Can the GF-CF diet change the world?
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
The GF-CF diet can change the world, according to experts at the recent Asian Autism Conference in Hong Kong. But what is it, and how can it change your life? GF-CF is short for gluten-free, casein-free diet. Gluten is a major ingredient in many breads, pastas and wheat products, while casein is present in many dairy items.
But why is it so revolutionary? Apparently, adopting a GF-CF diet can rid children of many symptoms, including physical symptoms like diarrhea and insomnia, plus behavioural problems like agitation and hyperactivity. And it's thought that gluten and casein play a role in Autism as well, and a GF-CF diet can help treat the condition.
But implementing a GF-CF might be harder than it sounds. Cut out all wheat and dairy? It would be difficult for me ... how about you?

I have had a GF-CF diet for quite a while now, not cuz i wanted to but cuz i had no choice. To be honest, it wasnt all that hard. There are so many other good better for you foods out there that after a while u dont miss not having that bread, or pasta or icecream dessert. I think its a great way to keep your shape in control and it leaves u less full feeling cuz the other foods are less densfeeling... which means that u might get off that couch and take a walk after dinner!!
