MudVayne24- Its good to see that you enjoy working with nutrition and like implementing your knowledge. I too have been around research going on in the nutrition field and medical field. I believe gluten has been given a bad name via main stream media and marketing. However I feel like you and me both know we don't get our info from just any website. Yes gluten can cause several unfortunate side effects, if there is a intolerance. However there are no test to date that can pin point a sensitivity to gluten. Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder(genetic) which you have an intolerance to the protein called Gluten. Eating Gluten every day will not give you that disease. Just like drinking dairy everyday will not make you lactose intolerant. Ones body cannot process the protein, making your body an evacuation machine. Eating any food in excess will most likely land you with problems or cause problems later. There is next to no science on gluten's negative effect on the body (without a intolerance). That is why I cringe when reading all these articles on how terrible gluten is for you. Cutting gluten out of a diet allows for a small variety of foods. Almost all these gluten free foods are healthy, but this diet approach is terribly hard to reach your nutrition needs! Processed foods is a threat to digestive health and nutrition needs. Stick to whole foods. Again, no hard evidence(scholarly) on the Gluten free diet (yet). ACClutch- I agree with almost all of the nutrition and exercise components. Great program, I just enjoy looking at these workouts. Maybe Ill try it some day. Right now I am working on a diet that consist of whole foods only, 6-7 meals a day, and consistent protein, carb, and fat needs. I see improvements and positive progress as I progress in my training regime. Im sure this program produces the same results.

Cutting gluten out of a diet doesn't dwindle a diet down to nothing by any means. You wont be eating a certain handful of different grains, but that's about it. I'll agree that if you're an organic farmer and pull the wheat straw out of the ground and process it yourself I don't think there would be many problems with consuming it once in a while. The same goes for dairy. All of these intolerances and allergies are stemming from mainstream milk which is basically boiled and homogenized, killing off most if not all of the active enzymes, bacteria, and many other beneficial aspects of it. If you have an intolerance to typical dairy, chances are that quality grass-fed organic raw milk will not bother you at all. The unfortunate part is that is not the case in society. All of these diseases and intolerances that are flaring up now were literally non-existant 50-100 years ago. Then again 100 years ago people didn't eat gluten and drink pasteurized/homogenized dairy very often either. I value your opinion, but we will probably continue to agree to disagree my man. Keep up the research!

Mudvayne, Your analysis of why "mainstream" milk is misleading. When you say "boiling" I believe you are talking about pasteurization--a world changing technique when invented. It is supposed to kill off bacteria, that's the point--those aren't "beneficial". Did you really just say 100 years ago people didn't eat gluten? You need to check what you say, you will mislead the uninformed.

OK... calm down everyone... Gluten is a naturally occuring protien, wont do your body any harm. now, as for the gentic disorders and diseases, that's something else, you will NOT suddenly get intolerant or allergic to something. certian auto-immune diseases could be induced in certain ways. the problem with Gluten is, it comes from crab sources mostly, and those increase insulin and all causing you to be fat IF you do not do it right.

15% of the population has gluten allergies, I am apart of that 15% and I can not wait to start AC's program because I already avoid gluten and dairy and need something like this!
