The editors of <i>Health</i> Magazine (and top nutrition scientists) have big news: <i>Eating carbs is the best way to get and stay slim. </i>Breakthrough research revealed in this book shows how certain carb-rich foods-especially those with the amazing natural ingredient called Resistant Starch-act as powerful metabolism boosters and appetite suppressants. Rather than making you fat and bloated, as decades of low-carb diet gurus claimed, CARBS make you thin.
