Wheat is not sexy
Here’s another excerpt from my new Revised & Expanded Edition of Wheat Belly, taken from chapter 16, Mr. and Mrs. Wheat Belly:
LOOK DOWN AND YOU SHOULD immediately get an idea of where your sexual preferences lay. Well, at least a rough idea.
The unnatural situation created when humans try to consume the seeds of grasses, packed with disrupters of human hormones, undo some of those anatomical, pre-programmed tendencies. Once again, eating things that should never have made it onto the human dietary menu defies the script written into our genetic codes, expressed as painful menstrual cycles, excessive body hair, ineffective erections, abnormally enlarged breasts, infertility and a long list of other manifestations of hormones gone haywire.
In the modern world, notions of male vs. female, of course, are being redefined by forces as unconnected as surgical sex change, toppling barriers to female work promotion, and exposure of iconic public figures as sexual predators. That’s all fine, but what is written into genetics should not be rewritten, as it provides for hormones, brain structure, hair color, height, whether or not you have freckles.
While there are undoubtedly variations, most men like being men and most women like being women, regardless of partner preference. And this is not about directing sexual preference, but allowing genetic code to express itself in the way it was supposed to and allowing, for instance, men to not have to go through contortions to conceal enlarged breasts or to pursue drugs and devices in the shadows to enjoy normal libido and erections, or women to have effortless menstrual cycles, experience normal fertility, and not have to wear constrictive elastic undergarments to keep the rolls and ripples under wraps.
Do you take this man . . .?
Men and women who follow the Wheat Belly lifestyle undergo important and sometimes startling hormonal changes, enough to regain certainty over whether you should wear skirts or watch Nascar.
Not only has national nutritional advice created a nation suffering with weight gain, type 2 diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, and autoimmune diseases, it has also contributed to shifts of hormonal balance, a peculiar and unsettling disruption of the viva la difference that leads to blurred distinctions between the sexes in confusing, infertile, and carcinogenic ways.
The process begins with consumption of wheat, worsened by willy-nilly intake of sugar, expansion of visceral inflammatory fat, then cascades into downstream changes that further disrupt hormonal health. In women with polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, for instance, disruptions of bowel flora increase testosterone that, during pregnancy, not only influence maternal health, but also the health of offspring who are more likely to develop hypertension.1
So much health and behavior hinge on hormonal health. Accordingly, removing factors that lead to such disruptions tilts the scales back in favor of natural hormonal balance. Though results vary with stage of life—young adults, middle-aged, older—there are a variety of hormonal changes that women and men typically experience, some in concert, others independent of the bathroom you choose. Such hormonal shifts can be powerful and part of the health-restoring menu of changes that develop with this lifestyle. Get it right and numerous aspects of maleness and femaleness return to their natural state, much like bras were meant for women and jockstraps for men. Men, for instance, regain control over libido and erections while B-cup breasts recede. Women gain better control over menstrual excesses (excessive cramps, bleeding, and emotional swings) and overly-testosteronized body features such as facial hair and acne. The shifts in hormonal balance that develop on this lifestyle can improve relationships in a number of ways, both physically and emotionally, regardless of sexual preference.
Unfortunately—though predictably—some of these hormonal disruptions have prompted Big Pharma to step in and advocate such things as prescription testosterone for “low T” and the female counterpart to Viagra, flibanserin (Addyi), when much of the original source of the problem can be found in your cinnamon toast or onion bagel, buttered or with cream cheese.

Why the Detox Challenge?
Through my New York Times bestseller, Wheat Belly, millions of people learned how to reverse years of chronic health problems by removing wheat from their daily diets. But, after reading the original Wheat Belly or the Wheat Belly Total Health book, or even using the recipes from the Wheat Belly Cookbook and Wheat Belly 30-Minute Cookbook, people still said: “I’ve read the books, but I’m still not sure how to get started on this lifestyle.”
That’s why I wrote the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox and now help readers along in this Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox CHALLENGE. This is the quickest, most assured way to get started on regaining magnificent health and slenderness by adopting the Wheat Belly lifestyle.
We are kicking off the next Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox Challenge on Facebook LIVE on Day 1: Wednesday, March 18th, 12 pm EST/11 am CST/10 am MT/9 am PT. Come join us on the private Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/52751...
The Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox supplies you with carefully designed meal plans and delicious recipes to fully eliminate wheat and related grains in the shortest time possible. Perfect for those who may have fallen off the wagon or for newcomers who need a jump-start for weight loss, this new addition to the Wheat Belly phenomenon guides you through the complete 10-Day Detox experience. And we will kick off this next Challenge with a live Facebook session with Dr. Davis on Day 1!
In addition to this quick-start program, I’ll teach you:
How to recognize and reduce wheat-withdrawal symptoms,
How to avoid common landmines that can sabotage success
How to use nutritional supplements to further advance weight loss and health benefits
How to effectively navigate the grocery store and choose safe products
To join the Detox Challenge:
Step 1
Get the book. And read it (at least the first 5 chapters).
Detox Challenge participants should be informed and active in order to get the most out of the challenge and private Facebook group. READING THE WHEAT BELLY DETOX BOOK IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE. PLEASE DO NOT PARTICIPATE IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK or else the conversations will not make sense and you will not enjoy full benefit. It is a very bad idea to try and piece the program together just from our conversations. (Note that the Wheat Belly Detox program is NOT laid out in the original Wheat Belly book.)

“5 things I wish I knew before I spent a lot of money on a weight loss program!”
You can spend–throw away?–a ton of money buying meal replacement shakes, subscription meal plans, nutritional supplements, prescription drugs, even weight loss surgery.
But understand these 5 basic principles and you can enjoy weight loss rapidly, effortlessly, and inexpensively. It does NOT involve cutting calories, reducing fat, extreme exercise, certainly not drugs or procedures. It applies simple logic and recent science to craft a hugely effective way to lose weight.
1) Cutting calories is useless–Yes, you can lose weight upfront, but the reduction in metabolic rate that develops over time will cause you to regain the weight. This is an effect that can persist for years, eradicating your ambitions to lose weight.
2) Cutting fat and/or calories sets you up to develop gallstones. We now know this from studies in which the gallbladder was visualized with ultrasound over time. People following low-calorie or low-fat diets develop gallstones at a shocking rate.
3) Everything in moderation sets you up to fail because it means that you are still including foods that provoke insulin and stimulate appetite.
4) Gliadin-derived opioid peptides from wheat and related grains keep you hungry, causing you to battle hunger and cravings. Removing them sets you free and puts you back in control of appetite and impulse.
5) Taking steps to reduce insulin allows fat to be mobilized from fat stores. This involves correction of common nutritional deficiencies: vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and iodine, as well as efforts to cultivate healthy bowel flora.
These are strategies that cost little, don’t involve silly prescription drugs, certainly do not involve medical procedures.
