The Insulin Control diet::Low Carbohydrate Diet Plans Comparison, Reviews & Analysis: "The book has detailed information on the health hazards of obesity and the role of ketosis in fat loss.
By the numbers: : Ketogenic, low carbohydrate, low calorie diet plus aerobic exercise. Stress reduces serotonin leading to the demand for more seretonin but less is produced because stress interferes with deep restorative sleep, essential to natural production. Reduced serotonin is the reason why weight is inevitably regained after weight loss on a traditional diet.
Method:
During weight loss take a low dose (25 to 50 mgs) of the prescription drug Trazodone to ensure a good nights sleep and ensure serotonin levels are restored. (This is a much lower dose than is used for depression which is 400-600 mgs and so side affects do not occur.)
Aerobic and strength training exercise are important. Build up gradually
1000 calories and 35-40 grams of carbohydrate per day during weight loss
choose complex carbohydrates and avoid simple sugars
Stay in ketosis-test daily
Drink lots of water-at least 8 glasses per day
Typical menu: N/A
Emphasis: Insulin Control. Ketogenic, low carbohydrate, low calorie diet plus aerobic exercise.

Unique Fatures:
The important role of serotonin in weight control -something I have read of in no other diet plan. Seratonin is the contedness hormone so is important in sticking to anything demanding ( such as life?!).
The addition of calorie control to the low carbohydrate method"

The Insulin Control diet::Low Carbohydrate Diet Plans Comparison, Reviews & Analysis
The Insulin Control diet::Low Carbohydrate Diet Plans Comparison, Reviews & Analysis: "The diet is also called The Insulin Control Diet which gives a clue to its premise which is that carbohydrate induced excess insulin secretion is harmful and leads to a variety of problems including Type 2 diabetes and obesity. Dr. Ezrin’s plan is based on the metabolic control of insulin and serotonin. Reduction in carbohydrates takes priority but adequate protein and limited intake of fats is also important.
Serotonin is the most important neurotransmitter in the regulation of appetite and sleep. Carbohydrate, by stimulating insulin production, can boost serotonin levels, but only temporarily. Deficiency of serotonin causes carbohydrate cravings; when you satisfy these cravings insulin is released which causes serotonin to be made giving a temporary lift. This leads to the ‘Metabolic Trap of Obesity’ and is why the control of serotonin as well as insulin is important for weight loss."

Low Carb Pavilion - Low Carb Diet Information - Lose Weight and Control Diabetes with a Low Carbohydrate Diet: "Burning Fat
Much research has proven that dietary fat is not necessarily converted into body fat. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are readily converted into fat by the action of insulin. According to many experts, most overweight people became overweight due to a condition called hyperinsulinemia -- elevated insulin levels in the blood. When you eat a high-carbohydrate meal, the increased blood sugar stimulates insulin production by the pancreas. Insulin is the hormone that allows blood sugar to be used by the cells. However, a side effect of insulin is that it also causes fat to be deposited, and it stimulates your brain to produce hunger signals. So what do you do? You eat more carbohydrates, and the cycle repeats. In time, your body cells become resistant to insulin, meaning that your pancreas has to work overtime, producing up to four or five times as much insulin just to keep up with the demand. It has been shown that high levels of insulin have a deleterious effect on the body, including premature aging."

Low-carbohydrate diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Low-carbohydrate diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Low-carbohydrate diets or low-carb diets are dietary programs that restrict carbohydrate consumption usually for weight control. Foods high in digestible carbohydrates (e.g. breads, pasta) are limited or replaced with foods containing a higher percentage of proteins and fats (e.g. meats, soy products) and often other foods low in carbohydrates (e.g. green leafy vegetables).
The precise definition of low-carbohydrate diets varies greatly. The term is most commonly used to refer to ketogenic diets, i.e. diets that restrict carbohydrate intake sufficiently to cause ketosis like the Atkins diet,[1][2][3] but some sources consider less restrictive variants to be low-carbohydrate as well.[4]
Apart from obesity, low-carbohydrate diets are often discussed as treatments for some other conditions, most notably diabetes[5][6][7] and epilepsy,[8][9][10] although these treatments still remain controversial and lack widespread support."
