| The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, which is dedicated to "the untold numbers of carbohydrate addicts who, deep down, have always known that it was not their fault." And in 1998, with the publication of Potatoes, Not Prozac, Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph.D., also garnered a following for her sugar-is-addictive conclusions. |
| Usually upon a judge's order, she began putting the prisoners on a diet that banned sugar, white-flour products, chemical additives, caffeine, and alcohol, and stressed fresh vegetables, fruits, water, healthy fats, lean meats, and fish.
"The results were astounding," she says. "Their behavior completely changed." A whopping 80 percent of probationers went on to become "productive members of society"—a complete reversal of the typical 70 to 85 percent recidivism rates.
It seems then that for certain people, aggression and blood sugar abnormalities go hand in hand. |

Tom, 52, similarly describes Steve, 48, his partner of 22 years. "When he was under the spell of sweets, everything would take a backseat to sugar. It was frightening, pronounced, and sinister to see this new person enter his body after he binged on sugar."
Robyn also offers a compelling before-and-after portrait of her dad, Robert F., 43, of Longmont, Colorado, who used to eat a lot of sugar.
"A cloud has lifted off him since he quit sweets," she told me in a phone interview. "He's more charismatic, personable, relaxed, energetic, and funny. |

 Carbohydrates: The Benefits of Soluble Fiber
Any mention of carbohydrates throws many people into a state of confusion: there are so-called good and bad carbs, complex carbs, high- and low-fiber carbs, sugars and starches, and so on. We will cut through the carb confusion and provide you some practical tips so you can break free of the bonds of food-restriction thinking.
Our eating plan maximizes carbohydrate sources that are rich in soluble fiber. |

| It isn't simply that a jelly donut tastes good to you and you'd like to have it," he explained in Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution. "No, your body absolutely roars with anxiety and passion for that jelly donut. And then you know. You've activated an addiction, just like an alcoholic with his bottle.
"This isn't shameful, it's physical, it's chemical, it's metabolic, and that's precisely why you must avoid it," he wrote. "Most of you already know that for a significant portion of your life carbohydrates have been stronger than you. Don't trifle with them."

 Cut back on sugars and refined carbs. These foods include sweets, candies, energy bars, cereals, pastas, breads, and pizza. Sugars and refined carbs are used to make many processed foods, so you will have to give up most foods in boxes, jars, and other packages. These foods trigger rapid increases and decreases in blood sugar, which leave you feeling tired and wanting caffeine as a stimulant.
Don't eat late dinners, and don't eat any food after 7:30 p.m. |

 I think you need carbs. In fact, I'm writing a book on this called The Food Timing Diet based on the idea of using macronutrient cycling to use these complex carbs throughout the day at frequent intervals in order to keep your brain functioning at its peak performance level. At the same time, you don’t get so many carbs on this diet that you overload your pancreas or suffer from wild blood sugar swings.
In fact, in my experience, if you eat more frequently, and if you eat smaller portions, you get this incredible boost of energy throughout the day without any stimulants whatsoever. |

 Eat nothing that says "low carbs" or "net carbs" on the label.
This is the current hot button. The biggest scam going now is the term "net carbs." Manufacturers load up these products with chemicals and artificial sweeteners that they claim have negligible results on insulin levels, so they do not count these real carbohydrates in the net carb number. A product that says it has two net carbs could have as many as forty grams of real carbohydrates. Do not buy these products, as you know that the manufacturers are simply trying to take advantage of the current fad to sell you their products. |

 Eat Less, Move More
An the things you read in fad diet books about how important it is to eat fewer carbs, better quality protein and how to combine different foods, do not mean a thing if your caloric intake exceeds your caloric expenditure. It makes no difference how many grams of carbs, fats or proteins you adjust in your diet, if you are consuming more calories than you are burning. Gaining weight is a simple process. Each pound of weight gained comes from 3,500 excess calories. |

| The chief determinant of the glycemic index of a particular food is the speed at which it is digested. carbs that break down into glucose quickly raise blood sugar sharply. Slow-digesting carbs keep blood sugar levels on an even keel.
What determines the speed of digestion? A food's particle size. The smaller the particles, the faster the food is digested and the higher its glycemic index.
Milling, baking, cooking in water and other forms of processing increase starch gelatiniza-tion, which increases the glycemic index. That's why processed foods have high glycemic indices. |

 Good carbs, Bad carbs. It seems we all love carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates, such as found in brown rice, whole wheat, rye, oats, barley, millet, whole fruits, and vegetables are high in borh fiber and vitamin content and therefore the preferred form of carbohydrates. Refined carbohydrates, on the other hand, must be placed in the group of unhealthy foods. Sugar, a refined carbohydrate, is a significant factor in the development of atherosclerosis.125
High-sugar diets lead to elevations in triglycerides and cholesterol and also to an increase in insulin production. |

