Description The basic premise of this book is that if we eat like our Peasant ancestors, we allow our bodies to Live Royally, but if we eat Royally, we make our bodies work like Peasants. This book explains why Atkins and Ornish are both right and both wrong. Learning how to include the right kind of fat in the diet, allows for the inclusion of carbohydrate in the diet. This book is specifically aimed at individuals with the Thrifty Gene, otherwise called the Insulin Resistance Syndrome or Syndrome X-- a diagnosis based on having at least one of the following: belly weight, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, gout, polycysticovary syndrome, diabetes or a family history of diabetes. About the Author Nancy J. Peckenpaugh MSEd, RD, CDN, CDE is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator with years of experience helping people achieve weight loss.
