Title: Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health
Author: William Davis
KDL Description:
Written by William Davis, MD who ”lived” the results as well as using this in his medical practice, the book is informative and quite easy to understand—wheat, multi-grains, gluten free (not the same as wheat-free) compared to and linked through research to various medical conditions; I was so impressed with the material in the book that I purchased the book in both print and audio-format to share with my extended family.

Amazon Description:
A renowned cardiologist explains how eliminating wheat from our diets can prevent fat storage, shrink unsightly bulges, and reverse myriad health problems.
Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food products made of wheat. As a result, over 100
million of them experience some form of adverse health effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventive cardiologist William Davis calls “wheat bellies.” According to Davis, that excess fat has nothing to do with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It’s due to the whole grain wraps we eat for lunch.

After witnessing over 2,000 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—

American public as “wheat”—and provides readers with a user-friendly, step-by-step plan to navigate a new, wheat-free lifestyle.
