Wheat Belly Holiday Recipes: Healthy Biscuits and Gravy
Biscuits and gravy: the ultimate comfort food . . . one you thought you’d never have again!
The familiar dish of breakfast and holiday meals is recreated here with a delicious gravy that you can pour over freshly-baked hot biscuits. Because it contains no wheat or other unhealthy thickeners like cornstarch made with junk carbohydrates, there should be no blood sugar or insulin problems with this dish, nor joint pain, edema, acid reflux, mind “fog,” or dandruff—–life is good without grains!
Grain-free biscuits and gravy are also much more filling than their grain-based counterparts. It means that, should you p...

Spicy Pork-Stuffed Peppers
Using riced cauliflower allows you to re-create many rice dishes easily while maintaining a
grain-free, low-carb eating style. While you can rice the cauliflower yourself in a food chopper
or food processor, food retailers such as Trader Joe’s are now selling pre-riced bags for
convenience.
Choose your marinara sauce for low sugar/carbohydrate content, ideally no more than
12 grams net carbs per cup (or prepare it yourself, of course). Also choose the roundest bell
peppers you can find.

Wheat Belly: Quick and Dirty #3
In view of the many new readers on the Wheat Belly Blog, many of whom have not yet had an opportunity to read the book but are eager to get started, here is the most recently updated Wheat Belly Quick & Dirty summary. It summarizes the essential dietary strategies of the Wheat Belly approach to 1) avoid all products made from high-yield, semi-dwarf wheat that wreak health destruction along with all other grains, and 2) create a diet that is otherwise healthy and appropriate for all members of the family. In particular, I’ve tried to clarify some items that were unclear in previous versions.
This is the lifestyle ...

No-Knead Whole Wheat Bread
Summers in the mountains means bread.
I rarely make bread at home in New York City. Not that I couldn’t. After all, this bread is easy enough to make, and despite it’s long rise time, requires very little of my attention.
But thinking about making bread does require, for me at least, a relaxed, open mind. And the inward assurance that in 18 hours I will still be available to move the bread on to it’s second rise, and then to it’s baking. Coordinating that with my schedule in the city makes the bread making feel like a chore and not the joy it is when I undertake it here at the cottage. Here, the day...

Ketogenic diet: Is the ultimate low-carb diet good for you?
Recently, many of my patients have been asking about a ketogenic diet. Is it safe? Would you recommend it? Despite the recent hype, a ketogenic diet is not something new. In medicine, we have been using it for almost 100 years to treat drug-resistant epilepsy, especially in children. In the 1970s, Dr. Atkins popularized his very-low-carbohydrate diet for weight loss that began with a very strict two-week ketogenic phase. Over the years, other fad diets incorporated a similar approach for weight loss.
What is a ketogenic diet?
In essence, it is a diet that causes the body to release ketones into the bloodstream. Most cells ...

Healthy Low-Carb Barbecue Sauce
Here’s a recipe for a Low-Carb Barbecue Sauce I modified slightly from the original I shared in the Wheat Belly 30-Minute Cookbook.
You may have noticed that nearly all commercial barbecue sauces at the supermarket contain high-fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, or sugar as primary ingredients, converting your tasty barbecued ribs or chicken into a toxic sugar exposure.
This low-carb version yields 8 grams net carbs per 1/4 cup due to the carbs from tomatoes and the bit of molasses. (The molasses is optional, but does add some extra depth of flavor.) Spread on ribs, chicken, or burgers that contain zero carbs, and you...

How can you find a cheaper natural lip balm? Episode 161
How can you find a cheaper natural lip balm?
Abby says…I have a question about Bite Beauty’s Agave Lip Mask. It claims its natural formula smoothes, nourishes and moisturizes lips with a bio active combination of organic agave nectar, jojoba oil, vanilla co2 extract, and triple the amount of the antioxidant trans-resveratrol found in red wine. It doesn’t mention anything about it containing lead so I’m wondering if it’s safe and effective to use on dry lips. I’m also wondering if you can tell me if there’s anything else on the market that might be similar to this because this is very expen...

Can hair straighteners stop your hair from being naturally curly? Episode 160
Can hair straighteners stop your hair from being naturally curly?
Sarah asks…Can straightening your hair for a long time change it from being very curly to being naturally straight?
That’s like saying bleaching your brown hair for a long time will make you naturally blonde. It doesn’t work that way because you’re only treating the hair that’s already grown out of the scalp. The chemistry and biology that determines if your hair is curly or straight happens BELOW the scalp.
Yes, there are two main factors that control hair shape. One is the shape of the follicle. We’ve used this analogy before but you can ...

Cracking the coconut oil craze
If you Google “coconut oil,” you’ll see a slew of stories touting the alleged health benefits of this solid white fat, which is easy to find in supermarkets these days. But how can something that’s chock-full of saturated fat — a known culprit in raising heart disease risk — be good for you?
Coconut does have some unique qualities that enthusiasts cite to explain its alleged health benefits. But the evidence to support those claims is very thin, says Dr. Qi Sun, assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
“If you want to lower your risk of heart disease...
