The Good Carbohydrate Revolution: A Proven Program for Low-Maintenance Weight Loss and Optimum Health

Author: Terry Shintani

Forget everything you've learned about low-carb and carb-free diets!

A SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN BREAKTHROUGH IN NUTRITIONAL WEIGHT-LOSS RESEARCH THAT CAN HELP YOU TO LOSE WEIGHT AND CONTROL YOUR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS BY EATING MORE OF THE RIGHT KIND OF CARBOHYDRATES.

In his bestselling book The HawaiiDiet™, Dr. Terry Shintani showed readers how they could eat nearly twice as much food as they usually do and still lose weight. Now, as a much-needed voice of reason amid today's clamor of weight-loss programs that eliminate carbohydrates from the diet in favor of protein-only foods, Dr. Shintani returns with a revolutionary approach to weight-maintenance and total-body health.

Here, you'll learn how to:

• Identify the "good" carbohydrates, from whole-grain pasta and pita bread to sweet potatoes and brown rice, as well as an array of vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables

• Lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, and control your blood sugar levels to help prevent the onset of osteoporosis, cancer, stroke, and other serious illnesses

• Design a delicious, affordable 21-day meal plan to get you started on the path toward weight loss and total-body wellness

...and much more. Whether you're seeking permanent weight loss, lower cholesterol, or a crash-course in good nutrition, The Good Carbohydrate Revolution promises to make eating well -- and staying well -- easier to achieve than ever before.
