is a little bit more like instant oatmeal. It's smooth, rich, and sweet, making it perfect for those who love fruit or for the kids. This recipe makes one bowl, you can always double the recipe for two.


 Here's What You'll Need:

- 1 Banana
- 5-8 Fresh Strawberries
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tbsp Coconut Milk
- 1 Dash Cinnamon
- 1 Dash Vanilla Extract
- Unsalted Butter


How To Put It Together: 

- Put your eggs, banana, strawberries, coconut milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Mash them all together. You could also use a food processor.
- Use the butter to grease the bottom of a frying pan
- Heat the pan at a little higher than medium and pour your mixture into the pan
- Stir the mixture around in the pan continuously until it becomes thick and oatmeal like. Make sure to stir the mixture constantly without rest so that it doesn't burn or over cook in any one area.
- Pour the now cooked "oatmeal" into a bowl, top with fresh strawberries, and enjoy!
