Weight Loss and the Gluten-Free Diet

I have heard rumors that say that people who go on a gluten-free diet, (for health reasons, or otherwise), tend to lose weight.

I had started changing up the way I had been eating for the past three weeks just a little bit. This, of course, provided a challenge.
