GLUTEN FREE HONEY WHITE BREAD

My wife has a friend who recently went gluten-free to lose weight.  It was very successful for him.  He is an athlete and he said he felt he had more energy.  Based on his positive feedback, my wife and I have discussed maybe trying a week of gluten-free eating.  I have done a little research on gluten-free eating.  If you do not need to eat gluten-free for health reasons, then you need to be careful.  This WebMD link suggests that you need to make sure you make up for the lost vitamins, minerals and fiber.  I will need to research this concept more before my wife and I embark on this concept
