Modern Dietetics are finally opening up to the benefits of low carbohydrate diets There exist populations today who do not depend on carbohydrates for daily energy, despite its labeling as a critical dietary component Carbohydrates are at the root of insulin insensitivity, and the associated medical conditions including diabetes Contrary to popular belief, fat is not necessarily bad when predominantly used in the diet as the main energy source The feared effects of the switchover to using fats for fuel are imaginary and easily avoided Your body can learn to use fats as primary fuel sources (ketone adaptation), a shift that can provide better health, slow diabetes There are plenty of foods and recipes to support a high fat, low carbohydrate diet- you just have to start living this dream
Book Summary Overview
"The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living" is for both the person handling diabetes or experiencing carbohydrate intolerance, as well as for the healthy person who wants to fortify their health and avoid these diseases and conditions through adopting a revolutionary diet lifestyle that is equally rewarding.
