Kirk: From disability to dynamo

Robin shared her husband’s life-altering Wheat Belly experience:

“I wanted to encourage those just starting out and getting through the difficult detox. If you are rethinking your decision, know that you are doing the best thing you could ever do for yourself and your family.

“This is a picture of my husband, Kirk. He is 50 and had plans of having to go on disability this year due to the extreme pain in every joint in his body. Walking was extremely difficult. He works 10 hours a day in lawncare. We thought he had lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Plus he suffered horrible gout attacks that would put him down for days. We ate what we thought was extremely healthy, but now we know that was wrong. He has been on blood pressure medicine, gout meds (x2), reflux medicine 300 mg twice a day, testosterone pills, pain meds and anti inflammatory drugs for 6 years. He would go up the stairs like a 90 year old man. We were in bed at 7 exhausted. He was miserable feeling this way and I was also. He and I both like to be active but our bodies say no.

“The picture on the left was March 2019 and the right is Jan 2020. We started Oct 13 2019 and by day 8 we stayed out of each other’s way. But day ten it turned around. By day 14 some body pain left, energy restored and by day 21 he was completely pain free!!! Praise God! Reflux and gout also gone. He was taken off all meds except bp. But now they are taking him off of those as his blood pressure is perfect.

“He has lost 36 pounds and 5 inches in his waist. Our weight loss slowed during holidays as we had some alcohol but back on track. You can see in the pic on the left it’s a fake grin due to pain, the one in right is the pain free happy man who now runs past me up the stairs!!!

“Don’t give up, everyday is a new and better day. Thank you Dr Davis and April for helping us through this and our Facebook family for all the amazing recipes and stories.”

You can appreciate that, despite access to healthcare and prescription medications, Kirk was no better off, continuing to be plagued with incapacitating pain and health conditions with dire long-term health consequences. I don’t believe that we can overstate the impact that the Wheat Belly lifestyle had on this man and the lives of this couple.

Reviews of the Revised & Expanded Edition of Wheat Belly

 

Amazon reviews of the new Revised & Expanded Edition of Wheat Belly are coming in.

In the original Wheat Belly book, I focused mostly on the history of wheat from Natufian porridge to modern whole wheat bread, the dramatic changes in wheat introduced by geneticists and agribusiness, and the effects it has on modern health. In Wheat Belly Total Health, I outlined a program to undo the harm incurred by wheat consumption and additional steps to take to, for instance, reverse insulin resistance. In Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox, I provided a step-by-step, day-by-day plan to follow the Wheat Belly lifestyle. And, of course, in the Wheat Belly Cookbook and the Wheat Belly 30-Minute (Or Less!) Cookbook, I provided hundreds of recipes to make this lifestyle tastier and more versatile.

And, given the worldwide experience that Wheat Belly has generated, new lessons have been learned along the way, particularly as it relates to hormonal changes, steps to take to make reversing type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure safer, and the microbiome. ALL of this has been incorporated into one book, the Revised & Expanded Edition of Wheat Belly. And here is what some readers had to say about it:

 

Winkman: This can be life changing, as it was for me.

A comprehensive treatment on how to have a healthy body and mind, freedom from many debilitating diseases, and a long “young” life.

The importance of our microbiome can’t be overrated. It is the foundation of our health and to a significant degree our happiness with our life and ourselves.

Giving up wheat has helped me immensely.

My wife and I cut down our wheat consumption after reading the original edition years ago. I have now totally eliminated wheat and significantly reduced other grains. Also am following many of Dr Davis’s other recommendations.

I am a healthy 76 and have not felt better in many years. Thank you, Dr Davis.

 

Donna: Happy to receive my book!

I love Dr. Davis and have been eating this way for years, never felt better, and am happy for the UPDATED/REVISED book, if you are willing to change the way you eat, this is not a ‘diet’, you will never look back!

 

Ed Syed: May become the most rewarding decision of your life.

I have read the old version and it worked 100% word by word for me. My A1C was around 9+ and is now 6.7. Weight got reduced around 8 KGs. Feel energetic like when I was in my 20s. Purchase of this book will be the best means you can spend your money. Buy without hesitation there is nothing for you to lose here. I only see benefits with the knowledge gained.

 

I_Love_Amazon: This Book Is An Eye Opener

I started avoiding gluten before it was a household word. I was never diagnosed with celiac, but I just knew I felt better without it. I found this out by accident when I started low carbing and just avoided gluten by default! All my arthritic symptoms, all my stomach problems and low mood just dissipated within three months. When I went off the diet and started eating wheat again, they all returned. When the first edition of Wheat Belly came out, I remember thinking to myself “ finally, someone really gets it.” I am so thrilled to have the revised version. Folk’s today’s wheat is not the wheat of our ancestors. I honestly now liken it to poison, and for a lot of us, it just is. This book is a gem.

Amazon Prime Customer: Incredible Book!

This is an incredible book and makes you never want to eat bread again! I listened to the Audiobook of the original version of this in 2014 and it was eye-opening, and this book underscores those findings. Next time you’re at the grocery store skip the bread aisle, and when you order your next hamburger order it without the bread! This book is a must-read for anybody who wants to kick the bread habit!

 

Helen G.: Read it

It may save your life.

Ramen Noodles

 

Here’s one of the recipes from the new Revised & Expanded Edition of Wheat Belly, a recipe for a popular, but horribly unhealthy, favorite: Ramen Noodles. I grew up eating ramen noodles several times a week, since my mom was Japanese. While I don’t miss how awful I felt after eating them, I do miss some of the flavors. So here it is, a way to recreate some of those familiar flavors but, of course, with none of the health problems of wheat noodles nor the synthetic chemicals used for flavor.

The new Wheat Belly Revised & Expanded Edition has additional new recipes, more success stories, new concepts, as well as including the complete Wheat Belly program that was previously spread out across several books. The new Wheat Belly Revised & Expanded edition is available from:

Amazon Barnes & Noble

Books-A-Million

Indiebound

Barnes & Noble

 

Ramen Noodles

As written, this recipe yields dry ramen noodles. To convert to soup, just add 2-3 cups broth (homemade, if available). You can also top off the noodles with pieces of cooked chicken, pork, fish, or beef, or some sliced shiitake mushrooms.

Bonito flakes are dehydrated fish, while nori is dried seaweed that usually comes in sheets of the sort sushi is rolled in. Find bonita flakes and nori in Oriental markets, some health food and specialty food stores, and Whole Foods Market.

Makes 2 servings

1/4 cup sesame oil

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

2 packages shirataki noodles

1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos

1 tablespoon dried onion powder

2 teaspoons dried garlic powder

1/2 cup bonita flakes

2 green onions, chopped

Optional: 1 sheet dried nori

Rinse the shirataki noodles, then drain.

In large skillet over medium-high heat, heat sesame oil and sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in noodles, soy/tamari/aminos, onion powder, garlic powder, bonita flakes, green onions and toss using tongs for 2-3 minutes, mixing thoroughly.

Remove from heat and serve topped with nori coarsely broken by hand (unless purchased pre-broken or in shakeable form).

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, January 8th, 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.)
