review 1: As a physician, I understand the theoretical principles that motivated this book. I find the notion of a diet using ancient grains and eschewing modern wheat to be potentially healthier and more natural. However, in his enthusiasm, the author promises the moon- and ends up sounding like one of those patent medicine sellers of the 1800s who promoted their potions as a panacea. I did not see enough hard science to back up most of his claims.
review 2: While this book contains a lot of interesting insight and recipes, I find myself highly suspect of just how nutritious and balanced this diet really is. I was very disappointed to find that most of the recipes (almost all but the breads and deserts) are highly meat and dairy based. while dairy is good for you... more, cheese in large quantities is not. I find this book to be of the Atkins style, and I never truly bought into the Atkins diet. Unlike Atkins though, the wheat belly diet does not shame fruit. I am vegetarian so that also limits just how much of this diet I can follow. I will be taking from this book what I can use and throwing out the rest.A side note: The first hundred pages or so are information based and not recipes. While there is some good information, the majority of it is science and technical stuff. I found myself skipping over most of it and just jumping to the parts that actually had to do with cooking. less
