I'll bet it's not just grain free, but actually that it's a LC
diet,


And you know this...how, exactly, Dr. Carnac?

Well, the very website that you constantly keep boring us with
and posting links to, as if it were some great new discovery:

http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/2011/1...ick-and-dirty/

Eliminate:
All wheat-based products (all breads, all breakfast cereals, noodles,
pasta, bagels, muffins, pancakes, waffles, donuts, pretzels,
crackers), oat products (oatmeal, oat bran), cornstarch-based products
(sauces or gravies thickened with cornstarch, prepared or processed
foods containing cornstarch, cornmeal products like chips, tacos,
tortillas), sugary soft drinks, candies

Enjoy unlimited:
Vegetables-except potatoes; fresh or frozen, never canned
Raw nuts and seeds-raw almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts,
pistachios, Brazil nuts, cashews; dry-roasted peanuts (not roasted in
oil); pumpkin and sunflower seeds
Healthy oils (unheated)-olive, flaxseed, coconut, avocado, walnut
Meats-red meats, pork, fish, chicken, turkey, eggs. (Consider free-
range, grass-fed and/or organic sources.)
Non-wheat grains-ground flaxseed, chia seeds
Teas, coffee, water, unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk or coconut
water
Cheeses—real cultured cheeses only (not Velveeta or single-slice
processed cheese)
Avocado or guacamole; hummus; unsweetened condiments, e.g.,
mayonnaise, mustard, oil-based salad dressings; ketchup without high-
fructose corn syrup; pesto, tapenades; olives

Limited:
Fruit-No more than 2 servings a day (one serving is a level handful),
preferably in this order (best first): berries of all varieties,
citrus, apples, nectarines, peaches, melons. Minimize bananas,
pineapples, mangoes, and grapes
Fruit juices-only real juices and in minimal quantities (no more than
2-4 oz)
Dairy products-No more than 1 serving per day of milk, cottage cheese
or yogurt, unsweetened (Fat content does not matter.)
Legumes/beans; peas; sweet potatoes and yams; rice (white and brown);
soy
Dark chocolates-70-85% cocoa or greater; no more than 40 grams
(approximately 2 inches square) per day
Sugar-free foods-preferably stevia-containing, rather than aspartame


Sure looks very similar to Atkins, South Beach or many other
LC, reduced carb diets.




But you have no idea what wheat may be doing to your blood sugars
because you don't TEST.


That's right. Just like so many others that I've seen here
in the newsgroup the last decade that are not diabetic, I
do LC without testing my BG. It has never even been
discussed as some kind of requirement, until you showed
up.



You also have no idea what effects wheat may be having on YOU, because
you've never known life without wheat.

And over time, elevated blood sugars can cause diabetes, elevated
LDL-P counts, heart attacks, strokes, fibromyalgia, blindness, etc.

As I reflected in a previous post, millions of people with diabetes do
NOT know they have diabetes.

They, not unlike yourself, prefer to unscrew the engine warning lights
in their "cars."

Good luck with that!

Gee, and I still eat some wheat. *Imagine that!


That's your choice, of course, but others may decide to pursue a much
different way of eating. A healthier way of eating.


I have a couple slices of Pepperidge farms CarbStyle bread,
with a whopping 5g of carb per slice and it's unhealthy?
Healthier according to whom? You? The same guy that
says HIV is harmless? The guy that says HIV doesn't cause
AIDS? The guy that claims no virus can cause cancer?
Given what you think is sound science, why would anyone listen
to you?





Do you have to shill multiple times a *day for the wheat
belly book?


Do you have to shill multiple times a day for a very, very sloppy way
of low-carb eating? Or for BigPharma? Or for ADM? Or for AIDS, Inc?


I'm not the one starting post after post here, many of them about
this wheat belly crap. And I'm not the one with the compelling need
to have the last say on virtually every topic. Go back and look at
who
has started most of the posts for the last few months and who ends
almost
every one. Hint: It's not me. It didn't used to be like that, until
you
showed up.
