Introduction

Whether it’s in an effort to lose weight or because you’re one of the relatively small number of people who are allergic to it, you’re not alone if you’re avoiding wheat in your diet. Keep in mind that a wheat allergy and a gluten allergy are two different things – people who have a gluten allergy will still find many recipes in this cookbook which they can prepare and enjoy as written, but others which contain other grains, such as rye, which contain this protein.

When you give up wheat, you’re also giving up these unhealthy foods and that can also help you to lose weight.

Whatever your reasons are for wanting to cut wheat out of your diet, you’re likely to find that it’s easier for
