Life Without Bread
There are
more obese people in the world today than ever before in human history,
however, there comes a point when anyone who is overweight will consider
and really need to loss weight. When that time comes, the secret or
rather not so secret formula to weight loss is a healthy diet and
regular exercise.
Today,
there are many different types of diets to follow for those on battling
their weight, and who have finally made the decision to reduce their
weight. However, with so many diets to choose form, this can sometimes
pose a dilemma on which is the better choice for a diet to follow. So,
with a bid to clear this doubt, Dr. Christian B. Allan and Wolfgang Lutz
came up with the great book, Life Without Bread.
The book
Life Without Bread expounds the advantages to following a
low-carbohydrate diet. Upon reading this book, you learn the benefits
associated with this diet, and how you can lead a healthy life. Dr.
Allan wrote this book only after more than forty years of research with
over 10,000 patients nd through this research, you learn about the
mysteries of nutrition and how it is possible to reverse, and in some
cases, cure some chronic cases of diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders,
heart disease, obesity. In addition to all of this, the book also helps
to boost strength and endurance.
Though it
may not be that easy to make all of the necessary life changes
overnight, it proves to be faster and easier after you read the book,
Life Without Bread. In the process, you learn to gain control over
your method of health and nutrition. The 240 pages of the book Life
Without Bread, also shows how it is possible to slowly regain
control over your food habits with minor, but important lifestyle and
food changes. The advantage this book has over other books is that other
books only focus on different low carb diets that can bring about weight
loss. However, Life Without Bread is a book that shows how it is
possible to restore and heal different health conditions easily and
efficiently.
This is
also a book that offers a historical survey of the different means
doctors and nutritionists adopt in defining a low carb diet, according
to Lutz and Allan, a low carb diet is a diet where you should not
consume more than 72 grams of carbohydrates in a day. The remaining part
of the diet has to constitute of protein and different plant and animal
fats.
Life
Without Bread also discusses the effects carbohydrates have on the
different functions of hormones on the body. The book is written in
laymen's terms so that anyone can understand all the endocrinological
details with the numerous graphs, illustrations and references that are
found in the book. The part where there is mention of improvement of
heart disease with a low carb diet needs more attention as it counter
attacks the phony notion that saturated fats and cholesterol found in
animal foods usually starts this condition. Instead, the author explains
the physiological benefits saturates have and point out the reasoning
found in Lipid Hypothesis.
It is
interesting to read the chapter in the book Life Without Bread
that explains the evolutionary basis for low carb eating. Lutz and Allan
show that low carb, high fat and high protein diets were the diets
adopted by humans a long time back, and is basically the best diet for
humans today. In the past humans did not have as many chronic diseases
as we have today with our present diets. Moreover, they also explain
that it is the high carb and low fat diet that is actually alien to
human beings. After reading the book, you will learn the best diet you
have to follow for a healthy and comfortable life.
