I am really not sure that gluten free diet is a right solution to lose weight and keep it for the long run. I lost 40 pounds in 3 months and keep it for 6 years, by a personalized healthy nutrition. I also helped others to achieve their goals by the same way.
I have celiac disease. I noticed my first relief from some of my symptoms in 3 days. Other symptoms took months to go away. Improvement in general well-being and energy and weight loss happened slowly, but steadily. For some people, noticeable improvement takes a long time on the diet.
Many people gain weight once they start a gluten-free diet, because their damaged intestines weren’t absorbing the food they ate, so they couldn’t get the nutrition they needed no matter how much they ate.
Others lose weight, because their bodies have been telling them they are starving for nutrients, so they constantly feel the need to eat to satisfy cravings; or because gluten intolerance can throw the thyroid or hormones out of balance and cause weight gain; or simply because, by cutting out gluten, they are eating fewer calories and are eating a larger percentage of healthier, non-processed foods, like meat and vegetables instead of, say, pizza.
If you are trying this as an elimination diet, you could re-introduce gluten after 3-6 weeks and see if you react negatively to eating it.
