Book Description
Until recently, dieticians and doctors believed that a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet was the best way to lose weight. However, new data challenges this simplistic approach to weight loss and shows that such diets can not only undermine metabolism, but may even prompt fat storage. A new medical mindset suggests that controlling blood sugar by limiting the consumption of certain carbohydrates is much more crucial to weight management than previously thought. Moreover, the use of certain "carbohydrate blockers," which prevent the absorption of starch and sugar, can help to safely facilitate weight loss.
