The fact is that not all carbohydrates are created equal. There are bad carbs, which have been implicated in a range of health problems, and there are good carbs, which can help you lose weight while maintaining good health. Within this book, you will learn the truth about carbs: what they are, what they do, and which ones are right for you. You will also learn how a simple blood test can identify the carbs that may be causing weight gain. And you will discover which carbs are best for maintaining a body that is fit and trim. As a bonus, the author offers his American-MediterrAsian dietary plan—an eating strategy that will help you lose weight safely and permanently. So before tossing out the bagels and picking up the bacon, fill up on the facts. Carbs from Heaven, Carbs from Hell can make you a winner in the battle of the bulge.
