Great listen and lots of information

Excellent book highlighting where I have been going wrong for so many years. Undoing years of unhealthy ‘ingrained’ bad habits!!!

Life changing

Just listen, open minded. Gets a bit too technical in the latter chapters but the first 5 chapters alone blew my mind

Life saving information. Essential health info.

Seems to be working very well for me. Not only am I losing weight without pain as the appetite reduction is true, but also one vision.problem I had has cleared up and my blood values have improved. I'm not going back.

wow.... never knew any of this

Bit technical in parts but thorough and informative. Sounds like a rant in some places almost like wheat is the root of all evil in the world. I am definitely avoiding it now.

Very informative

I struggled with the quickness of the talking, I missed a few things but I suppose that's what the rewind button is for. After listening to this I'm going to definitely put this into action and banish the wheat and the other associated products in the food chain which replace wheat in gluten free foods. I'm in England but we too are an ever increasing size, surely won't be long before the mainstream view banishes wheat and sugar, I'm 48 and hope I've seen the light before it's too late, goodbye bread and cereal, you've made me twice the man I should be

Unbelievable

One of the most informative books I’ve ever read . Putting in words what I have always suspected

This is a brilliant book, but...

... don't buy it if what you're looking for is unbiased information. The author tells you, clearly, from the onset that he doesn't think wheat does anyone any good at all.



Personally, I find this book absolutely fascinating. I've enjoyed listening to it, and it's interesting to hear about so many studies that have been largely ignored by the medical community. He speaks a lot of Celiac disease, weight loss and diabetes, among other things. I've found information here that I've never heard of before, which in and out of itself is quite astounding (I belong to that nerdy group of people that read and listen to this for fun).



Sometimes I do find that I can only listen to the audio book for a short while, before wanting to shout "Yes, I get it, wheat is bad!" at the author, which is the only downside I've found so far. Well, I'd also like that he'd name what studies he's referencing when and from what year they are, so that I can look those up for myself, but that's a minor detail.



All that said though, this is a good book, well researched, well thought out, well read and fascinating - that's why it gets four stars from me.

we all needed to know

If you could sum up Wheat Belly in three words, what would they be?

This is the scientifc based, best book ever about the truth about wheat, and the most simple solution to 90% most common health problems of our moder society.
As soon as i listened to this I bought the actual paper book. It require to be read carefully.
Got off wheat and lost the belly and have no arthritis any longer, nor i feel tired...

Informative

This is a very interesting read but would perhaps be more valuable in hard copy as there is a lot of information that the reader might like to review over and over.

informative bias health

What does Tom Weiner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The pronunciation of food types and medical conditions that one might otherwise say wrong in their mind.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The emotional reaction to I had to this book was shock. From a scientific point of view I completely understand and can see how wheat has had these effects. The evidence presented in terms of patients he has cured is astounding (I do hope the claims are true and not absent of disclosing other implemented treatments).

I myself suffer from IBS and are well aware of the symptoms he has described. After reading this book I endeavoured to follow his program and see how the results panned out. The most difficult part I found was eliminating the wheat! It is so abundant and an additive to almost everything we eat. To remove it and live a normal live is near impossible. The effort, planning and organisation is like rearing a baby. Everything you do and everywhere you go needs to have forethought and you must take you sling bag fill of 'alternatives' as you would nappies for an infant. Then there is the problem of being a guest and turning down al the foods that have been graciously prepared for you.

I tried a wheat minimisation diet and that help things quiet a bit. My rule was - where I can control it - I will. It was enlighten and yes - I felt better.

Read this book to learn. Make your decisions based on your situation and lifestyle and try to adapt. You will most likely feel healthier and more lively as a result.

Good luck
