Book excerpt: Learn how to curb your cravings with the help of the bestselling author of The 5-Day Miracle Diet. Do you have stubborn extra pounds that won’t budge? A chronic lack of energy? High blood pressure or cholesterol? Does type 2 diabetes run in your family? If you answered yes to these questions, you are probably suffering from insulin resistance--a metabolic mix-up that controls your body chemistry, fueling your cravings and starving your cells. Over the past five years, Adele Puhn, MS, CNS, has tested and perfected the natural, nutritionally based answer to this problem with her celebrity and CEO clients, and men and women from all walks of life. From that research, she has come up with The Carb-Careful Solution. The secret is a simple, a cutting-edge eating plan that controls blood sugar and limits carbohydrates carefully and selectively. Carbs, fats, sugars, and proteins are all included in moderation, but carefully timed and paired to maintain stable blood sugar throughout the day. This easy-to-follow plan teaches you to eat in a different way, without unrealistic restrictions. In the process your body learns to metabolize carbohydrates efficiently, getting rid of that extra ten or fifteen pounds, as well as the tell-tale "apple shape." The Carb-Careful Solution is the road map to controlling the chemistry that has been controlling you. “Loaded with practical and difficult-to-find information that will help you lose weight and ensure your health on all levels.” --Christiane Northrup, MD
