Wheat Belly

Book review!   

This book took me a while to read because 

every time there was research cited ; I chose to dig and read the sources as well.  

Often times books like these can be viewed as 

propaganda.    I found this book to be quite 

accurate when compared to my experiences 

and prior knowledge.   

While it did not touch on PCOS specifically, it 

did speak about insulin resistance in great detail.  I appreciated the history lessons presented about wheat and how we as Americans grew it a 

century ago vs. now.  

Another area of the book I appreciated was how it talked about being gluten free without 

eating gluten free.   What this means is that to 

eat gluten free is to eat clean.  A lot of the 

products out there that are labeled “gluten free” have so many added fillers and a crap ton of 

carbs.    

I do think it’s worth a read. The research is 

fascinating and as someone with PCOS and 

Hashimotos; it was valuable to me.  

I’m going to have my husband read it next 

because the Alzheimer’s research presented 

was rather scary.   Unfortunately, it runs in his 

Family.
