Diet has always played a vital role in supporting today’s health. ... Fact: Carbohydrate addiction affects up to 74% of all kids who have struggled with their weight (Carbohydrate 1). Fact: When a person is addicted to carbohydrates, the body reacts to starches, snack foods, and sweets in a much different way (Carbohydrate 1). The body drives you to eat more just to make it easier to gain weight (Carbohydrate 1).
Doctors Richard and Rachael Heller introduced “The Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet” in 1991 (Low 1). In 1997, they revised the original diet and released “The Carbohydrate Addict’s Lifespan Program.” The philosophy behind the Hellers research indicated that carbohydrate addicts produced higher levels of insulin in the body (Low 1). ... This low carb diet plan aims to reduce hunger and cravings for carbs, which in turn enables weight loss (Low 1). The weight loss is achieved through the control of insulin levels in the body, through a low carbohydrate intake (Low 1). Unlike some popular low carb diets, there are no induction or maintenance phases to this diet (Low 1). If a person decided to choose The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet, that person would have to remember to be sensible about how to introduce this new diet t his or her body. In the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet, you are allowed to eat two low carb meals a day, and can reward yourself with a third meal, where you can eat anything you want, including carbs (Low 1). ... S. ... The Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet program does not give a specific amount of grams of protein intake but it does specify a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 balance of protein, low carb veggies, and carbs including dessert balance.
