| Is the Wheat Belly Diet just being gluten free?
If so, (speaking for my dad, as he's gluten intolerant) the likes would be he can think more clearly - no fuzzy brain feeling, lost weight, full of energy, happier - pretty much everything improved.
Dislikes would be it's hard to find stuff you can eat in the beginning and somewhat expensive but once you get used to it it's really not so bad. |

Check out any rice pastas or gluten free breads, Udi's brand is the best! |

All those things that you just mentioned are DELICIOUS;however, they are definitely the things that promote BELLY FAT. As I've gotten used to not having those foods over the years and experiencing how awesome I feel when I leave them out of my diet, I've found that not eating them is not only good for the tummy area but the benefits in energy etc. make it much easier to say no to them. When I eat them I get tired, have more body aches and more headaches. |

I agree. GoMistyGo There are some great recipes that are quick and easy that use almond and coconut flour. We truly do not miss Wheat at all, Especially since we feel better with it being out of our lives.

Location: Living in my Promised Land | I have been off wheat (gluten) for almost a year. I have had a few bites here and there and later regretted every one. Now it is just easier to not eat it. I will say that my pain level from inflammation has decreased dramatically. I miss pizza and home made bread, but not enough to eat them. |

Different types of wheat go towards different food products it's produced for, pastas verses bread....

I should read it. I wonder if the Oklahoma wheat farmers have seen a decline in the need for their product with these types of diets becoming so popular?. ....well wheat farmers in general. I figure there are probably some wheat farmers on BHW too. I wonder if some wheat farmers don't eat wheat products? Like are there any vegetarians who have a cattle ranch or a tobacco farmer who is against smoking. LOL
I do know of cattle producers who are vegetarians.....
I don't see a declining need for wheat being grown, I know in Canada a lot of our wheat goes outside of the country, so say if China's buying that's a lot of people to feed....... |

There is no GMO wheat being grown for commercial production. They have done field trials but it's not FDA approved so you can't go out and buy the seed. Modern wheat is different but it got like that the old fashioned way.
I do grow wheat. The market is down but so are all commodities. It has more todo with increased supply for the moment rather than decreased demand. |

yes, you do and once you get it out of your system and try to eat it it tastes YUCKY!!! Soda to me is like trying to eat 2 packets of sugar at one time, and I tried to have a piece of cake at a party this weekend. Not happening...it was gross, not to mention 20 minutes after eating 4 bites of cake my face was flushing and I was dizzy.
The benefits? Not only like the others mentioned...but I have lost 7 lbs of STOMACH weight after doing this diet since January 1, where for me, even if I was a size 3 and counted calories and worked out a lot I still had a fatter stomach and love handles and the rest of me was slender. So it's SOOOO worth it! i say GO FOR IT!

lol three, I am sure it was disliked because most people want to believe that every conventional way of farming is now "contaminized" by GMO's. Knowing facts about agriculture apparently is something people don't want to recognie anymore. Just the big bad corporate farmers doing bad things.
Sorry-off my soapbox...ok one more. Go three and farming wheat!!!!! :)
And now for how I view this. I don't drink soda. Most days of the week I am eating mostly veggies, now some sort of fish (for added energy), and a good protein. Bacon usually counters my carb craving for breads. I have done 2 months straight of no wheat type products. My body still craved them like a big dog. And I LOVE sweets. That is who I am.
So I don't deprive myself of them. I am going to a wine conference this weekend. Am I going to eat stuff with wheat in it? heck yes I will!!! Will I eat chocolate? Probably more than I should. Am I going to feel guilty? Nope! And my body won't feel worse for the wear.
I exercise everyday and I am out with the horses everyday. I eat clean for most of my week. My body fat is the lowest it has been and maybe lower than when I played competitive sports. I weight less than when I played competitive sports. I sleep great and I feel good. My stomach is fine.

Three that statistic on China wheat made me laugh. It isn't funny but for some reason it made me laugh. Maybe it is because I can't get into my systems this morning and so I am twittling my thumbs and am getting frustrated because I have work to do! Namely, finishing that stupid presentation for the conference this weekend! |
