Biologically Zero Carbs
Diet Revolution 1972 pg 102
Quote:
"...Where you start the diet, of course, is with a daily intake of zero grams of carbohydrate. Although we allow salad on the diet from the start, and lettuce has carbohydrate in it, the amount it contains is so minute as to be biologically the equivalent of zero."

We must always keep this tidbit in mind. To remain thin - we must stick with our chosen WOE beyond our goals "for LIFE to Infinity & Beyond!" [Just Jo]

A. Because you only look normal; inside your body is the same metabolic abnormality that made you overweight in the first place. This, by the way, is one of the key points of the whole book.
pg 261:
The main change that has to be made is in your head. Success in maintaining your trim figure and your zest for living is guaranteed if you can achieve this radical change in your thinking.
If you have a chronic weight problem it is essential to totally accept, fully understand that your fat is one symptom of a lifetime disease. Your metabolizing processes are and always will tend to be abnormal. Yes, even if you get slim and stay slim.
Many medical studies have shown that the biochemical responses of a formerly overweight person, such as the excessive insulin release when carbohydrates are eaten, are still quite different from a never-overweight person. In other words, you cannot eat what normal people eat and expect to stay thin.
So say this to yourself over and over until you've got it through your rebellious head: "My tendency to overweight is one sign of a chronic metabolic disorder. My physiology doesn't handle certain kinds of food as slim physiologies do. I mustn't try to compare my eating habits to those of a person who has never had a weight problem. Not now. Not ever. I have an illness, a lifelong illness. I can't cure it, but I can control it."
Basic to controlling it is the understand that it is a permanent condition...about which you can do a great deal. Controlling isn't all that difficult. Thousands of successfully slimmed patients are evidence of that.
