Yes, Wheat Belly Is About Weight Loss, But It's Also About So Much More

“Five years ago I was basically bedridden. I went to doctor after doctor and they never had any answers. Everything was ‘normal.’ I vomited every morning for five years, had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, had been hospitalized twice with blood pressure at one point of 210/115. I had chronic pain, exhausted. At 34 years old, I didn’t have much of a life.

I started working with a nutritionist who suggested leaky gut syndrome. I went low-carb and felt a little better. I went gluten-free and saw a slight improvement.

I read Wheat Belly and it was like a light bulb went off.

I jumped in and went fully on plan and have been eating 100% clean since February.

After two weeks, I noticed an immediate change in my pain and energy levels. In fact, I felt so good I started going to the gym.

I now work out every day and this woman who couldn’t get out of bed five years ago is training for a race! I will be running my first 5K on my 40th birthday, so I’m celebrating my birthday by giving myself the best present ever: I got my health back! I now can run and play with my kids. It’s amazing.

As for the proof? I recently went back to the doctor — my cholesterol dropped 75 points and is now in the normal range (no meds!), my blood pressure was 118/78, I’ve lost 20 pounds, one size so far, six inches off my chest and seven off my waist.

More important than weight, I no longer have that bloat. My wheat belly is gone!! I didn’t realize how much I’ve changed in just four months until I saw these pictures. This is REAL. YOU HAVE THE POWER. You have the control over your life, your pain, your wellness. It works. There’s no such thing as cheating. This is not a diet. This is your life.”

“I started out pre-diabetic and diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Fast forward to today and I am down 60 lbs and, more importantly, no longer run the risk of diabetes and liver issues.

Nothing compares to how good it feels when you have control of your own life and health!

Before I started my journey with Wheat Belly, in the summer of 2012, my heath took a scary turn. I had gotten blood work back that my AST/ALT’s were 96/49 in addition to my triglycerides at 183. After further testing (ultrasounds and MRI), I was diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Today, I have lost 60 lbs, my triglycerides went down to 133 only 6 months after I changed my lifestyle! My cholesterol dropped over 50 points (now at around 150) and my liver enzyme count is normal, so I reversed my fatty liver disease before it was too late. I am no longer suffering from irritable bowel syndrome and have a load of energy and trying new workouts like power yoga!”

“Going wheat-free has been a life changer.

At my worst, I was experiencing heartburn, foot pain and swelling, back pain, coughing and head-aches. I was afraid to go to the doctor for fear of what he would tell me.

Now, I am 180 days in and 72 pounds down. The wheezing has stopped, I sleep better at night and I am not having foot pain and swelling — and the headaches and heartburn have disappeared completely. I went from not being able to tie my own shoes without getting out of breath to running and working out.

Going wheat-free has given me the opportunity to live a normal, active life again and to enjoy playing soccer with my kids!”

“From a waist 44, I am currently a waist 36.

I no longer get any crazy cravings. I eat and feel satiated.

My skin was blotchy with dark patches. My skin is clearing up and those patches have almost gone.

Going wheat free changed my life!”
