 Good
Carbs, Bad Carbs
BodyLogicMD
Review:
The appeal
of this book is that it is a quick
and easy read. Good Carbs/Bad Carbs
effectively and efficiently reviews
the roles of carbohydrates, proteins
and fats and how they impact your
body and your metabolism.
Summary:
High-protein,
low-carb diets continue to entice
millions of Americans, yet obesity
rates continue to skyrocket and
confusion reigns about whether we
should even be eating carbs at all.
Now, nutritionist Johanna Burani
and health writer Linda Rao make
a clear, concise, and persuasive
case for carbs as an essential part
of every diet. Burani and Rao explain
how to use the glycemic index to
distinguish between carbs and identify
those carbs that are best for losing
weight and staying healthy.
Their
plan allows readers to "diet"
without the negative side effects—hunger
pangs, headaches, and irritability—from
which many dieters suffer. Illustrated
with 15 charts and divided into
easy-to-read sections that address
specific audiences—including
diabetics, people with heart disease,
and children—Good Carbs, Bad
Carbs will prove to be an indispensable
guide for everyone who strives to
look and feel their best.
