The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet: The Lifelong Solution to Yo-Yo Dieting

Very well written book by 2 doctors who have used this diet to lose weight..This book explains in details the reasons why we crave for carbohydated food and the whole system behind blood sugar level i.e insulin getting high thus giving our brain messages that we are not full, even after having a full meal!! The book tells u little story about obese people who have tried the CArbohydrated addict's diet and have lost weight, not temporarily but its for a lifetime. The diet basically comprises of having 2 Complementary meals a day, with low fat,no carbs and high fibre content and one Reward meal a day in which you can eat "whatever" you like and in whatever quantity you like, you can even have 2 desserts. However the REward meal has to be completed within one hour. Basically the aim of this diet is to change the metabolic events by eating 2 low carbs meal(the complementary meals) which will help in releasing less insulin, so less fat is stored and more fat is used up. When the level of insulin goes low it will allow the brain chemical to act as an appetite regulator and will send a message to your brain that you are now full.The book gives some nice recipes too, a chart to write down your weight and simple and clear instructions to follow. I would recommend this book to anyone who is actually a carbohydrate addict. I love chocolate, all types of breads, which i would normally completely eliminate in other that i have tried in the past. I am trying this diet now in order to shift the last couple of pounds left without having to eliminate my favourite food, which i know i can have once a day a part of my REward meal everyday and still manage to lose weight. On my fourth day of this diet, i have a lost a pound already. The lost of weight has to be slow and steady. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a carbohydrate lover and wants to lose weight without having to deprive themselves from their favourite food.
