At this point I was even more interested in reading Dr. I weighed what I had weighed 9 months pregnant. Needless to say I was shocked by what the scale was screaming back at me.

I knew I had stopped tying my scrub bottoms, and that I had an extra roll hanging over my jeans, but had told myself it wasn’t that big of a deal. I walked out the door from seeing her and jumped on the scale. I am not a big fan of scales and almost never weigh. I would be hangry and feel terrible.” There was just something about her that day that pulled me in. My first reaction was, “fasting? Not for me. In our conversation she educated me on the source of her new found success- Dr. Long story short, when I saw her last year she had lost 45 lbs from the previous year and looked AMAZING! Great skin, sparkling eyes, and just all around healthy. Like many of us she has struggled with weight and tried all of the “diets” and extreme food elimination, finding initial success but eventually “falling off the wagon” and regaining all of the lost weight plus more. Last year just before Christmas I saw a patient that I have known for years. I am always willing to listen, which has taught me a thing or two over the years.

I have learned a great deal from my patients. I still think it is a wonderful lifestyle that can be incorporated with what I am about to explain, but in my experience with patients through the years as well as myself, I have found that any “diet” or extreme food restriction isn’t sustainable in the long haul for most of us. As many of my patients know, I have been an advocate for the Wheat Belly lifestyle for the past 5-6 years. With the beginning of 2020 and the start of a new decade, I wanted to make some updates to my lifestyle page.
