Gary’s Wheat Belly journey
Gary, founder of Wheat-Free Market, shared his 8-year update living the Wheat Belly lifestyle.
“The passing of Labor Day weekend marked 8 years since I began my grain-free journey to weight loss and better health. In these years I haven’t had a single bite of bread, pasta, pizza, or cake, unless they were made with the ingredients we have come to love as alternatives to cereal grains. The profound changes in me resulting from this simple dietary change are what drove me to create Wheat-Free Market Foods, so I could offer others not only food products but recipes to support this lifestyle.
“I cringe when I see pictures of the ‘old’ me, a jovial guy full of self-deprecating humor, i.e. ‘fat jokes,’ poking fun at himself before others could have a chance to do so. I was the good-humored chubby suburban dad, heading towards diabetes, heart disease, and a life sentence of medication. But then I lost some 75 pounds in the first 4-6 months after following the recommendations of Wheat Belly.
“I admit I began this journey for weight loss, but I soon learned it would prove to be much for profound than that. The other things I experienced would be the real drivers of why I chose to stay the course for all of these years.
“One of the most remarkable things is that I have only had the common cold for two days in these eight years, when I used to get at least three whopping colds per year that would each last 7-10 days. I used to be a ‘mouth breather’ as my sinuses always seemed to be perpetually clogged. Now I breathe freely through my nose. It is also reported that I rarely snore anymore! Come to think of it I haven’t had the flu either.
“I no longer have bouts of insomnia, and I sleep so much better such that I sleep less on the whole, and get up earlier and feel much more productive.
“Afternoon brain fog seems to be a thing of the past, and I am no longer tired and drowsy in the evenings after a day at work.
“Oh, headaches! I used to get a good 3-4 headaches per week. A bottle of Tylenol, just like post-it-notes and pens, were a regular item on my work desk. I don’t know if I have had even 10 Tylenol tablets in total during these years!
“Digestion… that’s a biggie. I can eat a lot of food on occasion, without the bloat and discomfort. I can just be full. I have to imagine that I suffered from IBS, not realizing there was even an issue until it was gone.
“Skin rashes and itchy spots… gone. No more heat rash during hot summer months either.
“Here’s a weird one: nail biting. This is really out there, but whatever desire I had to bite my fingernails is just no longer present.
“Lower back and leg pain are gone. I don’t know if this is dietary or related to weight loss–but it is a thing of the past.
“Occasionally my gums would bleed from brushing. Gone. Never now.
“Appetite. This was one of the things I noticed the soonest back in 2011 when I started. I used to be the guy at work asking about lunch plans as soon as 11am. Now I regularly skip meals without even noticing. I am no longer tied to thinking about food and when my next meal will be. This is so liberating! I still love and enjoy food, but it just has a new meaning for me in my life.
“As to medical markers, my blood pressure and heart rate are perfect. HDL cholesterol is up and triglycerides are down. Fasting blood sugar is fantastic.
“So when people ask, ‘How do you do it?’ I think ‘How could I not do this?’ I definitely don’t want to bring that list of ailments above back into my life. No way!
“I hope your grain-free journey has or will be as profound as mine!”

Our goal: to help you succeed in turning around your life and health and achieve all your health goals including weight loss, getting off prescription medications, and turning back the clock 10 or 20 years.
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 September 18th, 12 pm EDT/11 am CDT/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...
You will also be given free access to the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox Suggestic smartphone app for the first 7 days of the Detox!
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 the evening of 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.)
