Title: Interesting "new" take on nutrition and diet
Review: In this book, Dr. Sears describes what he believes is the perfect balance of protein, carbohydrate, and fat for human nutrition. He bases this data on the balance of hormones, mainly insulin and glucagon, which determines how your body digests food and stores fat. The data seems very convincing, and the description is easy for the lay person to understand. With this balance of nutrition, the body sheds excess fat, muscles are built, and the brain runs more smoothly. He cites tests in diabetic patients, world class athletes, and average, overweight Americans. In this book and the sequel, he gives good suggestions on achieving this balance in one's diet daily in the modern world of quick meals and fast food. His conclusions are much different than the governments recommendations of low-fat high-carbohydrate diets, but the idea of balance in ones diet is appealing.
