| People, rats, and many other animals have a specific hunger forcarbohydrates-sweets and starches-that cannot be satisfied byeating any other kind of food. After a big meal, you may blanchat the thought of another bite of steak, but you ll still be "hungry"for dessert. Your stomach will be stuffed with three servings ofsalad at lunch, but you will feel unsatisfied because you haven tmet your body s need for a carbohydrate-rich food. And betweenmeals, when you get the urge to eat something, that somethingis likely to be a package of cookies, a candy bar, crackers, orice cream... The overweight person is acutely aware of a craving for car-bohydrates because for years sweets and starches have beenforbidden foods. And this craving is intensified on a high-protein-low-carbohydrate diet. The carbohydrate craver will almost inevi-tably fail on such a diet, not because of weakness of will power ormoral fiber but because the body s real hunger for carbohydratesisn t met by those diets ... Yet the fact is, as we have shown inthe laboratory, there is" no way that the true carbohydrate cravercan succeed on a htlgh-protein-low-carbohydrate diet. |
