Chapter 1 -
Wheat Belly Snacks

 
 

In the past few years, the Wheat Belly diet has become more and
more popular.
 
Chances are, you

ve
probably heard about it before

but even if you haven

t,
you should know why it

s getting so popular!
 
This diet accomplishes weight loss and energy
increase in a very short amount of time.
 
Dr. William Davis, the creator of the wheat belly diet, performed many
studies to prove just how efficient and useful his diet plan could be, and the
volunteers in these studies showed a significant positive difference in their
weight, energy, and blood sugar.

 

Much like a low carb diet, the wheat belly diet helps you shed
weight because it provides an increased amount of daily protein consumption and
a much lower amount of carbohydrates.
 
This means that fat is burned much more quickly, leading to fast weight
loss.
 
The same properties of a wheat
belly diet also keep inflammation in the body low.
 
If you have an inflammatory health issue,
wheat belly is sure to help!

 

Getting started on the road to wheat belly may seem overwhelming.
 
The diet is particular, and you need to be very
careful of what you eat in order to fight inflammation and help your mind and
body.
 
However, this book is here to help
you, so you don

t have to try to learn about wheat belly
alone!

 

Whether you are trying to balance your blood sugar, deal with
bodily inflammation, increase your energy, or lose weight, look no further than
wheat belly.
 
Read on to learn more about
this diet!

 
 
 
 
 
Eating Without Wheat
 

The wheat belly diet has a few strict rules that must be
followed, but don

t let that discourage you!
 
You will still be able to eat tons of
delicious foods every day, as long as you pay close attention to what you
consume.

 

You should focus on eating:

Fruits and berries

Vegetables of all types

Flax

Nuts and seeds

Olive oil and/or coconut oil

Full fat dairy (cheese, yogurt, milk, butter, etc.)

Grass fed meat

Eggs

Soy

Red wine

 

Refrain from eating:

Cereal

Bread

Pasta

Barley

Spelt

Oats

Beer and other wheat-brewed alcohols

Benefits of Wheat Belly Dieting
 

Whatever you

re hoping to accomplish, the wheat belly
diet can help you!

 

Weight loss.
 
Since
a wheat belly diet works like a low carb diet, it is great for weight
loss.
 
The increased amounts of protein
and fiber you consume on a wheat belly diet, as well as the decreased
carbohydrate levels, will help burn fat very quickly.
 
The diet alone works wonders, but coupling it
with exercise will help you lose weight faster and keep it off more easily.

 

Clearer thinking.
 
When
you eat too many wheat products, your mind is sure to feel fuzzy and
clouded.
 
This is because of the
increased inflammation wheat consumption causes in your whole body

including in your brain!
 
When you cut down on wheat, you will also cut
down on confusion and unclear thinking.
 
Your brain will thank you!

 

Increased energy.
 
If
you feel like you can

t get
through the day without a nap or can

t
accomplish everything you want to get done because you

re too tired,
you should definitely try removing wheat from your diet.
 
The less wheat and the more fiber you eat,
especially from fresh veggies and fruits, the better you will feel!

 

Reduced inflammation.
 
Inflammation
can cause a wide range of problems.
 
It
can lead to joint pain, digestive disease or upset, migraine headaches, and even
Alzheimer

s disease.
 
When you cut back on wheat, your body

s inflammation levels will begin to
drop significantly and very quickly.
 
Your pain will be reduced and you

ll feel great!
