Whole Grains, Half Truths: Real-life Results of the Wheat-free Diet

Because I've got some weight to lose, I have tried to keep the carb count low and I've lost 15 pounds since then.

I have also been very surprised at the significant reduction in my appetite. I've read about the experience of others with regard to appetite reduction and couldn't really imagine that it could happen for me too. But it has.

A few weeks ago, I attended a party catered by one of my favorite Italian restaurants and got myself off track for two days. Then it took me a couple of days to get back on track because my appetite returned.

The latest thing I picked up is the good old-fashioned hard boiled egg. Two or three eggs with some spicy hot sauce for breakfast and a handful of almonds mid-morning plus a couple glasses of water and I'm good for the morning, no problem.

I find myself thinking about lunch not because I'm really hungry but out of habit.

The cool thing too now is that the more I do this, the more I'm just not tempted much to do anything but this diet.

Going wheat-free, along with a reduction in processed sugary foods like sodas, juices, cookies, and candy is the straightest, most direct path I know of to lose weight, obtain all the health benefits listed by our commenters, as well as achieve enormous improvement in cholesterol patterns.
