#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The groundbreaking phenomenon that kick-started the grain-free movement, now revised and expanded with the latest nutritional and scientific research findings! “One of the most impactful nutrition-based books of modern times.”—David Perlmutter, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain First published in 2011, Wheat Belly introduced the world to the hidden dangers of modern wheat and gluten, revolutionizing the conversation around health and weight loss forever. Nearly a decade later, Dr. William Davis’s provocative indictment of the dominant staple in our diet continues to inspire countless people to “lose the wheat.” After witnessing thousands of patients regain their health after giving up wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic—and its elimination is key to drastic weight loss and optimal health. In Wheat Belly , Dr. Davis provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a new wheat-free lifestyle. Now updated with refreshed recipes, new program guidelines, and cutting-edge nutritional findings, Wheat Belly is an illuminating look at what truly is making Americans sick and an action plan to clear our plates of this harmful ingredient. Review: I don’t want to believe it, but… - Well written, easy to read. Plenty of practical guidance on how to ditch wheat, and even more importantly, the ingredients that spike blood sugar. A good read for anyone who is curious about the effects of everyday foods on the body. Review: Necessary read for everyone - Everyone should read this book, twice! Teach it in schools!

A Guide to Better Health
This is an insightful book. The main idea is to help people get healthy. He explains how the food industry has been making people unhealthy for years and the government was a part of that. He goes into how to change your diet to lose weight and improve your health. He has stories of individuals who have overcome serious health issues by just changing their diets. There are recipes in the book also. You can look the author up on YouTube to get an idea of his views first if you would prefer.

The book is ok
Dr Davis is very knowledgeable about L.Reuteri, different cultures, and the negative effects of wheat on our bodies, but some of the recipes, not all, but some I think an inexperienced cook put them together without trying them first. What you can do is upload the recipe to AI and just ask how you can make this recipe better. The book is good, but I think I could’ve found a lot of the information in other places.

Wheat belly and pretzel brain!!!
Lots of information on gluten and its side effects. Another slang term is ‘pretzel brain’ and I was highly addicted to pretzels but didn’t realize it at the time. Main focus of the book is about the weightloss once you ditch gluten. Enjoyed the patient testimonials and the author wrote it in a way that kept me engaged.

This book is very educational and helpful in creating a healthier lifestyle in a way you probably didn’t think about before. It shares important information that everybody should know considering wheat is in our diets everyday. YOU should read this book for yourself and those you love!

A good guide to get you thinking about what you eat
Dr. Davis' book is worth a read and dispenses some good advice to those of us who were looking to change our diets for the better. Anyone can go online and find there is all kinds of commentary on every aspect of every claim he makes in this book so no need to go into it here. Unless you prepare and cook absolutely everything that will enter your mouth from it's very essence to your tongue, this diet is pretty impracticable to follow strictly. So impracticable to the point that unless you want to pay to eat just plain lettuce you can say goodbye to eating out. These things having been said, reading this gave me a lot of information to factor in to what I eat, especially just how profoundly additives and preservatives in both highly processed and even not so highly processed foods can wreak havoc on the human body. There are also some inconsistencies with the 'never eat' or 'eat sometimes' foods (like 'never' for bananas or apples but some recipies have....bananas and apples in them). Before reading this book my diet was craptacular. I followed the diet strictly for 14 days and lost 7lbs (although a lot of this can be attributed to losing bloat, etc). But no doubt about it, I look and felt much, much better all the way down the line. Friends and family noticed. 3 months in I adhere to a lot of the principles he lays out in this book especially regarding junk food, sugar and carbs. Contrary to his recommendations I do eat legumes, occasional potatoes, probiotic yogurt and other nutrition powerhouse foods he says to avoid so you don't spike your blood sugar. Well, and the occasional cheeseburger (I'm only human after all) but generally avoid all bread and grains and added wheat. I don't miss them in my diet and have no cravings at all for them. I also carefully read labels for everything. I am down 14lbs during this time and lose about 1/2lb a week with no calorie restrictions or counting calories, macros or any of that stuff. And I just feel better. I'd recommend this book as a guide rather than a bible unless you have serious issues with gluten in which case this information could be a godsend.

Amazing!
Wheat Belly confirms the suspicions I've had for years if not decades. Wheat is the root cause of so many health issues and people just can't see that Agribusiness and Big Food are in bed with the government to perpetuate the need for pharmaceuticals and doctor visits. I highly recommend Wheat Belly for everyone from those just starting to question things to those who know that wheat is dangerous.

Revelador e ao mesmo tempo assustador
Livro muito bem suportado cientificamente com uma escrita cativante (li quase de seguida em 3 dias) que é ao mesmo tempo revelador e assustador.

Exactly as expected. A highly recommended read!
I had already read the earlier version of this book so its revised form was just better than the first edition. Excellent book! I cannot recommend it highly enough. Lots of great information and supports my own experiences with wheat gluten intollerance - with all the supporting information presented in a clear fashion for every level of the reader's ability of understanding.

Essential reading if you have a weight issue or want the lowdown on grain.
Dr. Davis has some fantastic resources around. This is an esential read for anyone who is interested in or who has issues with grain. It brings all his previous books under one cover, including historic changes and the modern manipulation of grass seeds that we are told to eat. Read it and make your own mind up.
