Nourishing traditions was a much better book on nutrition. Rating: 2 / 5 I agree with the other reviewer who talks about contradictions. Nourishing traditions was a much better book on nutrition.

What a joke!<br>I found the book to be a good repreive from the Atkins pundits. Atkins seems to link all carbs into two major categories with very little real evidence as to how it effects the insulin levels. Not all carbs are equal and can't be lumped into two simple divisions. Raw carrots do not equal cooked. "....Revolution" has some real answers.<br>I know people that have lost "10 pounds a week" on Atkins plan without stepping back and examining what that "weight" actually is. Let's do the math. sparing all the physiological details: 3500 calories per pound of body fat times 10lbs, equals about six days of running at ten hours each! (35,000/10 calories per minute/60 = 58 hours of running) Where does the weight come from? Not likely to be fat lose with Atkins plan!<br>Better to get advice from sources that have the numbers from sound science.

Not all carbs are equal and can’t be lumped into two simple divisions. Raw carrots do not equal cooked. “….Revolution” has some real answers.
