This guide outlines a carbohydrate-based diet designed to reduce weight, cholesterol levels, blood pressure and blood sugar without sacrificing taste, portions, or overall body health. It features a 28-day meal plan and 50 recipes.

Forget everything you've learned about low-carb and carb-free diets!
A SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN BREAKTHROUGH IN NUTRITIONAL WEIGHT-LOSS RESEARCH THAT CAN HELP YOU TO LOSE WEIGHT AND CONTROL YOUR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS BY EATING MORE OF THE RIGHT KIND OF CARBOHYDRATES.
In his bestselling book The HawaiiDiet, Dr. Terry Shintani showed readers how they could eat nearly twice as much food as they usually do and still lose weight. Now, as a much-needed voice of reason amid today's clamor of weight-loss programs that eliminate carbohydrates from the diet in favor of protein-only foods, Dr. Shintani returns with a revolutionary approach to weight-maintenance and total-body health. Here, you'll learn how to:
Identify the "good" carbohydrates, from whole-grain pasta and pita bread to sweet potatoes and brown rice, as well as an array of vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables
Lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, and control your blood sugar levels to help prevent the onset of osteoporosis, cancer, stroke, and other serious illnesses
Design a delicious, affordable 21-day meal plan to get you started on the path toward weight loss and total-body wellness
...and much more. Whether you're seeking permanent weight loss, lower cholesterol, or a crash-course in good nutrition, The Good Carbohydrate Revolution promises to make eating well -- and staying well -- easier to achieve than ever before.

Terry Shintani, M.D., J.D., M.P.H., received his master's degree in nutrition from Harvard University, and his medical and law degrees from the University of Hawaii. He is on the clinical faculties at the University of Hawaii School of Medicine and Department of Public Health, and acts as director of integrative medicine at the Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center. Dr. Shintani is the author of The HawaiiDiet, also available from Pocket Books.
