OK, you’re not going to like me for this one but here goes…
After helping hundreds of clients lose hundreds of pounds while regaining their health and energy over the last 20 years my private VIP’s have found this to be the greatest dietary change leading to lasting success…
Lose the wheat and lose the weight.
Unfortunately, many of us are stuffing ourselves with nutrient void and calorically dense “sub-food” and wheat is often one of the main ingredients. Yes, I know we’re told about the benefits of “healthy/whole grains”-I’m a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s in Nutrition and have learned to teach this as well. Yet, even with healthy/whole grains containing more fiber, etc. they’re only a slightly better choice from their highly stripped alternatives.
Between encouraging us to overeat, triggering surges of insulin that help store body fat (not to mention promote chronic illnesses) wheat is often behind so many of the ailments we see today.
Now here’s where you may be getting angry…but if you don’t believe me, just take a look at our state of size and health just 20 or 30 years ago. Few people were overweight and now, adults and kids alike, it’s more common than ever. Sure we’ve been “super sizing”, “economy sizing” and “value mealing”; inhaling foods with ingredients that read more like lab experiments but the proof is in the pudding…I mean in the wheat.
I’m not saying wheat products aren’t delicious and satisfying…is there a better smell or taste than freshly baked bread? What I am saying is that for the sake of our health, confidence, lifestyle, quality of life and waistline give this some thought and see howyour daily food choices may be preventing you from creating the health, body, business and life that you want most.

I've cut wheat out in the
Although I agree with you
Although I agree with you that losing wheat does make losing weight easy, losing wheat can also be very expensive and not very practical for households with a single income. I usually eat 3-4 large packages of smoked salmon for lunch on a salad each week, and these usually cost about 8-9 dollars each. I consume a lot of calories from expensive proteins like fish. I cannot stand the taste of beans or soy, so this makes eating without much wheat very costly. Almost everyone I know with a grain allergy/intolerance is a size 4 or smaller and we all have to spend a great deal on food.
Losing wheat is a great idea
If you are trying to maintain
If you are trying to maintain a current weight, it is still better to eat your tasty cheddar cheese with some apple slices or brocolli instead of on crackers.
I agree with you. I am
I agree with you. I am allergic to most types of bread, muffins, bagels and waffles, and I think this helps me to make healthier breakfast and snack choices. There are many better nutrient-rich food choices other than wheat/barley breads.
