内容简介

There’s no cutting corners if you want to be healthy…. Introducing the bold, easy, clinically proven LOW-CARB way to lose weight now—and keep it off for life Millions of us are jumping on the low-carb bandwagon, yet many nutritionists and health experts are questioning the long-term medical effects of these dietary choices. The Four Corners Diet is a medically tested, healthy way to cut carbs without cutting out nutrition-packed vegetables, heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, and fiber. It is easy and realistic and will help you shed weight and keep it off. In 1996, Drs. Goldberg and O’Mara embarked on an in-depth review of the then-popular diets and the scientific literature concerning weight loss and improvements in serum lipids through diet. Sifting through hundreds of studies, they set out to create their own diet—one based on the most proven elements and soundest data from the scientific literature. The diet they created has 4 cornerstones." —the FOUR CORNERS of the title, and emphasizes: 1. Low-carb eating—to keep blood sugar levels on an even keel and hunger pangs at bay 2. Heart-healthy monounsaturated fat—and limiting consumption of saturated fat 3. Fiber—a highly beneficial form of carbs that we don’t digest 4. Pharmafoods—foods with health benefits beyond their content of vitamins and minerals and include probiotic foods such as yogurt and buttermilk, as well as many vegetables and some fruits After first testing the diet on themselves, and both losing weight, Drs. Goldberg and O’Mara started a formal clinical study in moderately to severely obese subjects, and they and others have now tested this diet more informally with hundreds of people of varied weights and ages.
