“Wheat Belly Diet: Is It The #1 Diet?” I’m thinking it could be and although I don’t have this book just yet – it will be on the way by days end. BECAUSE in spite of Kevin and I being the only 2 health nuts in the family – we are the unhealthiest and that’s not because healthy diets don’t work – it’s because we’re not on the right ONE.
Wheat Belly Diet: Wheat And Grains MAKE You Unhealthy
Wheat and grains cause bloating, just like dairy, sugar and white flour foods do – And I know how bad I feel after we’ve had a really good country meal. It isn’t like in the old days where you’d feel full and satisfied. It’s a bad feeling now.
They’re doing things to our foods that we don’t understand the health hazards OF and it’s killing us!
Wheat Belly Diet Book: A Testimonial You Will LOVE
Below is an excerpt from a review of the diet that I found on amazon when I went to check out the Wheat Belly book. And I just couldn’t believe it when I saw all the thousands of reviews favoring this diet and the health benefits people were gaining from it.
But still it’s so confusing to me and all I know for sure is that the one we’re on isn’t doing us a lot of good.
Read this portion of a testimonial and then if you’re interested … go to amazon and read others. The testimonials are absolutely amazing.
“I read this book in March. At the time, I had already kicked my sugar addiction and replaced it with Lakanto (way better and tastier than Truvia!!) I had eradicated High Fructose Corn Syrup from my diet as well. And I was a pescatarian. (no meat/only fish). I had not lost a single pound. I weighed 137 lbs on day one of the Wheat Belly Diet. I went cold turkey off the wheat, focusing on veggies, fish, nuts, eggs, cheese, dairy, other grains besides wheat, and small amounts of fruit, rice, corn, and potatoes. I learned to eat whole foods, and stayed away from anything in a box, can or package. And I was careful to not go crazy with portion sizes on things like starches. The first few days were difficult, as I felt I was constantly racking my brain as to what I could eat. I utilized the Lose It! app on my Android to track my meals and calories. After the first couple of days, something amazing began to happen. I BEGAN TO LOSE WEIGHT! My fat little belly roll became less and less dense. And flatter and flatter. And even more amazingly, I LOST MY CRAVINGS. This is the absolute miracle of this diet. Once you are off wheat, you do not crave the wheat. I am now down to 123 lbs, and am completely stoked and sold on this lifestyle. I never want to eat wheat again!! There are too many good foods out there and lots of options for substituting. I have had extremely tasty gluten free pizzas, and made gluten free Coconut Shrimp, and even Gluten free cakes and cookies! *I substitute the Lakanto for the sugar. I have shared this incredible find with many of my patients at the hospital with many who are obese, have diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, etc. I feel terrific and most importantly, I do not feel deprived in any way whatsoever. I love how my clothes fit me now, and love the flat belly and no-more-muffin-top look. My husband is super-stoked, and my adult kids are impressed. (because they know how long I have tried to get this weight off!)”
Well now … wasn’t that an inspirational review? Except for that artificial sweetener … I just don’t recommend any artificial sweeteners and I don’t care what any of you say 🙂
