We have grown accustomed to a high carbohydrate diet. Today there is controversy around the high carbohydrate vs. a low carbohydrate diet.

Some experts speculate that approximately 90 percent of illness results from carbohydrate metabolism and difficulty. When archeologists discover the skull of an aboriginal people they open the jaw to view whether or not the teeth are still there. If the teeth are in the jaw the skeleton is classified as a hunter/gatherer, and if the teeth are missing the remains are classified as aggregation (eating cultivated grains). This simple example describes carbohydrate difficulty. Primitive people eating a higher carbohydrate grain diet lost their teeth due to the damaging effects of sugar on the body.

Most people intend to control sugar in their diet because of weight gain, although they never seen to succeed in overcoming the sugar cravings. This is because there is more sugar in the starches from grains than there is from simple sugars. Simply by eliminating pasta, bread, potatoes, rice, and all forms of starch, sugar cravings go away. This is because the starches requiring huge releases of insulin leading to irregular blood sugar levels and subsequent sugar cravings.

Many people believe that low glycemic diets would be difficult. It is quite the opposite, by eating more protein, healthy fats and oils, and the low carbohydrate composition of vegetables and fruits within days you can eliminate sugar cravings and achieve glycemic balance. As a result you will have more energy, less inflammation and aching, less food cravings, especially sugar, lower triglycerides and cholesterol, reduced body fat percentage, increased concentration and attention, and increased repair of the protein structures of the body.

Heart disease, diabetes and cancer, are three major diseases facing modern-day America. A low glycemic diet will help prevent and repair these conditions. Perhaps the low glycemic diet is the most important aspect of an effort to longevity and vitality.
