<p>The editors of <i>Health</i> Magazine (and top nutrition scientists) have big news: Eating carbs is the best way to get and stay slim. Breakthrough research revealed in this book shows how certain carb-rich foods--especially those with the amazing natural ingredient called Resistant Starch--act as powerful metabolism boosters and appetite suppressants. Rather than making you fat and bloated, as decades of low-carb diet gurus claimed, CARBS make you thin. They shrink fat cells, especially in your belly; boost fat burning; increase muscle mass; curb cravings; keep you feeling full longer than other foods; control blood sugar, and lower cholesterol and triglycerides!</p> <p><i>Health</i> Magazine, the expert when it comes to healthy living, takes this revolutionary new science and turns it into an easy-to-follow, real women-tested, dietitian-approved road map proven to melt off 10, 35, even 100 plus pounds forever. Our test kitchen chefs and registered dietitians also developed 85 delicious, simple recipes and foolproof meal plans that help you lose weight while you enjoy the foods you've craved for years.</p> <p>Phase 1 of <i>The CarbLovers Diet</i> eases you back into a world of yummy, satisfying meals and snacks, while dropping weight-especially belly fat-fast and permanently. Phase 2 is nothing short of life-changing: Dieters savor generous portions of their favorite foods (think steak and potato dinners, French toast for breakfast, sandwiches dripping with cheese, chocolate torte for dessert) -while their clothes get loose, their skin glows, their energy soars!</p> <p>Bottom line: <i>The Carb Lovers Diet</i> shows you how to eat your favorite carb-filled foods-and helps you get thinner and happier than you ever imagined. We've included fun-to-follow eating rules, tricks and tips, grocery lists, and amazing recipes anyone can make, enjoy, and share with others. Don't feel like cooking? No problem. We've got hundreds of quick bites, frozen foods and restaurant menu items too. Get ready to feel satisfied, happy, and oh-so-slim. Get ready for your fabulous new life as a CarbLover!.</p>

Sensible balanced diet. DON’T have to stick to 1200 calories! I didn’t & lost 7 lbs in 4 weeks.

I’ve had this book for several years. When I lost it in a move, I decided to buy the Kindle edition. I tried keto. It made me tired, sluggish , & sick. Not to mention my dr said keto held too much fat for those without a gallbladder. I was reluctant to add back in whole grains and resistant starch, but as a semi-vegetarian (i.e. flexitarian), without complex carbs, your choices are limited! I decided to break this book out and give this eating plan a try. First, I feel the need to clear up a misconception. This is NOT a 1200 a day forever diet until you are starving and just can't take it anymore. It’s true the authors, one an editor of Health Magazine the other a registered dietitian, included a 1 week 1200 calorie kickstart, for those who want to jumpstart their weight loss or who want to ease back into eating carbs. But, you don’t have to start there, you can move right on to phase 2, the immersion plan, which is 1600 calories. That’s what I did & I STILL lost 7 lbs in 4 weeks. Not bad for a short 55 year old post menopausal woman! The meal plan was very filling. & on some days I couldn’t eat everything on the plan. Since resistant starch is supposed to fill you up & decrease appetite, I imagine that the 1200 calorie jumpstart (full of resistant starch & lean protein) I may keep you from being hungry better than other 1200 calorie plans. I may go back & try the kickstart week so I can report back on that. The plan has 2 phases: phase 1 a 1200 calorie 7-day kickstart meant to ease you back into eating vitamin & fiber rich complex carbs. Phase 1 consists of 3 meals and 1 snack a day. & Phase 2 - a 1600 calorie a day plan consisting of 3 meals & 2 snacks. Each meal has approximately 400 calories (ranging from 370 - 420 calories) So, for those who are familiar with or are following The 400 Calorie Fix or The Flat Belly Diet, thee meals would fit right in. Each recipe lists the amount of resistant starch. The idea is to get 10+ grams of resistant starch in a day. W...
