Note: This blog post mirror may be for historical interest, and perhaps as the focal thread on which to discuss program-related apps, existing or not, and what they might need to offer. The suggestic app is still on the Apple Store, but apparently never was ported to Android as planned. Several of the links in the original blog post were non-functional when this post was mirrored for the PCM.

The Best iPhone App for the Wheat Belly Lifestyle

The Wheat Belly lifestyle is powerful for not only losing weight but for healing many, many chronic health conditions. But it can sometimes be overwhelming to begin a new style of eating.

Luckily, there is now an app that can help you on your journey with my Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox called Suggestic.

If you have struggled to adopt a grain-free lifestyle or are brand new to the Wheat Belly lifestyle, Suggestic can be a massive help in guiding you through the ups and downs of this new and healthy lifestyle. Let me explain what Suggestic is and the advantages of using it.

Going Grain-Free

I’ve seen many begin this adventure. The key is patience–total mastery of the Wheat Belly lifestyle isn’t something you do in a day or a week. Or even, for some, in a month. The Wheat Belly diet, a grain-free and low-carb, high fat nutrition plan, can take time and practice. Eating to remove the grain toxins from your body is just the first step. What comes next is the process of healing your microbiome, hormone and nutrient balances in your body, while reversing inflammation.

The Wheat Belly lifestyle has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. It also retrains your mind and body to no longer depend on carbs and frees you from the proteins in grains that keep you feeling hungry and damage overall health. Cut out the wheat–and all grains– and you can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases as well as lose stubborn pounds and feel–and look–years younger. You dramatically slash chances of getting a long term illness like type 2 diabetes, and look and feel better in the process!

Meet Suggestic

Who hasn’t gone on a diet and wondered if they are following it correctly–even a program as straightforward as my Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox? Lots of times I hear questions like, “How will I know when I’ve hit my carb limit? Or, “Is feeling a little light-headed normal?”

Your iPhone can now support your Wheat Belly lifestyle and help make staying grain-free much easier. Suggestic is the most helpful Wheat Belly diet app that I have found and I have been using personally. I recommend that everyone give it a try.

Customized Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox App

As a young cardiologist, I treated people for heart conditions. Many of them were diabetic or prediabetic so I was thinking a lot about how to teach patients ways to prevent getting so sick. I myself was running 3-5 miles a day and eating well–or so I thought. I looked at my own blood sugars and saw that, even though I thought I was in peak condition, I became a type 2 diabetic! Only after I cut out all wheat and then the other grains did I see the full range of positive results. I got serious about my new approach to eating and nutrient management and have experienced incredible success ever since.

Today, I continue to follow the Wheat Belly lifestyle and enjoy the incredible benefits including improved mental function, higher energy levels, skin as well as optimal digestive health. The Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox was designed to help you experience the Wheat Belly lifestyle, to detox from grains and adapt this super-healthy lifestyle.

Making the Wheat Belly Lifestyle Easier

Following the Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox will be easier for you, too, with the help of Suggestic. Simply go to the Apple app store and download the Suggestic Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox diet app onto your phone. It’s free!

Once you select my Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox, a whole world is unlocked. You can learn all about the science of how detoxing from grains works, how to get started on the program, what to eat and what to avoid, and locate restaurants that have Wheat Belly grain-free options on the menu.

Experience Tracker

This Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox app is not just about eating. Suggestic has great trackers to support other aspects of your life. The team at Suggestic understands that stress, work and other challenges can sometimes derail your best intentions to follow a program. At any time during the day, you can log your mood, how you slept, how much water you’ve had. I’m always curious to look back and see how I felt if I ate something different.

I also notice that if I don’t get 7½ solid hours of sleep, I am definitely more cranky and hungrier. This is a common mistake that this Suggestic app can help you pinpoint.

Stay on top of these non-food aspects and make sure you are getting what you need. On the upside, I also like to note when something was going really well and I could see that, yes, I had good sleep, drank enough water, and was generally in a great mood. Taking my Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox on Suggestic can help you log the aspects of your lifestyle that yield the most success.

