You won’t recognize Jennifer

Jennifer provided an update after a year and a half on the Wheat Belly lifestyle:

“A year and a half wheat-free and I am now down 113 pounds!”

“Going wheat-free has been a life changer. At my worst, I was experiencing heartburn, foot pain and swelling, back pain, coughing and headaches. I was afraid to go to the doctor for fear of what he would tell me. The wheezing has stopped, I sleep better at night and I am not having foot pain and swelling. The headaches and heartburn have disappeared completely. I went from not being able to tie my own shoes without getting out of breath to running and working out at Crossfit. Going wheat-free and Paleo has given me the opportunity to live a normal, active life again and to enjoy playing soccer with my kids!”

I believe it is no exaggeration to say that Jennifer’s life has been transformed by her wheat-free lifestyle. Before she engaged in this lifestyle, she was clearly experiencing joint and airway inflammation, disruption of gastrointestinal health, headaches, and was impaired by weight. Look at her now: I’m sure that family, friends, and neighbors barely recognize her!

Jennifer chose to combine her wheat-free lifestyle with some of the additional “paleo” restrictions and exercise, though those added strategies are not always necessary to achieve such extravagant results.

Be sure to add your congratulations to Jennifer here and on the Wheat Belly Facebook page!
