Grain Brain…Wheat Belly…Atkins: Dr. McDougall Takes a Stand Against Them & Why

Are you on a “Low Carb-High Protein” Diet? 

Have you tried or are thinking about these popular eating plans?

•  ”Grain Brain” by Dr. David Perlmutter  
•  ”Wheat Belly” by Dr. William Davis  
•  The Atkins Diet

If you answered YES, then keep reading…. 

The famed Dr. John McDougall,pillar of the health and plant-based nutrition community, is taking solid and direct aim at the enormously popular “Grain Brain” Diet by Dr. David Perlmutter, “Wheat Belly” Diet by Dr. William Davis and the Atkins Diet—all heavily-animal derived protein, low carb diets! In his article titled, The Smoke and Mirror Behind Wheat Belly and Grain Brain, Dr. McDougall refutes the claims that form the basis of these diets-–to dramatically cut almost all carbs and load up on animal-based high-fat foods!

The assertions of the benefits of these diets flies right in the face of the plant-based nutrition health plan that Dr. McDougall and many, many physicians in the nutritional field have staked not only their reputations on, but also their own health and the health of their patients and followers on! 

Quoting numerous medical studies and citing the conclusions drawn from the widely-acclaimed research, Dr. McDougall answers many of the questions I actually had after seeing Dr. Perlmutter of “Grain Brain” fame on an episode of Dr. Oz. If you’re interested in these low carb-high animal protein diets, (or maybe you’re on one right now!), you may also be wondering how healthy are they? How can these doctors all claim that their plans are the healthiest?
