High-carbohydrate low-fat diets are the key to weight loss, right? Not necessarily. If you look back at our prehistoric ancestors, you will find that they probably subsisted on a diet that was rich in wild game, seeds, nuts, vegetables, and shrub fruits; in other words, a high-protein / low carbohydrate diet. These discoveries have prompted some medical professionals to question - even denounce - diets that are based predominantly on carbohydrates (especially when the carbohydrates are "refined" or simple sugars).

CHROMIUM POLYNICOTINATE Chromium was first recognized as an important dietary trace mineral in the 1950s. Research discovered that it works with insulin to help metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Although essential to metabolic function, chromium is not produced by the body and must be included in the diet. Unfortunately, the American diet, which is high in refined foods such as flour and sugar, supplies little chromium. Foods rich in chromium - such as mushrooms, broccoli, brewer's yeast, brown rice, cheese, meat and wheat germ - often are not consumed at levels high enough to supply recommended levels of the nutrient.
