Wheat Belly: 10-Day Grain Detox; Reprogram Your Body for Rapid Weight Loss and Amazing Health

Bestselling author Davis (Wheat Belly) has filtered down his popular%E2%80%94albeit controversial%E2%80%94zero-grain approach to weight loss and optimal health to this neatly encapsulated 10-day plan. Calling for the elimination of wheat and grains, which Davis feels are akin to opiates because of their "addicting and damaging" effects on the body, he guides readers through creating a grain-free kitchen, coaches them through grain withdrawal, and provides a slew of kid- and family-friendly recipes (including deep-dish pizza, fettuccine Alfredo, and cheesecake). The theory behind the plan (which other diet and nutrition experts have contested) is clearly explained, and testimonials from past participants offer insight and encouragement. Davis's program will appeal to those looking to shed pounds, and also to anyone yearning for relief from the long list of ailments and health issues he claims can be virtually wiped out%E2%80%94though his critics are less likely to be convinced.
