Wheat Belly
Wheat Belly was the original book that turned the nutritional world topsy-turvy and exposed “healthy whole grains” as the genetically altered Frankenwheat imposed on the public by agri-cultural geneticists and agribusiness.
The tidal wave of astounding health and weight loss successes, many of them recounted in Wheat Belly social media, has created a nationwide movement away from the destructive effects of wheat products.
The book that triggered a 9.5 Richter scale earthquake in the nutritional world, caused heartburn to flare in thousands of dietitians, increased Preparation H sales among my colleagues, and caused nervous breakdowns among grain executives, is now available for preorder in paperback.
The paperback edition contains a new foreword that updates all that has happened since Wheat Belly was first released in August, 2011.
- Removing products made with modern wheat yields astounding and often unexpected benefits in health and weight loss.
- Autoimmune, gastrointestinal, and mind effects top the list for conditions that improve or reverse with wheat elimination.
- Weight loss can occur at a surprising rate, typically 15-18 pounds over the first month, when wheat is eliminated.

Hi all, are Quest brand protein bars acceptable on WB? Trying to find something along that line, it seems like the best option, in general their bars are pretty low net carbs, the ones I like are 4 and 5 net carbs. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!
Yes, I think Quest bars are reasonable, Greg.
I consume Quest bars. Some remarks.
QBs are too low in fat, and so are not a complete meal replacement. They are a fabulously convenient snack when nothing else is around – far superior to anything else on the bar market.
Some of the QBs have a small amount of sucralose. This is suspect as a gut biome antagonist, and may actually diminish the prebiotic effect of the isomalto-ogilosaccharides. Excess gas is a common (but not universal) complaint from those trying a QB for the first time – could be due to either or both.
Thanks Dr. Davis & Boundless, appreciate your comments, glad to hear these QB’s are ok !!
The sad news here is that Quest Bars are not the darling of the low carb and body building communities because of their excellence, but because every other bar on the market is a disaster.
> … every other bar on the market is a disaster.
I keep an eye on the bar market, and was just looking at Well Food Company’s new products, which are being promoted on a prominent alleged paleo blog. They are all high to offscale in net carbs, and deceptively documented to boot.
The Pineapple Coconut product, for example, is 124 grams net carb (that’s 2.5 days worth on WB guidelines), mostly sugars, some misleadingly identified as “evaporated cane juice” (that’s how ordinary cane sugar is made, folks).
It’s hard to tell if these cretins are fooling themselves or they are assuming that their customers are free-range idiots who fall for random organic grass-fed buzzwords.
All of this, alas, is typical of products in the nutrition bar market.
I’m waiting on WFF’s to enter the bar market….if they do, they could potentially corner it.
> I’m waiting on [ WFMF ] to enter the bar market…
I made that exact remark in an order I placed with them this week.
It’s now been a year or more since both WFMF and Quest were rumored to be working on it. I have a feeling that the problem isn’t simple. Starting with a Quest-like bar, several criteria must be met:
* increased fats, specifically DHA & EPA Omega 3s
* meet flavor, taste, mouth feel and palatability targets
* have at least a 1 year room-temp shelf life
* hit a price point not outrageously higher than Quest bars
* not cause reactions that would clobber repeat sales, even if harmless and temporary
* find a market (if there were massive demand for an LCHF or keto bar, the clueless and crooked brands would already be claiming to provide such a product)
If it were easy, and insatiable demand was awaiting, it would have been done by now.
I never liked soft copy books, they get damaged. hardcover books last forever.Waste of timber in my opinion.
I own 50 years old books that are in perfect shape, but they are HARD cover.
Soft cover can get damaged in a month.
Person might think this is conspiracy to buy books over and over :)
Goodness… August 2011? I must have been one of your earliest readers because we started Wheat Belly eating in September 2011 and have stuck to it ever since. We’ve never looked back and are still much slimmer and healthier as a result.
Oh, goodie. I finally gave up giving away hard copies – with the express promise that if they didn’t read it they should give them back to me so that I could share with someone else that had asked. It was always the same type of people…..you know the ones: I don’t think I can live without bread and weigh 250 lbs.. Whine #101
Now, I can pick up a couple of paperback copies and spread them around. I have a huge OCD about books. Never dog ear pages, nor underline whole paragraghs, nor bend a flap back, with the big no-no on breaking the backs. Every book I own looks brand new. I have to settle myself to never seeing that book again because most do not return one until reminded.
Thanks for the head’s up Dr. Davis.
For the curious, the Look Inside mode on Amazon states that it is showing the hardcover contents. The Read Instantly mode on B&N is showing the current Nook edition. The IB page doesn’t have any preview.
