Got Wheat Belly? The new muffin top

Saturday, April 21, 2012

Do I want to lose 26.7 pounds? My Prevention Daily Newsletter told me that's the average weight lost when wheat is removed from a diet.

Ever heard of wheat belly? Neither had I. It's the new phrase to describe the ring around the belly, otherwise lovingly referred to as the muffin top. The trend among doctors now is to 'give up the wheat,' and I've often described it as the yeast.

It's all the same. Or rather, the results are the same. When the wheat is given up, the pounds go away.

Here is the quote:


Just how powerful is this wheat-free approach? “When my patients gave up wheat, they lost an average of 26.7 pounds each,” says Dr. Davis. This isn't an isolated finding: According to a Mayo Clinic and University of Iowa study, test subjects lost an average of 27.5 pounds each on a wheat-free diet. 


I know I'll be revealing one of my great sources of info, but signing up for the Prevention Newsletter gives me recipes, tips and info that I love to share with others. You can get all the insights I don't pass along, like maybe, donut belly.
