Matt Damon Says Gluten-Free Diet Helped Him Lose Weight for ‘The Odyssey’

**Weight Loss and Gluten-Free Diets**

Actor Matt Damon has credited a gluten-free diet with helping him lose weight for his role in director Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film “The Odyssey.” However, experts say that while a gluten-free diet may have helped Damon achieve his goals, it is not necessarily the best choice for everyone.

In an interview on the “New Heights” podcast, Damon revealed how he got in shape and shed pounds for his new movie. He credited cutting gluten from his diet as one of the key factors in his weight loss journey. However, a registered dietitian notes that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that a gluten-free diet leads to weight loss.

Gluten is a protein found in various grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. While some individuals need to exclude gluten from their diet due to Celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, others may choose to follow a gluten-free diet for weight loss purposes. However, experts warn that eliminating gluten can lead to nutrient deficiencies and increased costs.

“Unless you have celiac disease or a non-celiac gluten sensitivity, I don’t recommend following a gluten-free diet,” says Shelley Balls, a registered dietitian and nutritionist. “You will be eliminating potentially healthful foods, spending more money on gluten-free foods, and sacrificing enjoyment of food.”

While a gluten-free diet may not be the best choice for everyone, experts agree that a balanced diet including whole grains is still the most effective way to achieve weight loss. If you are considering making changes to your diet, consult with a registered dietitian or healthcare professional to determine the best approach for your individual needs.
