I stopped eating wheat and eat cold potatoes and hummus which have resistant starches that help gut flora. Didn't mention it because it sounds hokey but worked for me. Lost 20 pounds too without even trying. I will eat pizza maybe once a week or less but that's it. My girlfriend calls me The Martian because of all the potatoes I eat.
