Confessions of a Carbohydrate Addict

Book excerpt: Sometimes I eat and eat and eat. Sometimes I make a run to the store to get my fix of ice cream, chocolate bars, or cake. I can't stop myself! Why? I'm addicted to carbohydrates. I wish I'd known about carbohydrate addiction twenty years ago. I wouldn't have wasted so much time on foolish diets. We'll cover the growing knowledge of carbohydrate addiction and its impact on your weight and emotions. You'll learn-whether you're a carbohydrate addict, why your previous weight loss attempts have failed and why counting calories and exercising until you drop haven't worked? You'll discover why you like the foods you shouldn't and how to change your food preferences. You'll learn how to break the chains of carbohydrate addiction. We are carbohydrate addicts. We are legion.
