Dr.Barry Sears conducted scientific research and changes the way we look at food. We used to see food as a number of calories. He has found that what matters even more is the effect of food on insulin production, a hormone vital to the "making fat" or "using fat" process in our bodies. Insulin production is not only linked to obesity, it is also linked to various illnesses. Therefore this diet helps not only lose fat, it also helps become healthier.
I have used his diet respecting it faithfully for about 3 months, and lost an average of 4 pounds a month. Then when I softened the diet, I did not take the weight back. When I say I softened the diet, I mean I found I need more rice than what he advises. It may be due to my low blood pressure, I get tired if I don't get enough of these slow sugars that you find in rice and pasta.
Of all the diets I have ever seen, his makes the most sense !
