Jennifer provided an update after a year and a half on the Wheat Belly lifestyle:
“A year and a half wheat-free and I am now down 113 pounds!
“Going wheat-free has been a life changer. At my worst, I was experiencing heartburn, foot pain and swelling, back pain, coughing and headaches. I was afraid to go to the doctor for fear of what he would tell me. The wheezing has stopped, I sleep better at night and I am not having foot pain and swelling. 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 at Crossfit. Going wheat-free and Paleo has given me the opportunity to live a normal, active life again and to enjoy playing soccer with my kids!”
I believe it is no exaggeration to say that Jennifer’s life has been transformed by her wheat-free lifestyle. Before she engaged in this lifestyle, she was clearly experiencing joint and airway inflammation, disruption of gastrointestinal health, headaches, and was impaired by weight. Look at her now: I’m sure that family, friends, and neighbors barely recognize her!
Jennifer chose to combine her wheat-free lifestyle with some of the additional “paleo” restrictions and exercise, though those added strategies are not always necessary to achieve such extravagant results.
Be sure to add your congratulations to Jennifer here and on the Wheat Belly Facebook page!
I went wheat free, but also processed food free and lost a ton of weight, high blood pressure and prediabetes in less than a year. I concur wheat is fattening and bad for one’s health.
Incredible, she is another person!

I met Jennifer somewhere in the middle of her weight loss journey and have watched this impressive transformation take place. She truly is an inspiration to those who want to make a similar lifestyle change!
This is a great article! I’ve been following Jennifer’s story from the beginning of her lifestyle/diet changes, and the journey has been incredible! She has even begun a website to help others on their journey to eating more healthy and instigating lifestyle changes. She has great recipes, and tips over at http://poorpaleo.com/ and has helped our family to be more aware of our eating habits.
I went to high school with this wonderful person.

I’m so proud of her! She was determined to do this, and she did!

Thanku for ur inspiration!!!
Wow! You are my inspiration! I started the WB diet/primal beginning of January and have lost 12 lbs, and have a long way to go yet. But this is not just a diet to me, it is a journey for the rest of my life. I am also incorporating this healthy way of eating for my husband and children at home. There are just so many benefits, healthwise, that we see in our children, and hope this will be a good example to them for the rest of their lives.
Keep the testamonials coming, please!!! I need all the tips, meal and snack ideas I can get as well;) Thankyou!
She is beautiful.
