Revonda changes her appearance, no longer diabetic
Revonda shared her 5-month “before” and “after” photos and experience living the Wheat Belly lifestyle:
“My before picture taken 7/1/15 and after picture taken 12/1/15. Lost 60 pounds and off all diabetes medicine–metformin, Farxiga, and was going to be put on insulin but, by following your plan, I have gotten off all. Next appointment my doctor said maybe get rid of the cholesterol medicine. Love this lifestyle.”
I stress this over and over again: the surge in the number of type 2 diabetics (actually, type 1 also) is a man-made phenomenon. It is not due to some genetic change, it ...

Why nutritional supplements on the Wheat Belly lifestyle?
Some people following the Wheat Belly lifestyle have asked this question: “If I eat real, whole foods rich in nutrients, why do I need nutritional supplements?”
It’s a valid question. After all, after the phytates of grains are removed that previously prevented the absorption of magnesium, iron, zinc, and calcium, and healing of the gastrointestinal tract ensues with removal of the bowel toxins intrinsic to grains, nutritional status improves in most people. You can even track this by, for instance, measuring ferritin levels (that reflect iron stores in the body) and watching them climb over the months af...

Toadstools, rotten meat and . . . grains
Sheli understands the incredible power of the Wheat Belly lifestyle. It’s not gluten-free, but goes several steps farther to eliminate all grains that cross-react immunologically with wheat, rye, and barley, while also correcting all the metabolic distortions that can persist even after their removal.
“I was diagnosed with many autoimmune illnesses, from celiac to Sjogren’s, and the list goes on and on. The small fiber neuropathy was so painful in my legs that I spent 1 year in bed and couldn’t walk. Gluten-free helped a little, but I was still in chronic pain and the fibromyalgia pain and fog were...
