Carbohydrate Addicts Diet
If you're a carb addict, don't think you can't reward yourself... daily!
BACKGROUND
Do you often enjoy a large meal and soon after feel hungry again? Or, do you feel like you can't stop eating starchy goodies once you've started? It's time you faced up to your addiction to carbs. You're not alone and the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet might just be the plan for you.
It's possible your body doesn't process carbs the way everyone else does. Sometimes, carbs in your body will result in substantial production of insulin, which in turn creates fat stores. The Carb Addict's Diet, created by Dr. Richard and Dr. Rachael Heller, manages your insulin level by helping you eat in a way that properly mixes when and what you eat. You'll even get to fight the addiction with your food must-haves.
PRO
- Allows for a substantial portion of one daily carb
CON
- The high calorie and protein intake has raised red flags for some, as has the option to eat the foods that feed your addiction.
DIET and NUTRITION
There are no scheduled foods or meal times, just a pattern to follow for each meal:
Three meals a day, two of which include protein, veggies and no carbs; the other is your reward meal and you'll enjoy a salad, equal parts protein, veggies and a carb like potatoes, dessert or bread.
You have to eat your reward meal in 60 minutes.
EXERCISE
Authors say you don't need to do a rigorous exercise routine to be healthy. Just be active.
CONCLUSION
Both Dr. Richard and Dr. Rachael Heller are research scientists, so you can feel a level of comfort that you are taking good advice. Having the once-a-day reward meal is also nice to keep your cravings in check. All in all, this seems like it could be a rewarding eating plan.

I did this plan 5 years ago and lost 30 lbs. I unfortunately went on vacation and got out of control with the carbs and gain every bit back plus some. I have tried other things, eating right and I have a limitation to exercise since I have osteoarthritis, but I can still walk. I will go on this plan again. The first time I didn't even buy the book I got it from the library, but this time, I'm going to get the book and shed this weight to take the pressure off my joints. Wholeheartedly recommend it.
starting this diet today hopefully it will work because I can't stay on Atkins I crave carbs I really do
I have been doing Atkins for months doing good,but I need a change. I think this diet may work better for me, Fruits and bread I always miss.One meal a day that I can enjoy with my family will be great.Good Luck to all.
Started this program today . I am hopeful this one is the answer.
I tried this diet several years ago. I was a size 24W. After just two months, I had lost 40 lbs and was a size 18W. I've stayed there since. It took some getting used to, and I didn't follow the recipes... just ate differently, saving carbs for dinner. After a couple of days, my energy levels were up, I didn't experience the crash after meals, and I wasn't at all hungry or feeling deprived. I'm getting ready to start on it again.
I am a carb addict. Once I started, I couldn't stop eating candy, chips, potatoes...even when I'd just finished a big meal. Just a couple days after starting the diet my cravings were gone! Before I'd jog and not lose a pound, now I stopped jogging and am losing 1 pound a week for the last month. The best part is not feeling the uncontrollable compulsion to eat and never feeling satisfied! Plus, no one even knows I'm on a diet.
I did this diet for about 5 months. The hardest thing was eating the carbs only once a day. I believe it is harder than cutting it out all together because once those carbs hit my lips I couldn't stop! I moved to a more balanced diet.
I am a carbohydrate addict so this diet was SO much easier for me than south beach. Having to cut out all the carbs was really hard so I enjoyed that I got to keep them in my diet, even if only a small amount. I also liked that I got to dictate when I got to eat because my schedule fluctuates so much. Definitely recommend to anyone who has a busy lifestyle and can't give them up!
