"A wheat-free diet has been associated with significant benefits, including:
-Weight loss of 20, 30, even 50 pounds in the first few months
-Alleviation of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes
-Recovery from intestinal woes, like ulcerative colitis and celiac disease
-Marked improvement in overall cholesterol and LDL counts
-Improvement in bone density and reversal of osteopenia
-Cessation of skin conditions from psoriasis to oral ulcers and hair loss
-Reduction of inflammation and rheumatoid arthritis pain."
What more could you want? The thing is, I am serious...what if he is right? He has lots of studies and patient trials to prove his point. The book is very easy to read, although some of it was too much information for me. But others may find it quite interesting. Definitely a book to read and consider!

I gave up bread (with a few slip-ups) on August 10. I've been feeling much more energetic. I haven't lost much weight, but I do feel better.
