Yea, it's not wheat that's making our bellies fat, it's sitting on our fat asses 12 hours a day that's making them fat! Wheat may play some part in it for some people, but for the rest of us there is another solution.
Not completely true. Are some people fat from lack of activity? Yes...but some people are overweight due to sensitivities or allergies to certain types of food.
For 3 months, I removed wheat from my diet.
208lbs to 184lbs. No change in activity. No change in job. I wasn't even on the ice at the time coaching. It was August-October 2013.
Certain foods do things to certain people. For me, gluten and dairy prevent me from digesting my food properly. Bloating, gass and the inability to properly break down the food I've consumed.
I went through this not because of the gluten-free fad but for medical issues I was having with my stomach. My doctor kept testing me (scopes, blood tests) for various things and I finally went to a naturopath doctor who sorted out all of these food sensitivities.
