The Carbohydrate's Diet
This book has revolutionized my life! I am 51 years old and have been on diets since high school. Many of them over and over again. You wouldn't think that I should weigh over 200 lbs with all that dieting! But this diet addressed my carbohydrate addiction. Something I had never heard before. The diets I had been on before had me eating lots of the things I was addicted to, and had my family wondering, "Why can't she lose weight?" and, "She could be so pretty." When I started on "the diet", the first thing I rejoiced about was the fact that I was finally in control of what and when I ate. That was the most significant change in my life. Besides the fact that now I was eating the things that I had always wanted to eat in the first place! I don't experience those familiar cravings 2 hours after I eat a meal. I am satisfied at night and I'm not thinking about what I could eat after dinner,(until bedtime!) I have lost 18 lbs in 8 weeks and for the first time I'm not thinking, "as soon as I reach my goal, I'm going off this diet". This is something that I want to continue for the rest of my life, because my blood pressure is down and I won't get Adult onset Diabetes like my father has. I am so thankful for this discovery, that is isn't a matter of "willpower", but BIOLOGY! I love the new me!
