You can't make me give up wheat. A bagel a day keeps the SJG gay. Oh, wait, that didn't come out right.
Oddly, I ran across this book yesterday and was intrigued by the notion particularly since I started following a low-carb Atkins-y type regime of my own invention---you see it involves a glass of wine every night, so it's not up to the par of some of these diets. Anyhoo, I started to think about how much better I have been feeling and the fact that my middle-aged middle is feeling less think and maybe, just maybe it's been the wheat? I have been on Weight Watchers most of my adult life in one way or another and I have just been stuck at this weight for waaaayyy too long so I thought I'd give this a whirl instead of a pretty steady diet of whole wheat products. I will be curious to hear what your experience is with this approach.
I meant "less thick"---I'll preview next time!
Carol,
I can't imagine an ungay SJG! Disregard!!!
Ronnie,
As luck would have it, Dr. Davis says red wine is, hands-down, the best thing to drink, for the all the health reasons you already know about. Beer, of course, is the worst offender, esp my former go-to, which was Boulevard Wheat, until I started noticing my nose would itch like crazy following the first few sips. I'd hit a plateau, too, and I think this strategy deserves a good college try.

Being anti-wheat seems somewhat blasphemous for a Kansan. I find your comment on Boulevard Wheat to be interesting. I have to be very picky about beer...some I am allergic to. For me, it's beer (and whisky/scotch sad to say and wines) that are barrel-aged in oak (or beechwood, yeah Budweiser, I hate you anyway, but this just adds to the way). I am allergic to oak pollen, so the fact I react with wheezing to alcohol with oak elements is not surprising.
I eat very few wheat products anyway because I've always tried to stay away from bread, crackers, cookies, pasta, etc. to avoid the calories. I do eat lower sugar cereals like Total to get the vitamins. An interesting thing to ponder, though, and maybe I'll try to get even more stringent to see what happens.
i read this while on vacation earlier this month. what made me pick it up? sitting on the beach watching belly after belly parade by me. so i have cut back severely on my wheat consumption. my daughter didn't think i could because i probably ate some form of bread or pasta at every meal. and i do mean every meal. i did it. and i feel great. it's been 3 weeks. i don't miss it at all. and i have dropped six pounds. i am a believer.
