...have become a convert. Carbohydrates in the amount we commonly consume them (particularly sugar and other refined carbos) are often prime saboteurs of our weight. What's more, cutting back on them--especially on wheat--seems to produce improvements in energy, mood and sleep for many patients. It is hard to do--our culture is carbo- and wheat-driven.

After measuring his blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, weight and height last year, company doctors wrote him a free prescription for Roche's weight-loss drug Xenical. Company nutritionists worked out a diet that allows Mattaliano to eat his favorite dishes while cutting out 400 calories a day. Fitness instructors designed his workout routine in the company...
