Gene,

The reasons outlined in this discussion are the basis of the South Beach 
Diet. I went on it and dropped from 225 to 200 in about 6 months. Other 
than the first two weeks of carb-free diet, it's been pretty easy to 
follow. I just had to give up some of my favorite sources of simple 
carbs: fruit juices, non-wheat breads, ice cream and beer. :-(

The biology and biochemistry is pretty straight forward. The more simple 
carbs (e.g., sucrose, fructose, etc.) one eats the higher the 
steady-state insulin levels. By doing the two weeks of carb-free, the 
insulin levels return to normal steady state levels, then by foregoing 
the simple carbs you bypass the production of fatty acids (which are 
converted to fats for long-term storage).

The good news is, I can eat all the steak I want, and wine is good too! :-)