 For the industry it's obviously preferable to have a scientific rationale for further processing foods—whether by lowering the fat or carbs or by boosting omega-3 s or fortifying them with antioxidants and probiotics—than to entertain seriously the proposition that processed foods of any kind are a big part of the problem.
For the medical community too scientific theories about diet nourish business as usual. |
| This is counterintuitive, because fats contain nearly twice as many calories as carbs (9 per gram for fats as compared to 5 for either carbohydrates or protein) . The theory is that refined carbohydrates interfere with insulin metabolism in ways that increase hunger and promote overeating and fat storage in the body. (Call it the carbohydrate hypothesis; it's coming.)* If this is true, then there is no escaping the conclusion that the dietary advice enshrined not
*Gary Taubes describes the developing carbohydrate hypothesis at great length in Good Calories, Bad Calories. |
| Basically what we did was heap a bunch more carbs onto our plate, obscuring but by no means replacing the expanding chunk of (now skinless white) animal protein still sitting there in the middle.
How did that happen? I would submit that the ideology of nutritionism deserves as much of the blame as the carbohydrates themselves do—that and human nature. |
| EAT RIGHT, GET FATTER
In fact, we did change our eating habits in the wake of the new guidelines, endeavoring to replace the evil fats at the top of the food pyramid with the good carbs spread out at the bottom. The whole of the industrial food supply was reformulated to reflect the new nutritional wisdom, giving us low-fat pork, low-fat Snackwell's, and all the low-fat pasta and high-fructose (yet low-fat!) corn syrup we could consume. Which turned out to be quite a lot. |
| That's why when the Atkins diet storm hit the food industry in 2003, bread and pasta got a quick redesign (dialing back the carbs; boosting the proteins) while poor unreconstructed potatoes and carrots were left out in the carbohydrate cold. (The low-carb indignities visited on bread and pasta, two formerly "traditional foods that everyone knows," would never have been possible had the imitation rule not been tossed out in 1973. Who would ever buy imitation spaghetti? But of course that is precisely what low-carb pasta is. |
| For while it is true that Americans post-1977 did shift the balance in their diets from fats to carbs so that fat as a percentage of total calories in the diet declined (from 42 percent in 1977 to
34 percent in 1995), we never did in fact cut down on our total consumption of fat; we just ate more of other things. We did reduce our consumption of saturated fats, replacing them, as directed, with polyunsaturated fats and trans fats. Meat consumption actually held steady, though we did, again as instructed, shift from red meat to white to reduce our saturated fat intake. |

| A diet lower in starchy carbs and higher in healthy prorein is an important strategy for women with PCOS, whether they are overweight or not.
A holistic approach to treatment requires exploring the mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects of the patient integrated with a meticulous medical approach employing mind-body-oriented perspectives. Specific dietary counseling may be warranted, and practitioners may find themselves in the unusual position of advocating an increase in cholesterol and other fats in the diet and counseling patients to gain weight or exercise less. |

| Three scientists formulated a beverage that replaced the electrolytes and carbs. They called it "Gatorade®."18 It helped the players play longer. It gave them a boost of energy and confidence. Gatorade helped them win and the athletes of the world took notice.
Check out the drink aisle in the grocery store the next time you are shopping and count the number of manufacturers that have climbed aboard this money train. In fact, Gatorade and other sports drinks are so popular that both sports teams and most individual athletes keep these drinks close by during competition to enhance performance. |

 Because they're rarely seen in parts of the world where high-fiber diets are the norm, it's been hypothesized that the typical Western diet—high in junk carbs and fats and low in fiber—is partly to blame.
One theory is that low-fiber diets produce constipation and straining on the toilet. People eating low-fiber diets pass smaller and harder stools, and the straining increases pressure in veins. |

| This is followed with approximately 500 grams of clean carbs per day such as yams and pasta. The carb loading process flushes glycogen back into the depleted muscle cells and creates that full, vascular look.
What this entire process illustrates is why most initial weight loss reduction from a diet is the result of dramatically reducing the number of carbohydrates consumed, causing your body to follow the same pattern as the bodybuilder who starts to burn stored glycogen for energy. |
| It makes no difference how many grams of carbs, fats or proteins you adjust in your diet, if you are consuming more calories than you are burning. Gaining weight is a simple process. Each pound of weight gained comes from 3,500 excess calories. Every day you burn a certain number of calories just by living and breathing (your Basal Metabolic Rate also known as BMR), and the more you move through activities such as walking, exercise or movement of any type the more calories you burn beyond what your body will deplete just by being alive. |
