Ayla

The best part about Ayla’s story is how she finally learned that eating fat does NOT make you fat, a message I’ve working hard to spread. – Dr. Perlmutter I can personally attest to the drastic affects one experiences after removing wheat, grains and added sugar from her diet. I have lost 68 pounds (the first 55 pounds dropped within 6 months without exercise…simply from eliminating those 3 categories). More important though, is that most of my adult life I have been plagued by ridiculously high triglycerides.  When I first began reading Wheat Belly, my triglycerides were 546. On my lab results prior to that, they were 656. Within approximately 6 months of eliminating wheat, grains and sugar, in addition to my plummeting weight, my triglycerides dropped to 115. I don’t ever remember them being that low! Until I actually tried this for myself, I too believed that fat made you fat and that it was the cause of my high triglycerides. The only thing I never understood was why, when I ate very little fat, exercised like crazy and made sure to eat plenty of complex healthy whole grains, that both my weight and triglycerides continued to climb. Every time I received my lab results. I felt like a failure…it was like bringing home a bad report card when I had really tried my best. -Ayla The post Ayla appeared first on David Perlmutter M.D..
