Carbohydrate restricted diets are commonly practiced but seldom taught. As a result, doctors, dietitians, nutritionists, and nurses may have strong opinions about low carbohydrate dieting, but in many if not most cases, these views are not grounded in science. Now, whether you are a curious healthcare professional or just a connoisseur of diet information, two New York Times best selling authors provide you with the definitive resource for low carbohydrate living. Doctors Volek and Phinney share over 50 years of clinical experience using low carbohydrate diets, and together they have published more than 200 research papers and chapters on the topic. Particularly in the last decade, much has been learned about the risks associated with insulin resistance (including but not limited to metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and type-2 diabetes), and how this condition is far better controlled by carbohydrate restriction than with drugs. In this book, you will learn why:

•Carbohydrate restriction is the proverbial ‘silver bullet’ for managing insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes

•Restricting carbohydrate improves blood glucose and lipids while reducing inflammation, all without drugs

•Dietary saturated fat is not a demon when you are low carb adapted

•Dietary sugars and refined starches are not needed to feed your brain or fuel exercise

•Long-term success involves much more than simply cutting out carbs

•Electrolyte and mineral management are key to avoiding side effects and ensuring success

•Trading up from sugars and starches to a cornucopia of nutrient-rich, satisfying, and healthy foods is empowering

•Studying hunter-gathers’ diets provides clues to how best formulate a low carbohydrate diet. This is a great book for health-minded individuals. It is an excellent book for healthcare professionals. Best of all, it is the perfect gift for health-minded individuals to share with their doctors, dietitians, and nutritionists

A Revolutionary Program to Extend Your Physical and Mental Performance Envelope. Our recent book 'The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living' was written for health care professionals, championing the benefits of carbohydrate restriction to manage insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type-2 diabetes. In response, our athlete friends asked "What about us?" This companion book is our answer, and it could be titled: 'The Art and Science of Avoiding the BONK'. But actually, it is much much more than that. The keto-adapted athlete benefits from superior fuel flow not only when nearing glycogen depletion, but also during training, recovery, and in response to resistance exercise as well.

"On a well designed ketogenic diet as recommended by Jeff and Steve, I consume up to 4200 Calories per day while maintaining 6-7% body fat. This transformation has increased my power to mass ratio and allows a high level of performance in a range of activities. Equally if not more important is the efficiency with which I operate in every facet of my life. My energy level in the keto-adapted state is constant and never undulates." - Tony Ricci, MS, CSCS, LDN, CISSN, CNS. High Performance Coach/Sports Nutritionist

Mis au point dans les années 1970 par le cardiologue Robert Atkins, ce régime est le plus célèbre de la planète. Il aurait été suivi par plus de 60 millions d’Américains. Basé sur une forte réduction des glucides, ce régime est particulièrement efficace, mais souffrait jusqu’ici d’une mauvaise réputation chez les médecins qui lui reprochaient d’être trop restrictif, donc difficile à suivre sur le long terme; déséquilibré (œufs, bacon, beurre, viande rouge, trop de graisses, pas assez de fruits et légumes); de s’accompagner d’effets secondaires gênants (au début fatigue, migraines). Tout change avec le nouveau régime Atkins. La méthode Atkins a évolué pour mieux refléter les connaissances en nutrition. Du coup, le nouveau régime Atkins est conseillé par les plus grands chercheurs en nutrition comme ceux de Harvard.Le nouveau régime Atkins est (avec le régime IG) le seul dont l’efficacité à long terme est soutenue par des études scientifiques. Souple et équilibré, avec davantage de légumes et d’aliments complets, il permet de personnaliser son alimentation en fonction de ses goûts et peut même être suivi par des végétariens.  Le nouveau régime Atkins est sûr et n’a plus les inconvénients du passé.Voir le dossier de presse sur ce titre.
