One of the things we see in the diagnosed celiac community is people 
becoming overweight. This is for two reasons. The obvious is our gut 
is absorbing the food more efficiently. And the other is the 
carbohydrate oriented diet that celiacs follow, and is pushed on 
them. When you go to any gathering of celiacs gluten-free carbs will 
be the primary food. When you go to a celiac convention there will 
always be a session with a dietitian pushing grains. The problem with 
grains is they are carbs and they make you fat. The food industry 
pushes them on us as they are low labor and therefore highly profitable.

The Paleolithic diet has been around for more than 10 years. The 
early followers of the diet adopted it to avoid the many diseases of 
civilization that now plague us. There were not very many of us. The 
next, and much larger wave, were people that adopt the diet as a 
means to increase their athletic performance. People on the diet 
consider it a permanent change to their way of eating.

As the diet eliminates all grains, potatoes, and beans, but allows 
unlimited vegetables and fruit, it is a much lower carb diet than 
people normally follow. And consequently people lose weight on it. 
Though if the person has a lot of weight to lose they may have to 
limit the fruit.

There are a few books on the diet. The main one is being revised and 
a new edition will be out in December. One can realistically lose 75 
pounds in six months following the book's advice. A companion 
cookbook will also be published in December. Together they do not 
make the $25 shipping minimum, but you can put them in your cart now 
and order when you have something else to buy.
