The Four Corners Diet: The Healthy Low-Carb Way of Eating for a Lifetime (1569244278)

Editorial Review:

There's no cutting corners if you want to be healthy.... Introducing the bold, easy, clinically proven LOW-CARB way to lose weight now--and keep it off for life

Millions of us are jumping on the low-carb bandwagon, yet many nutritionists and health experts are questioning the long-term medical effects of these dietary choices. The Four Corners Diet is a medically tested, healthy way to cut carbs without cutting out nutrition-packed vegetables, heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, and fiber. It is easy and realistic and will help you shed weight and keep it off.

In 1996, Drs. Goldberg and O'Mara embarked on an in-depth review of the then-popular diets and the scientific literature concerning weight loss and improvements in serum lipids through diet. Sifting through hundreds of studies, they set out to create their own diet--one based on the most proven elements and soundest data from the scientific literature. The diet they created has 4 cornerstones." --the FOUR CORNERS of the title, and emphasizes:

1. Low-carb eating--to keep blood sugar levels on an even keel and hunger pangs at bay

2. Heart-healthy monounsaturated fat--and limiting consumption of saturated fat

3. Fiber--a highly beneficial form of carbs that we don't digest

4. Pharmafoods--foods with health benefits beyond their content of vitamins and minerals and include probiotic foods such as yogurt and buttermilk, as well as many vegetables and some fruits

After first testing the diet on themselves, and both losing weight, Drs. Goldberg and O'Mara started a formal clinical study in moderately to severely obese subjects, and they and others have now tested this diet more informally with hundreds of people of varied weights and ages.

Not A Bad Attempt At Mainstreaming Low-Carb Diets, But Sorely Needs An Updated Version:

What do you get when you mix a biochemist, an internist, and a diabetes-focused medical writer to collaborate on a book about low-carb eating? Well, you would think it would be a winning synergy of talent for writing a solid low-carb book. Unfortunately, that's not exactly what happened with The Four Corners Diet.
It was a nice idea at the time to try to look at the scientific data about livin' la vida low-carb prior to 1996 (and there wasn't nearly as much evidence in the research world then like... more info

Great Book, Doable Diet:

This diet is a realistic one for anyone not interested in Weight Watchers, who does not want to purchase special food from another nationally known diet company. Would buy this book again.

This is a healthy lifestyle!!!!:

Not only have I lost weight on this diet, I also lowered my cholesteral. I originally took on this low carb lifestyle after my doctor hit me with the high cholesteral news about 5 years ago (which was long before the low carb craze of today). The original "go diet" was recommended at that time and I'm staying with the program with this book. Bottom line, simple reading, simple to implement into your life, simple to maintain. This diet works!

This is a great diet:

I have been on this diet since it was called the GO diet. Not only did I lose all the weight I desired without starving myself to death, I have also managed to keep it all off!!