My Favorite Features

There are so many amazing features on the Suggestic app that are designed specifically to make everyday eating easy while you are following the Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox. You can log the meals you’ve eaten and track your macros–net carbs are the one and only measure I emphasize in this program–so you’re never wondering how you are doing.

If you’re super busy like I am, you will especially love the grocery list feature. Just tap on the food basket icon and the shopping list for your selected recipe appears. Once you purchase the item, cross it off the list.

Or you can select the breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for your meal plan, then create shopping lists. So easy!

You can further personalize your suggestions by adding filters. Don’t like broccoli? No problem! Just select it as a food to avoid and Suggestic will filter it out for you. That means you won’t see any recipes or restaurant options with broccoli.

When you sign up for my Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox with Suggestic, the extra guidance is amazing. Each day you will receive a fresh set of reminders and supportive emails (if you wish).

You’ll also have access to exclusive recipes that are specially formulated to keep you deliciously full–remember, this detox is not about counting calories! Suggestic aims to solve many of the challenges people face when adopting a grain-free diet.

Getting Started

Once you download Suggestic from the Apple app store (you can download it for free here), you will be guided through each step of the process of getting started. It’s like having a personal nutritionist interview you to determine your goals. The journey for my Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox on Suggestic is a simple program that gently navigates the grain detox process. It gives you exactly what you need to reach optimal health and be successful on the lifestyle. Once you have the essentials set up—a day to begin, foods to buy, etc., then your journey is underway.

It is a comprehensive Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox app that guides you in creating the best plan for your health.

Each day, you will track how you eat and live. The goal is to have no wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley or other grains whatsoever. Also, you will sharply scale back on sugar and other selected sources of carbs. On average, your total net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) per meal should not exceed 15 grams. We NEVER count calories, so feel free to eat healthy fats and proteins. To compensate for deficiencies of modern lifestyles (not of the diet), you will need to supplement with magnesium, iodine, fish oil, salt–yes: salt–and water.

Follow my rules throughout the Detox and you will have great success. After the first few days, with the help of this awesome diet app, the beginning stages become much more manageable.

Nutritional Guidance

Here’s what I love about Suggestic: Preparation is about making sure you have the foods and supplements you need to get through the Detox. And you will also purge your fridge and pantry of anything that has wheat, corn, rice, oats, barley or other grains in it.

This list may surprise you–you will need to read ingredients carefully. I’m not going to give away the complete surprise of the journey here… Every day you will be guided with task lists, emails, instructional video, and lots of food options. If you’re more independent, know that these are optional and you can always pick and choose your way through the recipes, ingredients, and other elements–it’s all meant to support you, not hinder you.

Recipes, Recipes, Recipes!

I also love that Suggestic has all my recipes! Need my favorite dark-chocolate dipped coconut macaroons recipe? It’s there! Craving a healthy-fat snack? Just open the app! Wondering what to make for your family for dinner? No problem!

With the meal planner feature, you can prepare for the week so much more easily. Just select meals for each time and day and you’re all set. The Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox diet app puts together your customized shopping list.

Eat Out Without Worry

I’m often asked about the best Wheat Belly friendly restaurants in the area—no matter where I am. So I open up Suggestic and tap the “Eat Out” button. Endless results appear with all sorts of great info like menu choices are grain-free, how far away, how expensive, even if it’s open at the time I’m searching. Pretty cool.

Also, when I get to a restaurant, if it’s someplace with our augmented reality feature, I can point my phone at the menu, and the app will show me items that fit into the Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox lifestyle or not. I don’t have to wonder what to eat and have less educating to do with my waiter about how to prepare my meal. Such a relief.

Use Your Smartphone to Support Your Lifestyle!

I come to realize how helpful my iPhone actually is in keeping my lifestyle organized and on track. (And don’t worry if you don’t have an iPhone. Suggestic will have an Android version soon. In the meantime, you can get all the latest Wheat Belly lifestyle updates on my website or sign up for my newsletter.

Having Suggestic is super important because it reduces the stress of navigating through a grain-free, healthy lifestyle in a world that is packed with grains and unhealthy. I recommend getting the app and signing up for my Wheat Belly 10-Day Detox. Experience for yourself what I’m so excited about. Once you sign up and put it to work every day, you’ll never regret it.
