Is it is cos I’m going gluten free? Lost 6.7 kilograms since 8 August. So 3 months. Granted it’s going down slow but I’m concerned a bit

Both Stress and depression can cause weight loss or even weight gain.
It depends.

I struggled to lose weight for years and all a sudden it started to fall off when I went gluten free (or attempting to go gluten free). But at the same time was under a huge amount of stress.

I don’t know too much about gluten free diets but the weight loss could be because of this.
Not sure.

Affects people differently. For me, when I get really stressed I eat to feel better. Stress makes me gain weight.

It definitely affects different people differently. I also eat more when I get stressed/anxious to try and self soothe.
If you were previously eating a lot of carbs and baked goods, and now you’ve cut out all of that because of the gluten - that would definitely cause weight loss.
