Gluten-free meals can be healthy if they are well-balanced and contain a variety of nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains that are naturally gluten-free. However, it’s important to note that many gluten-free processed foods can be high in sugar, sodium, and unhealthy fats, so it’s important to read labels and choose whole foods as much as possible. To help you identify what products are more whole foods than others read our guide on “How to Read a Food Label in Australia“.

Additionally, some people may unnecessarily adopt a gluten-free diet as a fad or for weight loss, which may not necessarily result in a healthier diet. Therefore, it’s important to seek advice from a healthcare professional before making any dietary changes.
