Let's be real for a moment. Your problems aren't due to wheat, they're due to an excess of calories in your diet, and insufficient exercise. You can look for some magic solution like this and fog your brain over, or you can deal with…

Davis described my lifetime of medical issues exactly, most of which started long ago when I started eating far less meat and far more carbs, particularly wheat. Almost a month with very little wheat in my diet now and doing much better. …

A thought provoking recommendation and discussion on the benefits of giving up all wheat products in one's diet. I'm enjoying eggs for breakfast more than ever.

Interesting book. Very good information. Would have given 5 stars, but doesn't go far enough (it should have also included all grains - including the so-called healthy ancient grains, all legumes - especially soybeans, all fruit, all…

After reading this work I chose to eliminate wheat (in all forms) from my diet. A month later what had been my continuous and constant arthritic pain (particularly at my knees) was gone. I am pain-free for these past six months. And, as a…

I am not convinced that the problems with modern chronic diseases are due to wheat. It is more likely that people's bodies are too fat from eating saturated fats, trans fats and cholesterol and their fat cells and muscles cells and organs…

Rolls eyes- This book is a fad diet description disguised with personal testimonies of healing and micro -studies backing it up. This one thing I took from the book was that we eat too much wheat and processed foods- I think everyone…

Davis writes persuasively for eliminating wheat from our diets, but sometimes it feels overly one-sided, making wheat a constant enemy. I would appreciate more empirical studies that directly support his conclusions, but Davis does cite…

Junk science. The studies Davis quotes do not say the things he claims they say. People in the Middle East, where wheat originated, have been eating it for centuries--and eating the hybridized version Davis complains about--but they are…

Convincing argument for removing the genetically modernized wheat from out diets? yes. Convincing argument for adopting a ketogentic (atkins style) diet? nope! I have listened to a few podcasts with Dr Davis so I am very familiar with…

Time will tell... I've already dropped wheat & most grains from my diet...I do not think it is gluten... but GMOs ...my problems seems to coincidence with the intro. of GMOs[ -around 1995] - & in Europe (where there are fewer GMOs ) - I do…

Yet another food source messed up by science and big business. I found it surprisingly easy to wean myself (actually cold turkey) from wheat. I have been baking my own bread for years and I just thought yikes! It is drugging me into…

There are no more amber waves of grain. The tall amber waves of grain that you picture when you think of wheat no longer exist. In the last fifty years, we have genetically altered wheat so that it is completely different than the wheat…

Tragic but true, wheat contains sulfuric acid, the same acid as the car battery!

Interesting concept. Good healthy eating advice. The book was too long and technical. You have to skim over a lot of long technical information and history about foods and food industry, which is also repetitive, to get to his…

I have been on a carb free diet for years and have not been able to lose any weight, thinking that I was not working the diet right. After 1 week of cutting the wheat, I'm starting to drop in the lbs. 5 in the last week even going to…

This book reads like a third year medical text book. While the subject matter interested me, I found myself glazing over as I read realizing I didn't understand what I was reading. Example of text: "Triglyceride-enriched LDL particles…

In "Wheat Belly," preventive cardiologist William Davis asserts that the elimination of wheat products in one's diet leads to weight loss and improved health. Contrarily, eating wheat results in everything from dermatitis to colitis to…

I found this to be an extremey poor book. Davis is clearly in over his head. In fairness he was trained as a cardiologist not as a nuritional,chemist, neurophsiologist or plant biologist. The book addresses a number of important issues and…

Wheat Belly --- by William Davis, MD. --- The good doctor, a preventative cardiologist writes a convincing book linking wheat and a whole raft of disease and disability. Weight gain and obesity; diabetes and prediabetes; celiac…

I am very sceptical about most things yet this book made sense.
