An astounding chronicle of a Wheat Belly transformation
Ann began messaging me back in October, 2014, when she told me that she was on a waiting list for gastric bypass. Ann’s chronicle covers the full range of the ways wheat can destroy health and the ways health is restored by removing it. She also learned that there is no such thing as a wheat or grain “indulgence.” October 25, 2014 “Thank you for ending my years of pain and suffering and countless pills. I was ready to give up because I couldn’t take the pain anymore. After only a few days, I felt so much better and now after only a couple of months I am a new person. I went for a ride in my ...

Amazing what food can do to or for you. “I had been told there was no cure for it and was given a steroid cream to help ease discomfort.

Fifth Estate defends wheat

Rob lost about 1/3 his body weight on the Wheat Belly lifestyle
Rob shared his Wheat Belly lifestyle experience, demonstrating a dramatic transformation in body appearance and composition: I’m a fervent proponent of the wheat-free lifestyle, which I adopted full time in 2011 (except for an odd pizza or cupcake a few times a year). To date, I’ve lost 104 pounds. My challenge now is to transition my children from wheat to this healthful and sustainable lifestyle! Though he doesn’t mention it, you can be sure that Rob also experienced dramatic improvements in multiple aspects of health. Among the more prominent effects that people experience over time, especially a sust...
