Thin for Good: The One Low-Carb Diet That Will Finally Work for You

Manufacturer: Lifeline Press Brand: Flynn, Mary

Most of the time they are boring, tasteless, and leave you feeling hungry -- and they can even be harmful to your health. Those trendy high-fat fad diets like Atkins and Sugar Busters are just as bad. Now, this book gives you the truth about food and fat, and the key to losing weight while staying healthy.

They recommend--no surprise--the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in seafood and fresh fruits and vegetables, and is saturated with olive oil. Unlike other books that recommend this diet, though, Low-Fat Lies actually explains the science validating it. The authors explain the antioxidant properties of olive oil, and tell you why you don't want your cells to oxidize in the first place. (Same reason you don't want your car to rust.) But that's not to imply that Low-Fat Lies is bogged down in science. The concepts are easily understandable for regular folks, which is a very good thing, considering how many of us fall prey to junk science masquerading as a "breakthrough" diet. Moving even farther away from theory, the book includes 40 pages of recipes from to...
