The Glycemic-Load Diet: A powerful new program for losing weight and reversing insulin resistance

After years of a vegetarian diet, my triglycerides were still high and my HDL was low. Why? How? I looked online for ways to naturally lower my triglycerides and that is how I found out about the Glycemic Load theory. I downloaded the book and it was like it was written for me. Although I am not overweight, this book discussed how the way some carbs are digested can lead to not only obesity, but high triglycerides, low HDL and borderline blood sugar readings. The main culprits? Bread, rice, potatoes and sugary drinks. Dr. Thompson does a good job of explaining how the Adkins diet had generally the right idea, but how tweaking it with the benefit of modern medical knowledge can help one maintain and sustain a healthy lifestyle. If you are like me and looking for a natural way to lower cholesterol, or blood sugar or your weight, give this diet a try. As Dr. Thompson says, no one has ever died from lack of starch!
