false 434248 4 If smoked salmon and cream cheese omelets, sautéed jumbo shrimp, and double-patty burgers suit your palate, belly up to the <I>Protein Power</I> diet: "Not a high protein diet" but "an adequate protein diet." Doctors Michael R. and Mary Dan Eades make a persuasive case in favor of "the diet we were meant to eat."<p> Similar to Dr. Robert Atkins's <I>New Diet Revolution</I>, the authors cite insulin as the main culprit in weight gain and expound the benefits of a diet extremely low in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, which are changed into sugar during digestion, stimulate the body to store fat, making weight loss virtually impossible. The most revolutionary idea put forth in <I>Protein Power</I> is that the fat you eat has very little bearing on the fat you gain: in other words, we aren't what we eat after all. Researchers have found that eating larger portions of protein in conjunction with severely reduced portions of carbohydrates causes people to burn the excess fat stored in their bodies.<p> <I>Protein Power</I> is packed with helpful charts and formulas, so you can estimate your body-fat percentage and your ideal weight for your particular body composition. There are worksheets to calculate your protein need and carbohydrate and protein equivalency charts, as well as charts that allow you to track your fat and weight loss. But this book is not all grams and percentages: it also shows you what a day of eating on this diet would look like and includes sample menus and 70 pages of recipes. If you've been starving yourself for years and just can't seem to lose weight, this may be the diet for you. <I>--Jhana Bach</I> 423186 1996 Protein Power: The High-Protein/Low-Carbohydrate Way to Lose Weight, Feel Fit, and Boost Your Health--in Just Weeks! total:20|5:9|4:4|3:6|2:1| 20 81 42 5 5 0 false false Tue Feb 02 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Tue Jun 16 08:10:27 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 16 08:21:42 -0700 2009 1 5 0 false false Wed Dec 03 12:39:55 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 12:44:16 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jan 10 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Mon Mar 31 13:12:21 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 31 13:12:21 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Thu Dec 13 20:02:49 -0800 2007 Mon Dec 17 07:34:06 -0800 2007 It works.
