About this ebook

This cookbook companion to the New York Times bestseller Wheat Belly serves up 150 great tasting wheat-free recipes to help readers lose weight and beat disease.

Wheat Belly shook the foundations of the diet world when author and renowned cardiologist William Davis revealed that an epidemic of adverse health effects-ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar to the buildup of stubborn belly fat (so-called "wheat bellies")-could be banished forever with one simple step: Saying goodbye to wheat. The Wheat Belly Cookbook takes readers to the next level with over 150 fresh and delicious wheatless recipes, including Breakfast Quesadillas, Braised Pot Roast with Vegetables, velvety Peanut Butter Pie—and surprising wheat-free hits like Blueberry French Toast, Bruschetta Chicken on Angel Hair, Spaghetti Bolognese and velvety Scones.

Additionally, readers will also learn how to:

- Dodge symptoms of "wheat withdrawal" experienced by about 10 percent of dieters, ensuring a smooth transition to this new healthy eating plan
- Set up their wheat-free kitchen, including important prep techniques, shopping lists, and strategies to get the whole family on board
- Avoid regaining a wheat belly while eating out at restaurants and parties—plus exciting meal ideas guests will love

I was diagnosed with celiac about ten years ago and have been gluten free ever since. This book reads more like an extremist POV than anything else. Things are OK in moderation and the author basically fears certain ingredients like the plague. Go gf if you need to, like I did, but don't do it just because it's trendy or cool. Again, like most things in life, moderation is key. In regards to the recipes in this book, they are often hampered drastically by the authors fear of certain gf ingredients.

If you do not have a wheat allergy or are not afflicted with Celiac Disease then you should NOT remove wheat from your diet. Despite what this book says, removing wheat will not treat, prevent, or cure any diseases with the exception of helping to treat Celiac. Do not jump on this bandwagon: I ate wheat-free for over a year and it was a needless struggle for everyone involved. Check your facts and talk to your doctor before starting a new diet.

Eating gluten free, unless due to disease, is stupid and nothing more than a fad diet. If you want to loose weight, put down the chicken pasta describe by this book and pick up some wheaties. Calories in vs calories out people, seriously. Anyone who tells you otherwise is spitting in the face of the scientific FACT that is thermodynamics. If you want to lose weight, do yourself a favor and stop doing fad diets like this. Eat better, count calories, and exercise to loose weight. It really is that simple.
