No, I haven’t read those, I am speaking purely from experience.
I don’t remember where I heard about skipping wheat, but I gave it a try after I experienced allergic reaction (severe itching) that was ‘fixed’ by Benadryl- indicating an allergy
So by process of elimination (i am an actual scientist) I determined it to be from wheat (or possibly the chemicals they allow to be put on wheat)
When I stopped eating wheat 2 things happened immediately- 1) my stomach deflated like a balloon
2) I was no longer hungry all the time, and snacking al day long.
My general health improved over time too- after I added vitamins and minerals too. (especially vitamin D and magnesium)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!..........
Everything you describe is in those two books..............and more!...........
Avoid all grains, wheat, barley, rye, rice, corn. We are not cows...............
