If
smoked salmon and cream cheese omelets, sautéed jumbo shrimp,
and double-patty burgers suit your palate, belly up to the Protein
Power diet: "Not a high protein diet" but "an
adequate protein diet." Doctors Michael R. and Mary Dan
Eades make a persuasive case in favor of "the diet we were
meant to eat."
Similar to Dr. Robert Atkins's New
Diet Revolution, the authors cite insulin as the main
culprit in weight gain and expound the benefits of a diet
extremely low in carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates, which are changed into
sugar during digestion, stimulate the body to store fat, making
weight loss virtually impossible. The most revolutionary idea
put forth in Protein Power is that the fat you eat has
very little bearing on the fat you gain: in other words, we
aren't what we eat after all.
Researchers have found that eating
larger portions of protein in conjunction with severely reduced
portions of carbohydrates causes people to burn the excess fat
stored in their bodies.
Protein Power is packed with helpful charts and
formulas, so you can estimate your body-fat percentage and your
ideal weight for your particular body composition.
There are worksheets to calculate your protein need and
carbohydrate and protein equivalency charts, as well as charts
that allow you to track your fat and weight loss.
But this book is not all grams and percentages: it also
shows you what a day of eating on this diet would look like and
includes sample menus and 70 pages of recipes.
If you've been starving yourself for years and just can't
seem to lose weight, this may be the diet for you. --Jhana

Description
An
effective, medically sound diet that lets you eat bacon, eggs,
steak, even cheese?
It's true! Lose fat. Feel fit. Stop
craving. Without counting fat grams and without giving up the
foods you love.
Based on cutting-edge research, this
revolutionary and deliciously satisfying plan has already helped
thousands of patients lose weight and achieve other lifesaving
health benefits, including lower cholesterol and blood pressure
readings and an improvement or reversal of common disorders such
as heart disease, adult-onset diabetes, and gout.
Developed by Doctors Michael and
Mary Dan Eades, the simple regimen calls for a new way of
eating: a protein-rich, moderate-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that
will have you feeling better and more energetic within a week,
and help correct blood sugar levels, high blood pressure, and
elevated cholesterol within three weeks.
So if you've been living the
low-fat, no-fat way and still haven't lost weight, stop blaming
yourself! Instead, turn to the breakthrough metabolic program
that replaces lifelong dieting with lifelong health.
