Interesting article regarding how removing or lessening flour in your diet can help you lose weight;
"What do you get when you add water to flour? Paste. Refined flour has almost no nutritional value and does not pass through your digestive system very efficiently. It sticks to intestinal linings and makes your digestive system lazy because it doesn't need to be broken down. Flours are also quickly converted to sugar and fat.
Stop eating flour for 3 months
This recommendation applies to all refined flours from all grains and has nothing to do with wheat allergy (celiac disease). Refined flour is not necessarily "bad" for you. But it's not very good for you either and should not form the basis of your diet. Once you start to eliminate flour from your diet you will probably realize how much of the food you eat is flour based. This is a very challenging dietary change that will almost certainly produce results."
