And here I thought the beer was doing it to me..
Tonight, my dental hygienist, who converses with me for the entire appointment about food (she talks more than me, given the circumstances), taught me something new. I learned something about food that I somehow did not contemplate: Wheat is making people fat, and maybe causing more problems than solutions in my life.
And this comes as a shock–as I thought it was good eating wheat cereal and whole wheat pasta..
So my all natural hygienist informed me that William Davis and his research on wheat would be important for me to read. I did.. If Dr. Davis is right, I am doing most things wrong..
According to what I now know in this anti-wheat theory, if I stop eating wheat my stomach will decrease and I will lose my appetite to keep eating more wheat (I do go for second helpings of that wheat pasta when I make it) ..
I also learned that wheat is just about as addictive as anything.. Maybe even cigs and beer?
The theory also contends: Wheat is a trigger of heart attacks.
So much to learn.. so much to eat that’s not wheat.
And Doc Dav concludes this about what the best diet is:
My philosophy is a return to real ingredients. Eggs, vegetables, some fruit, avocados. We should eat regular food and get rid of this notion of processed foods for breakfast. I understand that we have kids and we have people we need to entertain. So I try to recreate foods that are familiar to people. I show people how to make pizza, muffins, cookies, chocolate éclairs. We use benign ingredients. We don’t use wheat, gluten-free carbohydrates, or sugar. You can turn something like coffee cake into something that’s benign and healthy. Life is good without wheat.
Hmm.. a one ingredient diet.
Where did I hear that one before.. hmmm???
