What you need to know about the DANGERS of weight loss and gallstones

By Dr. Davis | September 20, 2019

The evidence is clear: The WAY you lose weight can determine whether or not you develop gallstones. Surprisingly, cutting calories and/or fat, as advised by many doctors, dietitians, and commercial weight loss programs, leaves you at high-risk for develop gallstones and gallbladder surgery.

The remedies to this dangerous situation are simple.

If you followed a low-fat and/or low-calorie diet, please take this brief survey from the Wheat Belly Blog.

    I’m curious as to how you suggest to achieve weight loss without a change in calorie intake. Negative energy balance is the only possible way to lose weight, and you’d be hard pressed to sustain a negative energy balance while maintaining calorie intake. If calorie intake decreases sporadically due to reduced hunger, as you discuss as a common result of the WB lifestyle, it’s still a way of cutting calories. And any resultant weight loss is largely due to the negative energy balance sustained by “cutting calories” in this way.

      CICO is a false narrative, as was bluntly demonstrated by Sam Feltham in a risky personal trial a few years back. Scroll down to Self-Experiment Conclusions. Now Sam was looking at weight gain, not loss, but what it explains how easy (one might say inevitable) it is to gain with carbs, and how hard with fat.

      Wheat Belly and Undoctored do not count calories. All we count is net carbs (capped) and prebiotic fiber carbs (specific target).
