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."
