I have been reading Dr. Davis’s books and taking his diet advice for about 2 months! I feel so much better and have lost 20 pounds. Buy this book, it will change your life!

Very informative and interesting read. I'm trying some new ideas the book had, hope they work!

this is the answer I was looking for. grains have caused me a lot of issues, but my dr. never contributed to grains. wow! I've finally found the answer to my health issues. I've seen remarkable results.

Absolutely recommend this as "must read" for EVERYone going into a medical field occupation ~ ...and everyone else... ~ adding any other nutrition classes you can to educate yourself about the way our HUMAN bodies are made by almighty GOD to assimilate everything that goes past the lips. I enjoy the science and education this book offers; you have to read it - to receive it. Some folks may think T.M.I. but no such thing. this book will expand your craniums (brain power) and you will finally understand what is meant by "gut health" is key to your healthy body.

I loved this book! It changed my family & I lives future forever!We go through life watching our loved ones age in most cases, poorly or miserably along with suffering for years before it comes to an end. THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!Starting in my late thirties until my mid-50s my health continued to decline until I was thoroughly miserable. Then someone told me about Dr Davis. I went into action and purchased his previous wheat belly book, read & followed what he said to do. I was so tired of being sick and tired. I noticed his truths were resonating with me, therefore I did not need to be convinced, I was ready!I immediately started having relief. after just three days I could breathe through my nose at night without taking medication. All of my joint pains started to subside and then were completely gone within a month. My sleep apnea went away along with my high blood pressure and prediabetes. The mount of strength and energy I gained was incredible!I did have one side effect that was losing 80 lb with no effort.Two years in I had another general doctor visit and she could not believe my blood work. She said my blood work was that of a healthy 20 year old and my blood pressure was that of a teenager, I was 57 years old then today I'm 59. Now I can work all day and sleep all night, it's incredible. Just imagine following these steps and sticking with it can eliminate type 2 diabetes and no longer a need for insulin.Just imagine so many other chronic illnesses we have that will go away.Today I have been living the Wheat Belly lifestyle for almost four years.I'm also a member of Dr Davis's private Facebook group called Wheat Belly 10-day Grain detox group. You will see me there under the name Keoni Butcher. When I first started out I really needed this group for the support to get me through the beginning, however now, I'm on autopilot and I'm going to age with dignity instead of suffering.If you should happen to read his books, don't try it, do it!

Dr. Davis' book is worth a read and dispenses some good advice to those of us who were looking to change our diets for the better. Anyone can go online and find there is all kinds of commentary on every aspect of every claim he makes in this book so no need to go into it here. Unless you prepare and cook absolutely everything that will enter your mouth from it's very essence to your tongue, this diet is pretty impracticable to follow strictly. So impracticable to the point that unless you want to pay to eat just plain lettuce you can say goodbye to eating out. These things having been said, reading this gave me a lot of information to factor in to what I eat, especially just how profoundly additives and preservatives in both highly processed and even not so highly processed foods can wreak havoc on the human body. There are also some inconsistencies with the 'never eat' or 'eat sometimes' foods (like 'never' for bananas or apples but some recipies have....bananas and apples in them). Before reading this book my diet was craptacular. I followed the diet strictly for 14 days and lost 7lbs (although a lot of this can be attributed to losing bloat, etc). But no doubt about it, I look and felt much, much better all the way down the line. Friends and family noticed. 3 months in I adhere to a lot of the principles he lays out in this book especially regarding junk food, sugar and carbs. Contrary to his recommendations I do eat legumes, occasional potatoes, probiotic yogurt and other nutrition powerhouse foods he says to avoid so you don't spike your blood sugar. Well, and the occasional cheeseburger (I'm only human after all) but generally avoid all bread and grains and added wheat. I don't miss them in my diet and have no cravings at all for them. I also carefully read labels for everything. I am down 14lbs during this time and lose about 1/2lb a week with no calorie restrictions or counting calories, macros or any of that stuff. And I just feel better. I'd recommend this book as a guide rather than a bible unless you have serious issues with gluten in which case this information could be a godsend.
