        Does this sound like you?
        After eating a full breakfast, are you hungrier before it's time for lunch, than you would be if you had only had time for a cup of coffee?
        Do you have a hard time stopping once you start to eat bread, pasta or sweets?
        Do you have a tendancy to gain weight easily, or if you lose weight, to gain it back again?
        If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you may not be experiencing a lack of willpower but rather a physical addiction to carbohydrates--a compelling or recurring craving for starches, snack foods, or sweets. Now, Drs. Rachel and Richard Heller of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York have discovered a revolutionary new diet that eliminates the cravings and helps you to overcome the yo-yo syndrome--permanently--without deprivation.

        ISBN: 0786862734
        Title: The Low Carb Cookbook: Complete Guide to the Healthy Low Carbohydrate Lifestyle
        Author: Fran McCullough
        Publisher: Hyperion
        Date Published: April 1997
        In 1995, McCullough edited the manuscript of Drs. Michael and Mary Eades's Protein Power (1996), a book about carbohydrate intolerance, or hyperinsulinemia, a metabolic condition in which ingestion of carbohydrates stimulates excessive production of insulin which in turn causes fat cells to store more fat. Finding that she could control her own weight by limiting her intake of carbohydrates (she reports a 60-lb. weight loss), McCullough (Great Food Without Fuss) embarked on a mission to develop the 250-plus low-carbohydrate recipes here. Conventionally arranged, the recipes emphasize vegetables, meat and fish while eschewing the "whites," e.g., potatoes, bread and pasta, and, of course, sugar, which are the main high-carbohydrate foods. McCullough writes convincingly about her own experience of low-carb eating and has devised appealing recipes in which such fats as butter, oil and heavy cream are allowed more freely than potatoes and grains. Such recipes as Rosemary Walnuts; Cream of Tomato Soup With or Without Crab; Southern-style Smothered Pork Chops and Rum Coconut Ice Cream may prompt readers to ask, Where's the diet? But this is McCullough's point. She doesn't minimize the task of severely cutting down on sugar, bread and pasta, but her recipes, along with instructions for stocking a low-carb pantry and her source list for substitutions, will prove indispensible for readers who want to try the low-carb path to health and weight control.
