Help for the carbohydrate-sensitive--estimated to be up to 75% of the overweight and up to 40% of those of normal weight. The authors explain why cravings for starches, snack foods and sweets may have more to do with biology than will power, and how to institute a lifestyle-change program to combat the risks of carbohydrate-sensitivity. They also reveal that nine of the U.S.'s top killer diseases and health risk factors are linked by a single cause known as Profactor-H or hyperinsulemia (too much insulin). They offer a step-by-step program, so that Profactor-H can be easily diagnosed and reversed---before it's too late. After taking a brief quiz to determine the likelihood of their risk for Profactor-H, readers learn how to avoid it's devastating potential through a three-step program. The book contains recipes, meal plans, stress reducing suggestions, and other activities.
