Fast carbs, slow carbs : the simple truth about food, weight, and disease / David A. Kessler.
"The American body is plagued by obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. In Fast Carbs, Slow Carbs, the follow up to his bestselling book The End of Overeating, Dr. David A. Kessler explains how we can reduce heart disease, keep weight off, and reduce chronic disease"-- Provided by publisher.
Unprecedented numbers of us suffer from obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other debilitating illnesses. The root cause: processed foods. We live in a reality in which processed carbohydrates became our main food source. Kessler explains how eating refined grains such as wheat, corn, and rice leads to a cascade of hormonal and metabolic issues that make it very easy to gain weight and nearly impossible to lose it. We can no longer afford to dismiss the consequences of eating food that is designed to be rapidly absorbed as sugar in our bodies. -- adapted from jacket
