There ’ s more to health than diet!
It’s great that more and more people are exploring the advantages of ketogenic, paleo, low-carb, Wheat Belly and other diets, since “official” source of dietary advice got it all so wrong. Choosing the right diet can be a great start to restoring slenderness and health.

And the results you can obtain are dramatically SUPERIOR to the “health” that you obtain f...

Let ’ s Make American Thin Again
No, no political commentary here, just insights into health regardless of whether you are conservative or liberal or somewhere in-between.
But we are indeed doing it on the Wheat Belly and Undoctored lifestyles: Making America Thin Again—MATA—and getting people to lose weight, often considerable amounts of 30, 50, 70, 130 pounds, by essentially REJECTING conventional dietary advice.
What conventional pieces of dietary advice are we rejecting in order to achieve this? Here are a few:

Susanne: Not gluten-free, not ketogenic . . . but hugely successful in health and weight loss
Susanne learned her weight and health lessons the hard way, making many common mistakes . . . until she finally found the Wheat Belly lifestyle for restoration of magnificent health and slenderness:
“I started Wheat Belly in September of 2017. I figured I’d give it a try to see if it would work for me. I had just looked into the Keto diet but hated the fact that you had to count micros and calories. It was the one thing that always discouraged me from starting a diet. Wheat Belly sounded like something I could stick with. After all, watching your carbs and eliminating grains and sugar seemed easy enough.
“Pr...

A trip down Wheat Belly memory lane
Here’s a brief trip down Wheat Belly memory lane.
The Wheat Belly book and message rocked the nutritional world—and it has never recovered. Dietitians sobbed into their bran cereal, the grain industry tried to smear the author, media tried to get their arms around this unconventional message.
But it worked. We now have millions of people who have lost weight, reversed hundreds of health conditions, and even turned the clock back on aging.

Ten reasons to NEVER eat gluten-free processed foods
.
It saddens me: As popular as the Wheat Belly books and lifestyle have been, there are still millions of people who say things like “Oh, that Wheat Belly thing is just about being gluten-free.” They couldn’t be more wrong and have clearly not read any of the books.
Yes, you can be gluten-free and consume foods that naturally have no gluten, gliadin, wheat germ agglutinin, amylopectin A, phytates, and the rest of the toxic components contained in wheat and related grains. You can eat apples, bacon, eggs, and salmon that are naturally gluten-free. You can drink water or tea that is gluten-free. No problems...

Cream of mushroom soup with chives
Here’s a Wheat Belly favorite from the Wheat Belly 30-Minute Cookbook, perfect to warm you up during these below-zero days we’re experiencing.
This thick and creamy mushrooms soup makes a filling meal by itself or a substantial accompaniment to pork, chicken, or beef dishes. As written, this recipe is dairy-free. If dairy avoidance is not an issue for you, the olive oil can be substituted with butter, coconut milk substituted with cream, half-and-half, or whole milk. Regardless, using higher-fat coconut milk or dairy is the way we like it around here: full of healthy fats.

The Value of a Relapse
Utter the seven-letter word relapse in recovery circles and the room grows silent. Why did it happen? How did it happen? How much sobriety did she have? How long did she stay out? If a person had years of sobriety accrued, it is expected that the clock be reset – as if they had never stopped drinking. Call me a rebel, but this is too black and white for my taste. While I realize the need to recognize and commemorate consecutive days of sobriety, recovery from addiction is rarely straightforward or neat. More often than not, it’s a messy, ongoing journey of learning and coping and healing that includes its share of fall...

Hi everybody, Doctor William Davis here. I call this video “cracker bowel”, because wheat and grains are a collection of very potent bowel toxins. You know, it’s ironic is...

Bagel Brain: What Wheat and Grains Do to the Brain
You know that raisin bagel or bowl of bran cereal you have every morning, or the plate of pasta or spaghetti you have for dinner? Each and every serving erodes the health of your brain. Some of the effects are reversible, while others are cumulative and irreversible.

Wheat Belly: Faces tell the story
Looking back through the many before/after success photos posted here over the years on the Wheat Belly Blog and the Wheat Belly Facebook page, you can’t help but be stunned by the dramatic contrasts in facial appearance that develop with removal of the inflammation provoked by wheat and grains.
Ann is the photo at the top. While she described substantial health benefits, you can tell that a lot of changes have occurred just from her photograph.

Post-hospital syndrome: Tips to keep yourself or a loved one healthy after hospitalization
If you or a loved one have ever been hospitalized, you know that the primary focus of the hospital team is on diagnosing and treating the condition that put you in the hospital in the first place. The medical team works to treat a patient’s condition until the patient has improved enough to continue treatment and recovery out of the hospital.
But recent findings have brought attention to an important issue that doesn’t strike until after you’ve left the hospital — post-hospital syndrome.
What is post-hospital syndrome?
Post-hospital syndrome can be defined as a period of vulnerability lasting up to seven weeks afte...

BLT Avocado Sandwich with Aleppo Pepper Spread
If you like BLT sandwiches, you’ll love this variation that includes sliced avocado and a tasty Aleppo Pepper Spread.
I got my inspiration for the Aleppo Pepper Spread from a recipe provided by Penzey’s, a regional spice and herb retailer in Wisconsin and Michigan, that I tweaked a bit, including adding a bit of sriracha for some extra pizzazz. The Aleppo pepper adds sun-dried tomato-like layers of flavor to dried pepper. You will likely have to source it from a spice shop. Alternatively, if you cannot locate the Aleppo pepper, use standard ground black pepper and a dash of cayenne pepper instead.
As written, t...

Wheat Belly and Autoimmune Diseases
The Wheat Belly lifestyle begins with elimination of the worst and most dominant of all grains in the diet, semi-dwarf wheat products, followed by elimination of its closely-related brethren in other grains. This alone is a powerful start in reversing the 200-some diseases of autoimmunity.
We now know that the gliadin protein of wheat and related proteins in other grains trigger increased intestinal permeability that initiates the process, as highly inflammatory compounds, such as lipopolysaccharide from bacterial cell walls, are permitted entry into the body. We also know that gliadin itself gains entry into the bloodstr...
