If you've been a yo-yo dieter for years or if
you can eat a pound of pasta at one sitting, this book may
very well be an eye opener. In simple--but never
condescending--language, it explains the roots of carbohydrate
cravings and teaches you how to normalize your insulin levels
to prevent future food binges. Regulated insulin levels in
turn help to temper serotonin levels, so food cravings and
mood swings are prevented. The authors, both research
scientists (one a health psychologist, the other a
pathologist), have lost and kept off a total of 200 pounds
between them. They've based this book on nearly a decade's
worth of research, during which they've helped nearly 80
percent of their patients lose weight and keep it off for at
least a year.
They explain that carbohydrate addicts most
commonly crave popcorn, breads, bagels, rice, pasta, potatoes,
ice cream, chocolate, pie, cookies, crackers, cake, fruit and
fruit juice, potato chips, and pretzels. A questionnaire at
the beginning of the book determines if you're indeed a
carbohydrate addict, and if so, to what extent. (For those
readers whose quiz doesn't indicate addiction, but who are
bothered by their food cravings, the authors recommend a
doctor's visit for an explanation.) The book includes a diet
plan with dozens of easy recipes, a chart of the carbohydrate
content of many common foods, and lists of binge triggers to
watch for. The most appealing part of the diet--and one reason
that it wins raves from its followers--is its once-a-day
reward meal, which allows you to eat anything you want. The
authors also offer helpful tips for incorporating the diet
away from home, such as at parties and restaurants.
