quote:
Regardless of your feelings about gluten, wheat, or various fad diets, wheat is a very recent entry into the human diet.
So are a multitude of other foods such as corn, potatoes and tomatoes. Wheat is especially popular in modern diets because it's a ready cheap source of carbohydrates.
Carbs are easily digested and are put to use by the body quickly. Protein, on the other hand, takes time to be digested. It delays hunger longer than carbs for this reason.
A diet higher in protein and fiber than carbs and fat will keep a person at a healthy weight with much less effort than one dominated by carbs.
Whole wheat is an excellent source of insoluble fiber. Fiber is, of course, "nature's broom."

This guy knows what he's talking about.
I have bigger issues with the modified beyond recognition corn that is in almost everything. It's garbage.
Stay away from fads and "diets", don't indulge on fatty meats just because it's gluten free and you think it's all good, and overall it is very simple. BURN MORE THAN YOU CONSUME. Doh.
You gotta exercise.
Most people that fail do so BC they start out full steam ahead and try all or nothing from the get go. It's about phases and progress.
