Going Against The Grain: How Reducing And Avoiding Grains Can Revitalize Your Health

Description

This book challenges conventional dietary wisdom - that grains should be the centerpiece of our diet - and presents cutting-edge scientific information, in easy-to-understand terms, on the surprising nutritional problems of grains - and the grain connection to conditions such as obesity, diabetes, Syndrome X, autoimmune disorders, celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, grain allergies, and digestive problems. Features include dozens of easy-to-fix, wheat-free, gluten-free and grain-free recipes, three different menu plans, label reading tips, suggestions on what to order in restaurants, and advice for dealing with the practical, social and psychological challenges of eating against the grain.
