Research Scientists Advocating Carb Smart Intake For Over Fifteen Years are Proven Right in New Findings

NEW YORK, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- New findings from the Harvard School of Public Health regarding the longest-running, most comprehensive diet and health studies ever performed suggests that the "low-fat-is-good-health" hypothesis has now effectively failed the test of time. This is what Drs. Rachael and Richard Heller have been saying all along. If you change the way you eat starches, snack foods, and sweets, you can lose weight without struggle and without deprivation.

The Hellers, the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of "The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet" and "The Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program," have helped more than seven million readers lose weight and keep it off. Not only research scientists, but having lost over 200 combined pounds between them and kept it off for seventeen years, the Hellers have lectured about the importance of the carbohydrate-insulin factor in struggle-free weight loss for years.

"Insulin is king," says Dr. Rachael Heller. "Our bodies release it when we see, smell, think, or eat carbohydrate-rich foods. The more often we eat carbohydrate-rich foods, the more we want, until it feels like we'll never get enough."

Since 1990, the Hellers' Carbohydrate Addict's series of books have explained the carbohydrate connection to cutting cravings and losing weight.

Unlike other low-carb diets, the Heller's program allows for the reasonable consumption of carbs, which is perhaps why their program succeeds where other, stricter programs fail.

Drs. Richard and Rachael Heller have been studying the effects of the carbohydrate-insulin factor for years. In their groundbreaking books, they detail how low-fat dieting has failed, as those in insulin research predicted. The cause of cravings and weight gain must be corrected before the effects can actually be corrected. That cause is excess insulin released during the consumption of starches, sweets, and junk food.

Those who follow the Heller's plan as defined in their bestselling book, The Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program (Signet; January 2002; $7.99), experience a significant reduction in food cravings, accelerated weight loss, struggle-free weight-loss maintenance, the pleasure of enjoying the foods they love everyday (at a daily balanced Reward Meal®) and a guilt-free and healthy eating program that they can stay on for life.
