While the explanation of the dangers of wheat from Dr. Davis' book "Wheat Belly" is accurate, the recipes in this book do not follow his daily plan.  But his plan is NOT just about no wheat.  It is also low sugar fruits, dairy and full fat eggs and using healthy oils.For example, Dr. Davis says no high sugar fruits and to eat only the berries kind of fruit. This author has both an apple and applesauce in a muffin recipe with oats (a to be avoided food item) and skim milk which is a no-no because it has milk sugar (lactose) and Dr. Davis says no sugar.Another muffin recipe does have almond meal instead of more common flours but it also has a cup of sugary mashed bananas, a No-No.In his first book explaining the plan, he had balsamic vinegar as okay.  In his subsequent book, because balsamic is extremely high in sugar, he warns against it.One of  the pancake recipes has maple syrup (a sugar no-no) and skim milk again (a milk sugar no-no) plus more applesauce.The next recipe has again honey another sugar no-no.The next recipe has applesauce again plus honey plus chocolate chips.Dr. Davis also recommends 15 net carb grams per meal which would be difficult with all his high sugar breakfast recipes and high sugar fruits,chocolate chips, etc.The lunch section is a little better because you can leave out the honey and balsamic vinegar he puts into his "Honey Balsamic Chicken Wraps".Basically because he doesn't stick to the diet plan of Dr. Davis this would not be a great starter recipe collection in my opinion.  There are too many corrections you have to make to stick with the Wheat Belly Diet plan of Dr. Davis.I've been following Dr. Davis' plan since June.  My lipids are all in the normal ranges after 6 months. My triglycerides are 133 down from 249. My A1c is down from 7.2 in June to 5.8 in December.  My weight is down by 25 pounds. You can't do these things if you follow these recipes.  I LOVE Mangoes (as in his Mango Salsa on Halibut) but I'd rather have my eyesight, kidney function and liver and lips normal than eat any kind of sugary fruit. Too bad this author didn't get that idea out of Dr. Davis' plan.  I did.
