7 Easy Low Carb Gluten Free Recipes

One of the more popular phrases circling around the nutrition world today is ‘gluten-free’, and while most people know that going on a gluten-free diet may have health benefits, not everyone knows whether or not they should give it a try. Gluten-free diets can work extremely well with a low-carb approach like Atkins. Since gluten is found in wheat, rye and barley, which are all grains high in carbohydrates, the list of approved low carb foods for Atkins Kickstart contain significantly less gluten simply due to the foods it eliminates. Gluten-free diets are also important for people with gluten sensitivity, because for them, gluten causes the immune system to damage the lining of the small intestine resulting in gas, bloating, poor nutrient absorption, and indigestion.

The best time to make changes for your health is always now, so check out these easy gluten-free recipes from Atkins® below:
