The ladies are getting bolder!
Over the past year since Wheat Belly was first released and shook the crumbs out of the wheat-consuming world, we’ve heard of countless success stories, including dramatic weight loss. But the ladies have been very shy about posting their “before” and “after” photos!
Here are the photos of two ladies, posted within just hours of each other on the Wheat Belly Facebook page:

Isn’t that great? Lives are turned around. And, yes, it’s about weight loss, but it is–even MORE importantly–about all the health conditions turned around, minimized, or completely cured.
And there will indeed be another Wheat Belly Blog post in near-future to address the people who say, “I stopped the wheat, no longer have acid reflux or joint pain, but I still haven’t lost weight!” You might say that those of you who FAIL to lose the weight you want have managed to unmask abnormal health conditions that impair weight loss.
The other thing I like about being grain, dairy, starch and sugar free? Not only am I never hungry, I don’t worry about portion control: when I’m full, I know it and can’t eat another bite, even if the plate still has food left on it! And I actually have the time to decide and prepare what I want to eat, not just grabbing the nearest thing to my hand that looks like food.
Yes, excellent, Sedena!
This has been one of the most remarkable aspects of this journey so far…For the first time, I am not a slave to food…I almost feel repulsed by the thought of eating more than I ‘should’…I must say, though, that old habits die hard and I often take a second helping out of habit only to realize that I don’t want it! I don’t feel as anxious or restless around food….signs that I was obviously addicted. Tonight I made a gluten free pizza base and added a ton of toppings…when it came time to ear, I finished one slice and immediately grabbed another…I felt like I was forcing myself to eat it…
Trust me, when you’ve had issues around food all of your life, these are huge revelations!
Yes, revelations, indeed! I’m experiencing the same things…it is awesome! I see now how much I was eating out of habits being driven by cravings and their frustration.
I feel so FREEEEE!
While I didn’t have any really recognizable stomach issues from wheat., I can now tell when something slips in in a dressing or something at a restaurant as the food cravings are back immediately….and then I can usually trace it back.
I just feel awesome! I am soooo excited about this! Food has been a major problem for me for 28 years…BUT NO MORE!!!!
I’m the girl in the second photo set, I should mention that this process has taken me about a year in total so far and I am down to 190-194 lbs and wearing more size 12′s and still some 14′s depending on style and brand of pants, tops were sizes XL/XXL/1X but they are now mostly mediums, a few larges and a couple smalls again all depending on style and brand. I plan to keep going and lose another 30-40 lbs, my goal is not to be skinny but to be solid
Thanks for all your support, Wheat Belly has become one of my fav books!
I’m anxiously awaiting that post regarding dropping the wheat (and sugar, and carbs in general……) and NOT losing the weight
Hi Dr. Davis,
I hope you plan to visit Denver. It would be nice to meet you. I have a question about non-wheat flours and how critical is flour “contamintation” with wheat? I’m hoping simply buying corn flour is much fine and still considered gluten-free and I should not worry about some possible contamination with wheat, since for over 40 years I’ve been eating wheat and enjoyed it, and now I’ve been happily gluten-free for over a month.
In other word, for NON-celiac people, how big of a deal is it small amount of wheat contamination with non-wheat flour for gluten-free diet?
It varies, Alex, but it can induce all manner of peculiar re-exposure reactions. So it is worth avoiding, though I doubt it is in your corn starch.
HOWEVER, nobody should be using cornstarch as a wheat flour replacement. This will give you diabetes, visceral fat growth, hypertension, heart disease, cataracts, cancer, and dementia when consumed over time, not to mention potential exposure to GM corn.
better to go mostly grain free when u can, there are many tasty goods u can make such as loaves and muffins with almond meal and coconut flour! for example grain free zucchini bread:
1 and 1/2 cup of Almond Meal
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 large eggs
4 TBSP RAW honey melted
1 small banana mashed (or 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce)
1 TBSP coconut oil or butter melted
1 medium zucchini shredded and the water squeezed out very well.
Combine wet ingredients and whisk really well, add dry ingredients and zucchini, mix together. Pour into greased loaf pan (or silicone pans) and bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes. want less sugar? skip the honey, the bananas and applesauce make it sweet anyway.
is raw honey allowed on wheat belly?
