Wheat Belly Lose Weight Health Reviews Summary

Health Benefits

Pros:

• "I'm lighter and fitter now at 72 than I was as a 12 year old."
• "One week off ALL gluten and my knee pain of 2 years was gone."
• "No more foggy brain; inflammation, itchy skin, and joint pain gone!"
• "I have lower blood sugar, lower blood pressure, and no acid reflux, not to mention many other benefits I don't have time to describe."
• "I've lost 12 pounds, have stopped needing coffee... Don't need an afternoon nap."
• "Eliminating wheat cured my 23 year old chronic heartburn and stomach cramping."
• "Since then I have lost 60 pounds without cravings."

Cons:

• "More a scientific book. Interesting, but wasn't exactly helpful in losing weight for me."
• "Sadly the application did zero for me. Although the sugar reaction, as described, does seem to happen. Removing wheat did nothing to remove my stomach fat."
• "During those 5 weeks of eating wheat-free I think I even gained weight and got a bigger belly!!"
• "I was just diagnosed with laryngeal edema from acid reflux and prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPI's) and other acid reducing medications."
• "I ended up with disappointment after disappointment and then desperation and self-dislike and etc. I ended up with more guilt than anything else."
• "I made a mistake last week where I took some carbs and guess what - I went into a whole load of sh*ts for it."
• "I got upset by how restrictive the recommended food list seemed."

Readability and Comprehension

Pros:

• "Very excellent read that challenged my everyday view of wheat."
• "The book turned out to be a breeze to read."
• "Although it explains things in scientific terms it is nevertheless quite comprehensible for a non-scientist."
• "This book is well written, well researched, and quite thorough in its coverage of the subject."
• "Great book. Written in common sense language but still conveys some complex concepts."
• "I really enjoyed reading this book, and feel that Dr. Davis makes a very convincing argument."
• "I highly recommend the book - it's an easy read, and full of very interesting information."

Cons:

• "There were some parts that get fairly 'technical' so a little challenging to understand/get through it."
• "A lot of exaggeration, technical terms, and similar to “prove” the point."
• "A bit dry and hard to get through like a text book, especially when it talks about wheat strains."
• "Way too much scientific information. I couldn't get through the whole book."
• "The beginning was interesting like all others but then it becomes too scientific and boring to read."
• "Some of the descriptions are very long and over descriptive. It could have been shortened and still contained the same information."
• "It didn't take very long for the enthusiasm to wane, and to realize that the only way you can get through this book is if you take everything as absolute truth and abandon any thought, logic, reason or research of your own."

• "I think this book is like so many others, saying we need to cut back on processed foods, but why solo out wheat and make a whole book of it?"

• "It appears to be a difficult program to maintain, but if you are desperate and committed, it's worth trying."
• "Lots of anecdotal evidence for the program but little scientific evidence."
• "Some parts of the book are rather dry."
