Wheat Tummy Allaine Mark

The Wheat Tummy Diet originated from an epiphany that came to Davis after a family vacation. After seeing his larger stomach, he realized that he needed to make a change in his lifestyle. Through personal observations of his own diet, he realized that carb-rich meals made him feel sluggish and tired, which prompted him to ditch wheat. According to Davis, wheat is a "perfect, chronic poison" due to its over-processing and massive genetic changes over recent decades. In fact, he goes as far as to say that wheat is the main cause of obesity and diabetes in the United States. Davis has referred to today's wheat as being genetically altered and notes that it contains a "new" compound called gliadin that's harmful to health. Gliadin is a protein found in wheat that makes up gluten. Gluten consists of gliadin and another protein known as glutenin, which both help give wheat its soft, flexible structure.
