Before I read Grain Brain and Wheat Belly, I LOVED bread. I consider myself a baker and did not want to stop eating wheat or grain, but I eventually did. Over the 3 month period in which I stopped eating wheat, I lost 35 pounds with little or no increase in exercise. I’m 65 and I felt so much more energized that I began a walking program after the weight loss. The weight stayed off, but the bloating, constipation and indigestion returns if I indulge in pizza, cookies, or sandwiches. It’s immediate and painful and takes about 2 days to repair the damage. I don’t know if it’s grain, pesticides, or both but I need to stay away from these foods!
