"Time for dinner, kitties!" called Jane Bubnis. Her cats Sassy, Shadow and Chestnut eagerly meowed as the Florida retiree gripped the kitchen wall and struggled to get their food on the floor. She finally managed, then had to squat for a bit and muster energy to stand again. This shouldn't be so hard, Jane thought, shaking her head. Of course, her health had been spiraling for years. Heck, she'd almost died from a blood clot in her lung. Then another in her thigh. She'd broken her leg, been diagnosed with a slow thyroid, dealt with stress and sadness as her mom got sick and passed. I never had a chance to recover from one thing before the next happened. Now, Jane's cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure and weight were all high, and she could barely manage everyday tasks-forget hobbies like golf and kayaking. I don't want the rest of my life to be like this. But what can I do?
Jane's first thought was Weight Watchers, yet she hesitated to rejoin a program that never got her lasting results. Then one day, the TV caught her attention. "Even many 'healthy foods' increase appetite until we can't stop overeating," said a doctor. Interesting, thought Jane, turning her focus to an interview with William Davis, M.D., author of Wheat Belly and Super Gut.
Jane found herself nodding as Dr. Davis explained that compounds in modern wheat drive incessant hunger, speed fat storage and destroy our health. I've always eaten a lot of wheat cereal, pasta and bread-even on Weight Watchers, she realized. Dr. Davis said that if we get rid of wheat, "making healthy choices and losing weight becomes easy." Jane decided to see for herself.
