"Dieting is like holding your breath," NBC News medical correspondent Bob Arnot writes in his introduction. "You can only do it so long." His book details ways to eat a lot of food but still get lean. He recommends long lists of "hard" foods--those that your body has to work to process and put to use--and "soft" foods, which make you fat. There's also quite a bit about using foods to manipulate the neurotransmitters that control moods, like serotonin, which can make us feel good about ourselves, and dopamine, which makes some feel alert and productive. A well-written and thorough dietary sourcebook.
Dr. Bob Arnot's Revolutionary Weight Control Program FROM THE PUBLISHER
A plethora of recent discoveries by the world's premier scientists has ushered in a new era in weight control, and Dr. Arnot is the first to synthesize their findings into a comprehensive, effective program. Here you will find cutting-edge information on negative-ion generators, dawn simulators, nutritional supplements, and, most important, glucose loads. For reasons clearly explained, foods that your body rapidly converts to glucose lead inexorably to weight gain - the worst culprits being foods with high levels of starch or refined sugar. Instead, you should be consuming "hard foods" - ones with high soluble fiber. Eating such foods keeps you feeling full, energized, and healthy while you shed pounds. With chapters and charts on everything from Feedforward eating (a complete plan for what to eat - and when - over the course of each day) to identifying foods that can help to make you thin, Dr. Bob Arnot's Revolutionary Weight Control Program is more than just another diet book - it's a way of life, a new way of thinking about food, that will change the way you look and feel for years to come.
