How to reduce triglycerides
High triglycerides are a common finding on standard cholesterol panels and signifies higher risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, stroke, and fatty liver. While much of the information on a standard cholesterol panel is virtually useless garbage, the triglyceride value is indeed useful, as it represents an accurate gauge of VLDL particles that underlie heart disease risk.
Here are natural and easy ways to drop triglycerides (and thereby VLDL particles) from even high levels of 350, 500, 700 mg/dl or more to 60 mg/dl or less, a value associated with magnificent health and marked reduction of risk for...

The Wheat Belly Dietary One-Way Street
Those of us who are wheat/grain-free living the Wheat Belly lifestyle typically become ill when we are re-exposed to wheat or grains, intentionally or inadvertently. So we avoid any re-exposures. We therefore recreate foods such as pizza, muffins, and cookies using benign, healthy ingredients. Interestingly, you can serve the foods made with these benign, healthy ingredients to people who continue to consume wheat and grains, but you cannot eat their food without getting sick.
Therein lies a very important dietary lesson.

Are you a cow?
The grazing ruminants of the earth are able to obtain virtually all their nutrition from consuming grasses and forage. They harbor specific anatomic and physiologic adaptations developed over millions of years to do so.
Humans have no such adaptations but are advised by all “official” sources of dietary advice to make grains–the seeds of grasses–the cornerstone of the diet. It means that there are numerous indigestible or only partially digestible proteins in wheat and grains that explain why autoimmune diseases, gastrointestinal disruption, and other health conditions are so commonly caused by whe...

“ Am I too skinny? ”
Because my Wheat Belly and Undoctored programs are so successful at helping people lose weight, I get this question regularly.
First of all, are you really too skinny, or are you comparing yourself to modern overweight people? You might just be normal. Second, we NEVER limit calories or fat. Third, consider taking steps to rebuild lost muscle.

Measles, tuberculosis, and wheat
Humans have made many dietary mistakes over the years but two mistakes, in particular, stand out: close contact with animals, mostly ruminants, who conveyed their diseases to us and the adoption of the seeds of grasses as human food. These two practices not only changed the course of human history but also human disease.
Over the last several centuries, Westerners have populated North America, South America, Pacific islands and other regions. Equipped with superior tools of warfare such as swords and muskets, contact with Westerners decimated indigenous people such as the millions of native Americans, Aztecs, and Amazonian...

Recognize the two different classes of nutritional supplements
It helps to understand that there are two basic categories of nutritional supplements:
1) Supplements that meet intrinsic genetically-determined needs
2) Supplements whose need is not coded into our genetics
This important distinction will help you understand how and why the Undoctored program was constructed and also make you smarter about health.

Ten reasons to never eat wheat
How can conventional dietary advice gotten it so wrong?
Rather than eating plenty of “healthy whole grains,” people on the Wheat Belly lifestyle eat absolutely no grains and enjoy spectacular weight loss and reversal of hundreds of health conditions as a result. Unfortunately, many people view this as a “gluten-free” lifestyle which is incorrect.
Here are 10 reasons why no bagels, pretzels, or sandwiches made from wheat flour should ever cross human lips.
Gliadin-derived opioid peptides (from partial digestion to 4- and 5-amino acid long fragments) increase appetite substantially–as do related pro...

Deja Ewww! Wheat and grain re-exposures
Once you are free of wheat and grains on the Wheat Belly lifestyle, it is important that you avoid re-exposures, as some pretty unpleasant reactions can result.
Most commonly, people experience bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, skin rashes, joint pain, panic, anxiety, depression, as well as a return of any health problems that originally reversed with grain elimination.
Once you are wheat- and grain-free, it is best to remain wheat- and grain-free.

Wheat is sugar
Many people have come to believe that the only problem with wheat is gluten. But there are many other issues with wheat that impair health.
The amylopectin A carbohydrate of wheat is unique in its digestibility, making it worse than table sugar in its capacity to raise blood sugar, cause insulin resistance, and contribute to type 2 diabetes.
This explains why elimination of all foods made of wheat leads to dramatic reductions in blood sugar, insulin resistance, HbA1c, and type 2 diabetes.

Rice: Healthy or toxic?
In the Wheat Belly lifestyle, we avoid all wheat and grains.
But the hazards of grain consumption lie on a spectrum. Products made from modern high-yield semi-dwarf wheat are at the worst end of the spectrum, while rice is at the least harmful end.
But should we interpret this to mean that rice is benign and healthy?
