High-carbohydrate low-fat diets are the key to weight loss, right? Not necessarily. If you look back at our prehistoric ancestors, you will find that they probably subsisted on a diet that was rich in wild game, seeds, nuts, vegetables, and shrub fruits; in other words, a high-protein / low carbohydrate diet.
These discoveries have prompted some medical professionals to question - even denounce - diets that are based predominantly on carbohydrates (especially when the carbohydrates are "refined" or simple sugars). Several of these professional have summarized their research and observations in best selling books such as Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, Protein Power, The Carnitine Miracle, and Sugar Busters. Unfortunately, as many "seasoned" dieters can attest, following these programs can, at times, be extremely time-consuming due to the careful meal planning and preparation that they require.
