Low-carb pioneers Dr. Michael Eades & Dr. Mary Dan Eades

Welcome to Amy Alkon's HumanLab: The Science Between Us, interviewing the luminaries of behavioral science. Low-carb pioneers Dr. Michael Eades and Dr. Mary Dan Eades are my guests this week. Since the 1980s, they have been behind evidence-based ways to eat, and have helped thousands and thousands of people drop pounds without starving themselves.  They have long understood that it is carbohydrates -- sugar, flour, starchy vegetables like potatoes, apple juice -- that cause the insulin secretion that puts on fat.   On the show, we'll talk about how to maintain a way of eating, and debunk a lot of widely held myths about diet -- myths many doctors still cling to.  Buy their books at Amazon at this link. Join me and all my fascinating guests every Sun, 7-8 p.m. PT, 10-11 p.m. ET, at blogtalkradio.com/amyalkon or subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher.  Please support the show by buying my "science-help" book, "Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence."
