Contrary to prevailing myths that promote high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets, carbohydrates are, in fact, your body’s fuel of choice—the ideal food for optimal health and sustained energy levels. Now, in Good Carbs, Bad Carbs, authors Johanna Burani and Linda Rao make clear that all carbs, however, are not created equal. They explain how to use the glycemic index—a ranking of carbs based on the rate and level at which the body digests them—to distinguish between carbs and identify those carbs that are best for losing weight, staying healthy, controlling blood glucose levels, and maintaining energy throughout the day. Good Carbs, Bad Carbs will show you how to "diet" without the negative side effects—hunger pangs, headaches, and irritability—from which many dieters suffer. Organized in an easy-to-browse format, Good Carbs, Bad Carbs features: · A thorough guide to how carbs work—and why your body prefers them · Clear advice for the best carbs to help you lose weight · Information on reducing your risk of disease · Good carbs for kids · Plus ten delicious, easy-to-prepare recipes Packed with essential information that no informed eater should be without, Good Carbs, Bad Carbs will show you how to adjust your eating habits and strike the perfect balance of carbohydrates for optimum health, weight, and vitality.

Summary: its of my style
Comment: This book is truly a gift to share with others. Just like my new beverage of choice that replaced my morning brew. Its called s oyfee and taste so wonderful with no caffeine or acids. Organic and made from soya! Bye bye acid stomach and hello healthy tummy! Google it under "acid free coffee"

Summary: not happy
Comment: I was very disappointed in this book. I did not like paying for a book with alot of reviews on peoples diets.I found that all these peoples stories boring
I would not recommend this book.
It does not give me the information I was looking for.
I wanted a book that lists foods. A guide to eating right.
I wanted a reference book that lists good carbs, and why, bad carbs and why.
Out of 164 pages 8 pages were useful.
I really would like a refund.

Summary: Insightful but not worth buying
Comment: I've given up on dieting (restricting calories, Atkins, Jenny Craig... just torture!). Instead, I'm trying to eat more healthily so I read this book hoping to get some pointers. This book is true to its title and gives some great tidbits on what carbs you should eat, what you should stay away from and why/how certain carbs have different effects on your body. However, its definitely not worth buying because most of it is common sense or taken from high school biology. Also, the GI food guide is way too limited! Instead, I suggest saving your money by just thumbing through the book at the bookstore if you have time to waste. Its so short that it'll only take you 30 minutes to read, if even that!
