Wheat Belly (Revised and Expanded Edition): Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health

This book was well packaged and protected. Several recipes in there are really good. The bread recipe to be honest I use it as a batter to fry my fish or which ever seafood I want to fry. To me it turns out well enough for me to enjoy eating. I need to really sit down and read this book. But I enjoy it. Thank you. I am happy to have bought this book to be truthful, because I like to skip around and read a few bit of this info or that. It really is a great book I enjoy it. Glad and happy with my purchase. Thank you again.

I loved this book! It changed my family & I lives future forever! We go through life watching our loved ones age in most cases, poorly or miserably along with suffering for years before it comes to an end. THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Starting in my late thirties until my mid-50s my health continued to decline until I was thoroughly miserable. Then someone told me about Dr Davis. I went into action and purchased his previous wheat belly book, read & followed what he said to do. I was so tired of being sick and tired. I noticed his truths were resonating with me, therefore I did not need to be convinced, I was ready!

I immediately started having relief. after just three days I could breathe through my nose at night without taking medication. All of my joint pains started to subside and then were completely gone within a month. My sleep apnea went away along with my high blood pressure and prediabetes. The mount of strength and energy I gained was incredible! I did have one side effect that was losing 80 lb with no effort. Two years in I had another general doctor visit and she could not believe my blood work. She said my blood work was that of a healthy 20 year old and my blood pressure was that of a teenager, I was 57 years old then today I'm 59. Now I can work all day and sleep all night, it's incredible. Just imagine following these steps and sticking with it can eliminate type 2 diabetes and no longer a need for insulin. Just imagine so many other chronic illnesses we have that will go away.

Today I have been living the Wheat Belly lifestyle for almost four years.

I'm also a member of Dr Davis's private Facebook group called Wheat Belly 10-day Grain detox group. You will see me there under the name Keoni Butcher. When I first started out I really needed this group for the support to get me through the beginning, however now, I'm on autopilot and I'm going to age with dignity instead of suffering.

If you should happen to read his books, don't try it, do it!

This book was recommend by my ENT Dr. I have been suffering from many issues, but saw him for horribble rashes around my eyes and on top of my eyelids. Ithcing, flacking, stinging, 15-18 days out of the month. He recommend that i stop eating wheat (all forms) glutten, rice, corn, sugar, cereal, potaoes and sugar, and no artificial sweetner. He then recommended this book, which was 1 of 7. Tons of information, and the harmful effects wheat has on the body and why. This book has helped educate me on the effects of wheat from bloating and gas to cancer. Was a huge eye opener for me. This book will help me as move forward in my new gluten free wheat free life.

When I was in grade school, early to late 1960s, no one had allergies. We were force fed peanut butter, and butter at school. NO allergy tables in the cafeteria! None of my classmates, or teachers, were fat. I only ever heard of 1 person with diabetes, a blind older man. Fast forward 50-60 years, and look at us now. What happened? I couldn't figure it out. Did they all die before entering school back then? Well, after reading this book, I now know. Thank you, Dr. William Davis!!

At first reading, you think you're ON to something that is feasible: giving up wheat. And this would involve turning to whole brown rice, millet, etc. As the book wears on, you glean that what he calls "wheat" is REALLY ALL grains, and that you need to exist on vegetables and protein. He's a trickster. He's totally anti ALL grains, which makes the whole premise of giving up wheat non-tenable, because he really wants you to give up ALL grains, which is nigh onto impossible for most human beings, and probably not even more healthful. The REAL enemy is the ricocheting between glucose and insulin overloading, and what it does to our sugar metabolism. Why he goes so overboard on telling us we need to give up ALL grains, I truly do not understand; it undermines his whole anti-wheat premise because it turns out that that premise is NOT what he is REALLY telling us to do, which is give up ALL grains, or else!! Browse this book at your library, etc., but don't expect it to inspire you to go totally grain-free. At least, it did NOT do that for me. It just made me angry that this author's TRUE thesis was hidden until mid-book, when he reveals that he's telling the reader to go completely grain-free, which is basically, impossible.

Dr. Davis' book is worth a read and dispenses some good advice to those of us who were looking to change our diets for the better. Anyone can go online and find there is all kinds of commentary on every aspect of every claim he makes in this book so no need to go into it here. Unless you prepare and cook absolutely everything that will enter your mouth from it's very essence to your tongue, this diet is pretty impracticable to follow strictly. So impracticable to the point that unless you want to pay to eat just plain lettuce you can say goodbye to eating out. These things having been said, reading this gave me a lot of information to factor in to what I eat, especially just how profoundly additives and preservatives in both highly processed and even not so highly processed foods can wreak havoc on the human body. There are also some inconsistencies with the 'never eat' or 'eat sometimes' foods (like 'never' for bananas or apples but some recipies have....bananas and apples in them). Before reading this book my diet was craptacular. I followed the diet strictly for 14 days and lost 7lbs (although a lot of this can be attributed to losing bloat, etc). But no doubt about it, I look and felt much, much better all the way down the line. Friends and family noticed. 3 months in I adhere to a lot of the principles he lays out in this book especially regarding junk food, sugar and carbs. Contrary to his recommendations I do eat legumes, occasional potatoes, probiotic yogurt and other nutrition powerhouse foods he says to avoid so you don't spike your blood sugar. Well, and the occasional cheeseburger (I'm only human after all) but generally avoid all bread and grains and added wheat. I don't miss them in my diet and have no cravings at all for them. I also carefully read labels for everything. I am down 14lbs during this time and lose about 1/2lb a week with no calorie restrictions or counting calories, macros or any of that stuff. And I just feel better. I'd recommend this book as a guide rather than a bible unless you have serious issues with gluten in which case this information could be a godsend.
