Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution
by Dr. Gary Farr 2/3/2002
Designed to catapult your body into a state of fat meltdown, Dr. Atkins's diet has taken America by storm. It targets insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. The bodies of most overeaters are continually in a state of hyperinsulinism; their bodies are so adept at releasing insulin to help convert excess carbohydrates to fat that there's always too much of the hormone circulating through the body. This puts the body into a bind; it always wants to store fat. Even when people with hyperinsulinism try to lose weight--especially when they cut fat but increase carbohydrate consumption--their efforts will fail. This is why Dr. Atkins refers to insulin as "the fat-producing hormone."

Fast Food Nation
by Dr. Gary Farr 2/3/2002
On any given day, one out of four Americans opts for a quick and cheap meal at a fast-food restaurant, without giving either its speed or its thriftiness a second thought.

by Dr. Gary Farr 2/3/2002
All I can say is God Bless Ann Louise Gittleman. If it were not for this book that I brought with me into my physician's office, I would have never discovered that I had a chronic case of giardia.

Soil, Grass and Cancer
by Dr. Gary Farr 1/27/2002
There are few books that can claim kinship with the soul and spirit of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Price, but this is one of them.
Born in France in 1903, André Voisin was both a biochemist and a farmer. He taught biochemistry at the National Veterinary School of France as well as at the Institute of Tropical Veterinary Medicine in Paris. But his greatest insights regarding soils and grass came to him in the hours he spent watching his own cows graze the pastures on his farm in Normandy. Although he made his living as a scientist, Voisin remained a farmer at heart, understanding that if the soils and grasses are managed with care, they will in turn take care of the animals who live on them; and if our domestic animals are healthy and well fed, then those who consume the animals and their products will also enjoy good health.

by Dr. Gary Farr 2/3/2002

Your Body Knows Best: The Revolutionary Eating Plan That Helps You Achieve Your Optimal Weight and Energy Level for Life
by Dr. Gary Farr 2/3/2002
There's no one-size-fits-all diet, says author Ann Louise Gittleman (Supernutrition for Women, Beyond Pritikin). That's why some people will drop 25 pounds on fad diets while others will actually gain weight, and why some folks thrive on an ultra-low-fat diet while they make others feel like collapsing. Gittleman says there are some foods that everyone should avoid, such as refined sugar, margarine, and white flour products, but figuring out which foods are good for you is a bit more complicated.
