I work in molecular biology, and that has given me an understanding of cellular metabolism.In gaining this understanding, I have come to realize how horrific our American diets are.Unfortuneately, a few well meaning and misguided nutritionists and scientists earlier in teh twentieth century tried to reform our eating habits.These habits stuck, and now we have a country of fat unhealthy citizens.The more I read about nutrition, the more I understand what is wrong with our eating habits.The author has doen her research and has a very firm grasp on the concept of cellular metabolism.She references actual scientific studies that have been published.More and more literature is coming out debunking the food pyramid and extolling the health benefits of a high protein, low SIMPLE carb diet.This is not to be confused with diets such as Atkins, where all carbs are evil.Or diets such as weight watchers which encourage the consumption of processed foods.Or diets such as the Zone, whose recommended caloric intake is not enough to sustain basic cellular function.Diets such as South Beach are actually good models of a healthy eating plan.And amino acids, as Ms. Ross explains in her book, are the building blocks of proteins, whish are essential for our body to function.While her book does skip around, and can be a little hard to follow, it offers sound advice.Advice that sadly the rest of the world is slow to follow, out of ignorance.

The Diet Cure (Paperback)
It took me years of failed dieting and finally two years of therapy to discover that the root of my weight trouble was caused by low self-esteem which led to excessive spending.I wish I had read this book years agoalong with the other book mentioned, "SIMPLE MONEY SOLUTIONS," byNancy Lloyd.Each book has shown me unique ways to control the"excesses" in my life and slim down my debt and my waistline.Myblood pressure has also dropped (without the use of medication) because Ino longer feel stressed all the time and I am finally HAPPY!
