This is the best before/after comparison I could come up with. The photo on the right is more recent and after I lost ~12 pounds by going gluten-free. I’ve since lost 3 more and I have a feeling I have even more to lose.

I spent years (!) trying various diets, workouts, etc. but I could never lose the weight–even when I started heavily counting calories. Went gluten-free, and the weight dropped off effortlessly…I lost 12 pounds in the first three weeks I was gluten-free, and have continued to lose weight since then. No one was more shocked to learn that it was my gluten intake that was putting on the weight than me!
