The Wine and Food Lover's Diet works for all the reasons that the others don't. By identifying Savvy Carbs - those with a low-glycemic effect on blood sugar - Dr. Tirman, a leading sports medicine specialist, has developed a diet that lets you eat as much as you want, and still lose weight. It's not a matter of cutting out all the carbs (which, face it, just makes us want them all the more, right?). It's about choosing them wisely. So, instead of tiny portions and no dessert, the Wine and Food Lover's Diet lets you eat great meals like Pecan Crusted Chicken Breasts, Green Beans with Chili-Lime Mayonnaise, Barley Risotto with Tomatoes and Lemon, and - wait for it - Chocolate Souffles. How great is that? The diet clearly and simply describes why high-glycemic carbs promote weight gain, while low-glycemic carbs do the opposite.
