Are you gluten-free or dairy-free? If so, you might not have to be. Eat Wheat is a scientific and clinically-proven approach to addressing food intolerances. After 3.4 million years of eating wheat and only 500,000 years of hunting meat, humans are actually genetically better equipped to eat wheat than meat. This book is your guide to safely bringing wheat and dairy back into your diet. Dr. John Douillard, a former NBA nutrition expert and creator of LifeSpa.com, and author of six health books, addresses the underlying cause of the gluten-free epidemic. Eat Wheat explains how a breakdown in digestion has damaged the intestinal wall and leaked undigested foods and environmental toxins into the body’s lymphatic system, causing “grain brain” symptoms and food allergies. Although eliminating wheat and dairy from your diet may help your symptoms, it is a a temporary solution. Eat Wheat addresses the root cause: the inability to digest well and break down harmful pollutants and toxins that can lead to more serious health concerns. Backed by more than 600 scientific studies, Eat Wheat is a revolutionary guidebook to regaining your digestive strength. Eat Wheat will: Reveal hidden science on the benefits of wheat and dairy Help you navigate around food toxins in modern wheat and dairy Retrain your body to digest wheat and dairy again Flush congested lymphatics linked to food intolerance symptoms Teach you to follow natural digestive circadian cycles Help bring your blood sugar back into balance Teach you proven exercise and detox techniques to re-boot strong digestion and achieve optimal health and vitality

For years, cardiologist Arthur Agatston, M.D., urged his patients to lose weight for the sake of their hearts, but every diet was too hard to follow or its restrictions were too harsh. Some were downright dangerous. Nobody seemed to be able to stick with low-fat regimens for any length of time. And a diet is useless if you can't stick with it.So Dr. Agatston developed his own. The South Beach Diet isn't complicated, and it doesn't require that you go hungry. You'll enjoy normal-size helpings of meat, poultry, and fish. You'll also eat eggs, cheese, nuts, and vegetables. Snacks are required. You'll learn to avoid the bad carbs, like white flour, white sugar, and baked potatoes. Best of all, as you lose weight, you'll lose that stubborn belly fat first!Dr. Agatston's diet has produced consistently dramatic results (8 to 13 pounds lost in the first 2 weeks!) and has become a media sensation in South Florida. Now, you, too, can join the ranks of the fit and fabulous with The South Beach Diet. The verdict is in: those simple carbs we've been living on are killing us. For good health, we've got to get our blood sugar under control and stop the incessant cravings. Or so says Dr. Arthur Agatston, author of The South Beach Diet. The first half of the book details the science behind the diet. Most of the explanations revolve around why things you thought were healthy—-orange juice, wheat toast, carrots—-are actually evil. To avoid blood sugar surges, Agatston created a modified carbohydrate plan, recommending plenty of high-fiber foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while cutting bread, rice, pastas, and fruits. Major differences from other diets include a lack of concern over portion size and a serious indifference to exercise. Feeling full while on a diet is a beautiful thing, but it seems odd that a cardiologist buries his exercise recommendations in a solitary sentence. The last half of the book covers his three-stage plan; daily diets are mixed with recipes, some of which are from South Beach restau...

Beat bloat and discomfort with the scientifically proven, easy-to-follow, low-FODMAP plan.There are a lot of myths about beating stomach bloat and getting a flat tummy, but the FODMAP approach has been scientifically proven to work for both. FODMAPs are sugars found in certain foods that can be hard to digest, and can cause discomfort, gas, and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) symptoms. Some of the most nutritious foods around are high in these sugars, frustrating people who eat well but still have tummy issues. Apples, garlic, onions, beans, dairy, bread, and cereals are on that list. It may sound complicated or far-fetched but the many converts who have tried the science-supported diet swear by it. In addition to useful everyday advice, the book includes:The differences and similarities between this diet and a gluten-free diet7-day sample menu plan with recipesSimple and easy recipes for the basic items you need to adapt to fit into the low-FODMAP diet, including staples like salad dressing, marinade, and dipsClear explanations for the science behind the low-FODMAP diet and why it works 40 color photographs

“The Simplest Alkaline Diet Guide for Beginners + 46 Easy Recipes” Did you know that our blood pH must stay within a very small range, otherwise death or a serious illness can occur? Our bodies have a wonderful maintenance system to keep our blood in balance which is necessary for healthy human function. This system protects our blood, despite the circumstance, even at the cost of our own tissues. When our tissues become acidic, that in turn can result in improper function of some major systems, including; digestion, organ, repair from injury, and skin integrity. PH is really important to our bodies and there’s a quick way to check if It’s in balance and if it isn’t there’s also an easy way to fix it. Our body’s internal system requires a pH just over 7. We call this range; alkaline. (For example, dogs have an acid pH range that is on the lower end of the scale). Since we are human, our immunologic, enzymatic, and repair systems all function at their peak in this alkaline range. However, our metabolic processes - the processes of tissue repair, living, and food metabolism, produce a great deal of acid. To be able to maintain the alkaline state in our bodies, we need to be equipped with a few tools. These tools are all around us; water, oxygen, and acid-buffering minerals. That is why, this book runs about Alkaline diet which is also known as the alkaline ash or acid-alkaline diet. It is based around the idea that the foods you eat can affect the alkalinity or acidity (the pH balance) in the body. As it turns out, this ash can be acidic, neutral, or alkaline and enthusiasts of this diet, say that this ash can precisely alter the acidity of the body. So, eating foods that contain acidic ash makes your body acidic and if you eat foods that contain alkaline ash, it makes your body alkaline. Neutral ash has no effect. The alkaline diet is healthy because it is based on real and not processed foods that are abundant in the western world. It has absolutely nothing to do...
