This Gluten Free Diet Plan for Beginners (PDF) is all you need to get started when you go gluten-free.
Because when you’re just getting started with going gluten-free, it’s super helpful to a guide of what to eat and how much to eat.
That’s exactly what this gluten-free diet plan is for😄
Grab this gluten-free meal plan for beginners now and after you take a look at it, you may have some of these questions:
I don’t like X (insert any food on the plan that’s not your favourite.) Can I choose something else?
Absolutely! The meal plan may be a wheat free meal plan but it can still be customized to fit the foods that you love eating!
If you see a food you don’t like, is out of season, or just unavailable where you live, you can swap it out.
Here’s how to make food-swaps on the plan:
- Choosing a food in the same group (Grains/Starches; Fruit; Dairy or Protein) and,
- Choosing the same serving size
This will help the total calories and the balance of carbs, fat and protein stay within a range that’s healthy and makes sure you get the right amount of carbs.

I gotta lose some weight when I go gluten-free. Will I lose weight on this gluten-free meal plan?
Whether or not you’ll lose weight on this gluten-free meal plan for beginners will depend on a few things, like:
- What and how much you’re eating now
- How closely you can stick to the plan
- Your weight loss and/or gain history
Although there are no guarantees, I can promise you this: a gluten-free meal plan like this one will help you be healthier. And if you’re interested in making lifestyle changes (instead of doing a “diet”), then this meal plan will get you off to a great start✅
Am I going to have to make all these special meals now? I need an EASY gluten-free meal plan
Then you are in the right place, my friend😄 Easy is the name of the game here! This really is a simple, wheat free meal plan that will show you just how easy healthy and gluten-free eating can be.
It’s what I followed when I first started my gluten-free lifestyle and I still follow this pattern to this day.
Where’s the “treats”?! and/or alcohol on the plan? I don’t see things like that included
Yeah, good point. While it’s true that there aren’t any traditional desserts, treats or alcohol built into the plan, I know that’s not really what happens in real life. Hello, ice cream and Chianti happen🍦🍷
So the point isn’t that you follow this plan TO THE LETTER (unless that’s your thing – go for it!) but you can use it to guide your meals and food choices within the context of your life.
If Ice Cream Fridays are a tradition in your household in the summer and you cherish this time with your family and you absolutely LOVE the ice cream that your local place serves, then go for it!
(I mean, let’s not forget one of the most important points: you’re an adult! So you get to eat what you want😄)
And if Wino Wednesdays with your girlfriends is something you look forward to every week and it’s a source of JOY in your life, then keep it up.
You don’t wanna suck out the fun and enjoyment out of your life (gosh, that sounds terrible), you want to LIVE life and, if you’re like me, be the healthiest human possible while you’re doing all your living!
This meal plan (PDF download) is not JOY-free, just gluten-free😉
