Finally, someone gets it right

It took deep insight and not a little bravery for Dr. Anthony to expose the Atkins, Willetts et alia for the gravy-train jumpers they are. In an era when anyone with a PR agent can have a best-seller of a fad diet, when a weatherman gets his stomach stapled and suddenly becomes a highly paid expert on food and diet, having a clear, concise handbook on carbs and weight management that anyone can follow and really make work is life-ring for all who have suffered under the status quo.

Satisfying hunger efficiently

This book presents one basic idea and then shows you how to put it into practice. Your body is hungry for five different kinds of nutrients. The key to having enough energy and controlling your weight is to satisfy each hunger with high quality food. In the case of starch, you provide quality by cooking at lower rather than higher temperature. So, boiling produces more nutritious food than baking, and your hunger is satisfied sooner and longer. How do you know what type of food you're hungry for? The book has nutritional "experiments" designed to let you experience each specific hunger.There are also good discussions of the best items in each food group, and some interesting recipes.
