Addicts Diet
Carbohydrate Addicts Diet for Arthritis
Weight Loss
Husband and wife scientist team Drs. Rachael and Richard Heller introduced
the term "Carbohydrate Addict" in their 1993 book The Carbohydrates
Addicts Diet. The idea is that some people are addicted to carbohydrates just like
alcoholics are addicted to alcohol and drug addicts are addicted to drugs. This
addiction causes strong cravings, insulin resistance and weight gain.
Dr.
Rachael Heller developed the diet to eliminate her own obesity and had maintained her
dramatic weight loss for more than twenty years by the time the first book was
written. The Heller's believe that insulin imbalance caused by carbohydrates causes the
body to crave more food and interferes with serotonin release that would signal that the
body is full. This leads to overeating and weight gain.
The Heller's recommend that the carb addict should limit his or her carb
intake to a "reward meal", eat three times per day and avoid snacks until the
person is out of the weight loss phase of the diet.
In addition to the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet Plan, the Hellers also cover
psychological triggers that can cause carb addicts to binge on carbs and gain weight. They
encourage dieters to identify personal emotional triggers and how to avoid these
triggers to help lose weight.
One of the most important theories of the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet is
that being overweight is not the fault of the obese person. Why? Because the person's
biology and the addictive power of carbohydrates is working against them.
Like all other low carb diet plans, the Hellers Carbohydrate Addicts Diet
recommends that processed foods and many types of sugar should be avoided. However,
they also state that some starchy carbs should be eaten with reward meals if desired so
that the dieter will be more likely to stick with the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet for the
long-term.
The Heller's believe that carb addiction is treated over the long-term
with good nutritional supplements and proper diet, but it is never
cured and carb addicts must be vigilant to prevent future weight gain and carb binges.
For successful arthritis pain relief it is essential to find the best
arthritis weight loss diet and exercise
program for you and stick to it
