    Gary W. McCarty

    I’m a professional journalist who’s been involved in many publications covering many different topics through the decades. I’ve covered murders and marriages, breakthroughs and busts, elation and tragedy (the daily news stuff), but lately I’ve been working on a lot of websites, including nutritional and medical sites. Thus my interest in health, nutrition, diets and carbohydrates. I live in the Los Angeles area with my wife and three dogs. Since retirement is off the table for an impoverished journalist such as myself, I intend to Ernest Borgnine and Betty White it into my 90s and die slumped over a typewriter, er, computer keyboard, er, tablet -- well, over whatever we’ll be using then.

      The Carb Swappers Diet Guide

      Written and Published by Gary W. McCarty

      Smashwords Edition

      Copyright 2013-2014

      ISBN 978-1-62890-532-8

      CONFESSION: I never met a sweet treat, a creamy pasta, a potato bomb, a wine or a cocktail I didn’t crave or enjoy, so I developed a diet where I could enjoy all of those and still maintain my weight. Try Carb Swappers to Diet once and lose the fat forever.

      Bear With Me

      As a lifelong journalist, I should at least know the difference between bare and bear, shouldn’t I? Yes, and I do, but I couldn’t resist drawing a parallel between the obesity epidemic in the United States (proud member of the club here until 2012) and a bear’s fattening itself up for winter hibernation. Thus the image on my book cover and the subtitle with the misused word bear – both are there for that sole metaphorical purpose.

      You see, in a sense, that’s exactly what we do with and to our bodies when we eat (as we usually do) carbohydrate-rich diets – we fatten ourselves up for lean days to come. Our bodies look upon those carbs as energy sources to be burned. When we don’t burn the carbs immediately, the body deduces that we’ll need them for future use. So it stores the carbs as fat (also as muscle, but an overload has to go somewhere).

      Understand, our bodies have atavistic memories of those long Paleo winters when, if we were lucky, we could survive on some root vegetables pulled from the ground or on an unlucky animal we could track down and kill. Our bodies, like a bear’s, know hunger and know how to prepare for it. Thus fat bellies, fat thighs, fat faces, and fat wherever became part and parcel of us. The fat is there for our long, hungry winters. But the Catch-22 for us in the developed world is that those hungry winters rarely ever come, so the fat just waits, and waits and waits.

      And stays put on our bodies in rather obvious places – until we simply get tired of looking at the fat – or we receive some warning signals from our body that we’re overdoing it, signals such as diabetes, hypertension and heart problems. Yes, those are the diseases of modern man and woman that can be prevented by slowing and eventually stopping the accumulation of fat based upon an over-consumption of refined and bad carbohydrates.

      You see, not all carbs are bad, but most of the ones consumed in the modern American (and Western) diet are very bad indeed, having been stripped of the protective fiber that makes them digestible and thus not as prone to becoming body fat.

      So, please bear with me as this once bear of a man (I often refer to myself as having been Falstaffian in looks and dimensions) shows you the reasons for balancing out bad carbs for good ones and/or for canceling out bad carbs with a better balanced overall nutritional plan. In short, you don’t have to quit eating what you like and what you grew up eating (I certainly still eat those yummies), but you have to get smarter and more well-rounded in your eating choices.

      So, here come the bear facts about carbohydrates and weight loss.
