From Publishers Weekly:
Ever heard of a fat caveman? Today's dieters should follow their ancestors'lead, proclaim the authors of this update to their bestselling original. Forhundreds of thousands of years, the human diet consisted of unrefined foods thatwere high in fiber, low in sugar and low on the glycemic index. Eating similarlynow-avoiding white flour, white potatoes, white rice, sugar, soft drinks andhighly processed foods in general (the "basic principles" of a diet that's been"field-tested by the human digestive system throughout the eons")-will helppeople lose weight and keep it off, the authors argue. Their reasoning is sound(high blood sugar triggers the release of insulin, the "fat-storage hormone" andthe "CEO of metabolism"; the less the body lives in fat storage mode, thebetter), and the lifestyle they propose is simple (though it goes beyond justchucking the 5-lb bag of Domino into the trash). Try eating six small meals aday, don't eat after 8 p.m.; read the labels of all breads and cereals to findthe hidden sugars and stock your refrigerator with vegetables and lean meats,the authors say. In chapters that are straightforward and focused, the authorsconsider childhood obesity and diabetes, discuss artificial sweeteners andalcohol, offer recipes from restaurants around the country and answer FAQs fromSugar Busters everywhere. For those with the willpower to cut out theconvenience foods, this will be a helpful guide to eating better.
