Wheat Belly - Get rid of the grains

Still having problems with weight and food. Depression, mood swings, energy, stiffness, sleep probelms, thinning hair, skin issues, bags under eyes, resp allergies, joint subluxations, etc. I recently found Wheat Belly by William Davis. I feel like I've found the holy grail. I've been following his guidelines for three days. His guidelines are no wheat or junk carbs...like corn starch, potato starch, rice starch, etc. And he gives you recipes for "breads" that you can eat. Makes me feel more normal being able to eat a sandwich again. Yesterday I felt like a huge weight was lifted off me. My depression is gone! My head fog is gone! My vision seems clearer! I have more energy! My knee stopped hurting after a week of "why is my knee hurting?" Today I actually feel almost manic. I'm so excited and a little nervous. I hope this is really how I'll be able to feel not just something I'll "come down" from. I feel like dancing. I haven't felt this good in I don't know how long!!! I hope to lose weight with this program also. I've gained 25 back that I had lost 3 years ago. I'm confident it's coming off though. :) I just have to work through any issues with eggs my body has. The reasons Dr. Davis tells us about why people have are having so many problems makes so much sence to me. It's not really about food allergies and a problem with my body. It's about a problem with our food system and nutritional information. Check his Wheat Belly book or lectures for more details on this. It just feels so right like the missing piece has been found. Time will tell.
