The Unlimited guide to Gluten Free Sugar Free Foods

Gluten free sugar free foods are all about living a healthy lifestyle and eating delicious food without guilt. With so many choices available, you will find recipes for everyone in the family, from babies to seniors.

Wherever possible, I have included food suggestions that my children love, and they are quick, easy, and inexpensive to make.

There are often several versions to a recipe as some of the recipes have been kept on the blog for so long they change slightly over time. If you get confused, go by the original recipe first.

I have included links to the recipe that way. You can easily find them again if you want to make this or that variation.

Each month I will feature a new recipe along with some unique information – from how to measure your ingredients, how much and what kind of equipment you need, and more.

What can I eat on a gluten free sugar free Foods diet?

You can eat all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and nuts on a gluten free sugar free diet. All varieties of fruit are allowed. You can have as much or as little of each type as you like.

 For example, for every apple, banana, or mango you eat, you can have two berries of your choice. If you find avocados too high in fat for you, have a banana instead. If you like Kiwi fruit, but do not like bananas, eat a few more kiwis.

What can you eat on a gluten, dairy, and sugar free diet?

1. Nuts

Nuts are allowed as long as they do not have added sugar or salt and are dry roasted. Nuts must be eaten in their whole form – you can’t eat roasted nuts with a fork.

2. Eggs

Eggs can be eaten scrambled, fried, poached, hard-boiled, etc. They may be eaten with cheese for the protein. Some people like eggs for breakfast on top of a slice of ham. Sometimes eggs, ham, and cheese are called a “Grilled Cheese Sandwich.”

3. Cheese

Most cheeses are allowed as long as they do not contain any sugar or salt and are not gourmet, rigid, or soft to the touch.

4. Milk(including Rice Milk)

Fresh cow’s milk may be the best of all dairy products, especially for babies, but it is a minimal ingredient that adds up quickly if used in any quantity.

It is possible to substitute rice milk which can be used in all recipes that call for cow’s milk. It may be replaced with equal amounts, but you may need to add a little more of the other ingredients when using rice milk.

5. Frozen Fruits

When frozen fruit is thawed, it is best not to eat it immediately – instead, put it in the refrigerator and use it on something hot or cold like a smoothie in about 2 or 3 days.

The best way to freeze it is to place it in a plastic bag. Completely seal the bag, then you won’t have to worry about it getting freezer burn. Plus, it helps keep the fresh fruit longer.

6. Fresh or frozen vegetables

You can have all kinds of vegetables, but be sure to purchase them fresh, not frozen. Avoid canned vegetables and soups high in sodium and preservatives that are toxic to your body.

Are gluten-free products sugar free?

Gluten Free Foods often have a sweet taste or smell to them. You will find that most commercially produced foods contain ingredients that interfere with your body’s ability to digest and absorb the nutrients they have.

Your body cannot recognize these products as food since they contain chemicals that defeat its ability to convert them into energy.

How do you eat a sugar free diet?

You can introduce a few simple items every day, or you can do what we did and create your menu plan to fit your needs.

Never believe everything you read on the nutrition labels at the grocery store. If a title says sugar-free, that doesn’t mean it’s sugar-free. The less sugar you eat, the better. That doesn’t mean that fat and gluten-free foods don’t have sugar. They do – sometimes just not as much as everyday foods.

What can I eat on a week one gluten-free diet?

A 7-day gluten-free diet will help you determine whether you have celiac disease, a condition that prevents your body from absorbing nutrients.

This diet is also an effective treatment for those diagnosed with this condition. It helps you repair your digestive system by eliminating gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley.

As you eliminate gluten foods, your body becomes more sensitive to other harmful foods. Suppose you are considering following this diet for weight loss purposes and are not a celiac patient.

In that case, you must eat plenty of other nutritious foods because of the increased caloric intake related to the weight loss.

Bottom Line

Gluten-free food is as varied as taste buds. There is a wide range of products available, which means that it is possible to choose foods when preparing your gluten-free recipes.

Many gluten-free food manufacturers produce a wide variety of products. Be sure to check the labels so that you do not accidentally use an ingredient containing gluten.
