| Synopsis Claiming that carbohydrates make people fat, Dr. Atkins reasons that by restricting carbohydrates, people can reduce their body's production of insulin--the hormone that converts excess carbohydrates to fat--and, as insulin levels drop, the body loses its ability to store fat. Thus, Dr. Atkins' diet plan, which he claims can help a dieter lose weight within 14 days without experiencing hunger, promotes the consumption of foods that are very low in carbohydrates and high in fat--such as meats and other animal proteins--and strongly discourages the consumption of carbohydrate-rich grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Publisher's Note A cardiologist discusses the causes of metabolic imbalance, introducing his low-carbohydrate diet and offering suggestions about eating habits. | See an error? Submit a change request | ||||||||||||||||
