I've been wondering about my huge and growing gut. At Christmas, I sat on the sofa at a friend's house and could barely get up. All my fat heaved upward and pushed my chin up, pressing all my fat up against my trachea, making me feel like I would soon suffocate.
As I come across books I'd like to read, I put them on hold on my library website. When they are ready for pick-up (some take weeks), I never really know why I wanted it, but I usually still thumb through it.
Wheat Belly by William Davis, MD is one of those books.
As far as my digestion goes, I don't really have any reason to go gluten-free (I'm so grateful), and I've reduced my grains significantly over the past two years. Reading this book makes me wonder if I really need to eat wheat at all, since the wheat I'm eating isn't really WHEAT.
I'm going to cut out wheat as much as I can and see if that helps me lose weight. What would I cut out? I occasionally eat a tortilla and several times a month eat some kind of noodle. I don't each rice or bread very often.
If you'd like to see what I do eat, you can see my daily food logs HERE.
