by Cliff Harvey (Author)

Have you tried time and again to lose weight, improve performance and feel better, and failed?Low-fat, high-carbohydrate dietary guidelines have simply not worked. Diabetes and obesity are skyrocketing. We are sick and tired of being sick and tired and with all the conflicting diet advice we are more confused than ever. In The Carbohydrate Appropriate Diet, Cliff Harvey presents a simple and effective, evidence-based guide to eating for health and performance-without having to count calories. "If you come from a more traditional scientific background, and you want to step into a different stream of evidence that might surprise you in some cases, this is the book for you. If you come from a naturalist or holistic background and are ready to find out what the evidence does and doesn't support, this is also the book for you. I definitely recommend giving it a read."-Eric Helms MSc, MPhil "The coined phrase "carb-appropriate" is a perfect one, in that it aptly reflects the much-needed personalised approach with this style of eating. Even if you are well-versed in this area, you will still learn something, as I did. Cliff, congratulations in making this book not only informative but also enjoyable to read."-Caryn Zinn PhDRegistered Clinical Nutritionist, Naturopath, Author, Speaker and Researcher, Cliff Harvey is a thought-leader in the field of lower-carbohydrate practice.
