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

Well written, easy to read. Plenty of practical guidance on how to ditch wheat, and even more importantly, the ingredients that spike blood sugar. A good read for anyone who is curious about the effects of everyday foods on the body.

Excellent book, 100% recommended. If you want to enjoy good health and fully understand how your stomach and body work, you have to read this book.

This is an insightful book. The main idea is to help people get healthy. He explains how the food industry has been making people unhealthy for years and the government was a part of that. He goes into how to change your diet to lose weight and improve your health. He has stories of individuals who have overcome serious health issues by just changing their diets. There are recipes in the book also. You can look the author up on YouTube to get an idea of his views first if you would prefer.

Dr Davis is very knowledgeable about L.Reuteri, different cultures, and the negative effects of wheat on our bodies, but some of the recipes, not all, but some I think an inexperienced cook put them together without trying them first. What you can do is upload the recipe to AI and just ask how you can make this recipe better. The book is good, but I think I could’ve found a lot of the information in other places.

Best book ever, wish I read it years ago. I saw Dr William Davis on YouTube. So interesting! Joined a fermented dairy Facebook. My health is better and I lost 25 lbs.

Lots of information on gluten and its side effects. Another slang term is ‘pretzel brain’ and I was highly addicted to pretzels but didn’t realize it at the time. Main focus of the book is about the weightloss once you ditch gluten. Enjoyed the patient testimonials and the author wrote it in a way that kept me engaged.

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.

Second most impactful health book I’ve ever read (Metabolical being the first) . Truly a game changer, if only America 🇺🇸 .

Livro muito bem suportado cientificamente com uma escrita cativante (li quase de seguida em 3 dias) que é ao mesmo tempo revelador e assustador.

pour retrouver la santé

Dr. Davis has some fantastic resources around. This is an esential read for anyone who is interested in or who has issues with grain. It brings all his previous books under one cover, including historic changes and the modern manipulation of grass seeds that we are told to eat. Read it and make your own mind up.

worth the read I have lost 10kg with no effort

As a extremely sensitive Celiac, this helped me understand how I should eat. Very readable, he is a doctor, but doesn't write with a lot of medical jargon
