All Wheat Belly books by Dr. William Davis, M.D. (cardiologist) are wonderful. I had been on "diets" for over 40 years trying to lose weight. I'd lose a little, but then the diet would go by the wayside as I went back to the foods that I was addicted to, and I would gain back all that I had lost (never more than about 10 - 25 pounds) and then I'd gain ever more! At 250 pounds, I ordered his first book (WHEAT BELLY-LOSE THE WHEAT, LOSE THE WEIGHT) in 2011. I have stuck to this lifestyle of eating ever since and am 80 pounds lighter and so much healthier now at 72 years of age than I was even in my 50's! I didn't really need this book, as I have been strictly following this lifestyle of eating for nearly 5 years and had no need to detox, but I do like to be able to help others. I have ALL of Dr. Davis's books and am a regular on his Facebook page.

Just one word of warning!! Beware of books and Facebook pages that are trying to ride on his coattails. There are many who are infringing on his copyrights. Just make sure that what you buy or read is by him!

This diet works really well, and the 10-day detox is a great way to start. I would certainly recommend buying of all Dr. Davis' books and cookbooks. However, for your own safety please talk to your primary care physician first. And if you are a diabetic, consult with your endocrinologist as well. Most of the meals are limited to about 15 grams of net carbs (total carb grams minus fiber grams),. This applies to both types of diabetes. You may need to add more fruit to your diet after you finish the detox period.

Also, if you have religious-based dietary restriction, you may need to modify the recipes accordingly.

We began our detox 41 days ago, after our doctors approved. Where I used to way 200-210 before the diet, I have lost about 20 lbs and now weigh about 180 pounds, my weight in high school. I am learning to cook better meals for my wife and myself, and while the grains are gone, we still get meat, eggs, dairy, veggies, nuts and seeds. IT WORKS!

Great information. I feel so much better since changing my eating habits and eliminating wheat from my diet. The arthritis in my knee has prevented me from doing outside chores and even walking some days. Now that I have changed my eating habits, the inflammation in my knee has decreased significantly and I am once again working outside almost pain free. I can follow these principles forever if it means living a fuller life. I wish the assortment of medical specialists that I have spent thousands of dollars visiting would have shared this information with me instead of recommending medication, which I no longer need, except on a rare occasion. It has helped me learn to heal my own body in a healthy and sustainable manner. This is a life changer for me.

I am a fan of the original work, so when this came out, I thought I'd try it. I think the recipes are really quite good overall. Ok, a bit of an adjustment from what one might normally make....but not difficult and really quite tasty. I will say, the portions are way too big unless you're a family all eating it...so think about the volume that will come out of each one and think about halving or even quartering the recipes and/or having serious leftovers! I lost a few pounds and then found myself in a carb craving late in the evening and it was all over! LOL Even so, I still love many of the smoothie recipes, the magnesium water is brilliant, and introduction to things like zoodles! Definitely recommended!

My husband and I read this book but I tried what he says to do in the book. I wasn't losing weight from his other books and recipes, I felt better but this book was supposed to help with the folks who don't lose the weight.. I give this a 2 star really, once I read it and tried it I haven't looked at the book due to zero results. Maybe you'll have better results.

While this book has lots of research and good nutrition information, I found it to be rather restrictive. It sounds as if you must eat this way forever or you will regain any weight you lost. And, if you slip up, you must restart the program.

I have tried some of the recipes and they were actually quite good. Of course, I only tried the ones that sounded appealing to me; some didn't.

This program might work well for those who are truly committed to eliminating all wheat from their diets and disciplined enough to follow this regiment. I am not.
