Dr. Atkins and I debated each other many times before he died, and we agreed that Americans eat too many simple carbs, the "bad carbs," and these are things like --  -- sugar, white flour, white rice, alcohol. And you get a double whammy: you get all these calories that don’t fill you up because you’ve removed the fiber, and they get absorbed quickly so your blood sugar zooms up.
阿特金斯博士在去世之前和我曾多次辩论， 我们都同意美国人吃了太多的单一碳水化合物， 即“不好的碳水化合物”，诸如——  ——糖，白面，白米，酒精等，吃了这些你就祸不单行了： 一是由于缺乏纤维，你摄取的这些卡路里并不能喂饱你， 二是这些食物的消化速度如此之快，会导致你的血糖水平升高。
