More about the book
It's time to face facts. Low-fat diets don't work. Thousands of dieters on low-fat, high-carbohydrate regimes gain back their weight and more. Why? Because the culprit isn't too much fat, it's too much sugar—and low-fat food is full of it. In truth, sugar causes the production of insulin, which in large amounts, prevents weight loss. Just look at the ingredients on your favorite foods: sugar is everywhere. So how can you possibly avoid it? This revolutionary new diet plan based on sound nutritional principles steers you away from insulin-stimulating foods such as potatoes and pasta—and leads you toward a sensible consumption of delicious foods such as red meat and red wine, once considered taboo. Simple, practical and easy to adapt to your busy lifestyle, it includes a 14-day meal plan and easy to create gourmet recipes.
