Wheat Wheat Wheat Wheat!!!!!

I haven't read the "Wheat Belly" book. I haven't spend hours of my time researching it. All I did was I just stopped eating it! The only thing that rings true is that it has been altered beyond where it's no longer the grain we used to consume 50+ years ago... I'm not what you would say Religious about it. I still have those yummy condiments, etc... I've been MSG free, Dairy Free, and HFCS free for years (all 90%). Oh boy is that a change, now I have to remove all wheat & Grain flour products from my life too. I'm sure you're wondering what it is I can have. Well, there are lots, but that is not why I'm writing today. I'm writing to help some of you who is reading everything you can get your hands on.

Heed this two lines; "Just stop eating it for 2 weeks and see how you feel without it? If you feel better, then you can do it the next 2-4 weeks until the body repairs itself can live better without it!"

My clothes are fitting better. My IBS isn't as bad. I live by "feed the cravings," so yeah, I enjoy ice cream when my body needs it and I have a donut or 2 when the body needs the yeast. Living in my car is giving me the opportunity to workout everyday at the rec center and thrilled to see tone that I haven't seen in a long time. So, just make the change with the food and continue to work out or start. I don't go crazy working out, slow and easy burns the calories and build muscles. I've been 90% wheat free for 6 weeks and I can say I don't feel bogged down anymore.

If you really want to know if it's good or bad for you, just stop eating it and see how you feel. Don't do it because it the New Great Thing, do it to see if your body truly can't handle it...

PS. "Gluten Free" is NOT always wheat/grain flour free, so read those labels...

Good Luck!
