2. 1. YOU’LL FEEL GREAT!
• GF food is easier for everyone to digest
• You might discover that certain discomforts
you had before while eating non-GF have
disappeared!
3. 2. Easier clean up!
• Pots, pans, mixing bowls, etc. are so much
easier to clean up after a bunch of cooking or
baking
• GF batters rinse off way easier than
conventional flour!
4. 3. Exposure to ethnic foods!
• You will be exposed to foreign diets
• These diets have little to no wheat! Such as:
Thai, Persian, South American, Native
American, Japanese, Indian
5. 4. Develop Empathy!
• I always wonder how it feels to be a person
who has more severe allergies than I have –
now you’ll understand how it is!
• At a restaurant – decline the rolls, at a party –
decline the cupcakes, no pizza Fridays or
game-day beer and donuts
6. 5. LOSE WEIGHT!
• Everyone is always looking for the new fad
diet that’ll make them drop pounds fast
• A gluten-free diet is the way to go. You can eat
such a variety of healthier delicious food
without feeling guilty!
• Eliminate bread and have a salad instead of a
sandwich, or corn pasta instead of regular!
7. 6. Learn about the many existing flours
• So many flours are available that do not
contain wheat or gluten! Take advantage!
These flours have health benefits unlike
regular flour!
• Examples of GF flour: garbanzo
bean, quinoa, flax
seed, mesquite, coconut, among MANY
MORE!
8. 7. Support small business!
• Many of the companies who produce GF
crackers, cookies and flours are
independent, local businesses
• SUPPORT GLUTEN FREEKS!
9. 8. Everyone can come to dinner!
• If about 1% of the population has Celiac
Disease and a higher percentage has gluten
intolerance or sensitivity, you can be proud
and comfortable knowing that everyone will
be accommodated at your dining room table
(Still check for lactose, vegan, and nut
preferences/allergies)
10. 9. Satisfaction from preparing food
from SCRATCH!
• We all eat way too much prepackaged,
processed food
• By going GF, you will find yourself cooking and
baking a ton and the food will taste 100%
better than packaged food
• GO ORGANIC AS WELL!
11. 10. Gain knowledge of new food!
• Food is elemental in our daily lives
• Altering one’s diet will teach you so much
about food and yourself
• You WILL be more open minded and happy
• Cooking and eating GF will be easier than
learning the violin (easy but not too easy) and
the results will amaze your taste buds!
