Hi Everyone!
Since this is a blog about beauty, lifestyle, health, and books, I thought I can talk about health today! I decided to tell you about this new lifestyle choice I have made in case any of you are interested in trying it. My mom showed me this book called Wheat Belly by William Davis. The reason she showed me this is because I have stomach problems and she thought that doing this lifestyle change might help.
It has been four days since I took wheat out of my diet. And I bet some are you thinking that I am crazy for taking wheat out of my diet because it is in almost everything but I decided that if this could help my stomach problems, why not try it. You will have to read the book to fully understand the concept of the wheat belly. But basically this doctor, William Davis, would be taking care of people who had high blood pressure, diabetes, and other health issues. He told them to take wheat out of their diet and start exercising and drinking more water and see what happens. In months, these patients lost 10 - 20 pounds and their blood pressure went down and for some patients their diabetes went away. Now I am telling you the summary of this book but I highly suggest you borrow it from the library or buy it because it is very fascinating.
Now on to how I have cut wheat out. I got the cookbook that he made. Wheat Belly 30 Minute Cookbook. It helped so much because it gave you a list of ingredients that you would need to take out of your kitchen or add to your kitchen. Then it gives you recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and desert. My dad and I cooked my family the Caribbean Shrimp and Rice. It was delicious. Add some Sirachi. Perfection.
But if you do not want to buy the cookbook, you need to start looking at all the ingredients in everything you get. Unless it's like veggies or rice or beans. I will give you some examples on what I have now added to my kitchen:
Blueberries
Kind Bars (Dark chocolate and peanut butter is my favorite)
Garden Veggie Straws
Pop Corners
Dark Chocolate covering fruit like blueberries and cherries( My favorite are from Costco)
Cherry Tomatoes
Edamame
Mango
Hummus
Those are few of the things that I have added to my kitchen.
I also highly suggest that you start adding vitamins in your diet. I take fish oil, Vitamin E, and Evening Primrose Oil.
If there are any questions you have about the Wheat Belly Diet or just about health, please feel free to ask. I just want to say I am not an expert but I am starting this new lifestyle and maybe some of you could join me.
Carpe Diem,
Sophie
