Product Description
This is a breezy, chatty, non-technical, fun-to-read explanation of low carbohydrate dieting -- why it works, the surprising health benefits, and most importantly, how to "do" the diet. Or, rather, diets,since the book details three very different main approaches to controlling carbohydrates (including the Basic Low Carb Diet, similar to Atkins or Protein Power, and the Mini-Binge Diet, popularized as The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet), plus several variations, finally summing up the basic principles which tie them all together. The point is to give the reader the tools necessary to construct a new way of eating that will fit his or her body, psyche, and lifestyle, thus allowing them to stay slim, energetic, and healthy for life.

| 18 of 20 people found the following review helpful  I Lost Ten Pounds While Reading This Book!, By A Customer Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet and Lost Forty Pounds! (Paperback) I spent two weeks reading this book over and over while practicing some of the principles and during that time I lost ten pounds! This book is entertaining, non technical and includes easy to understand summaries of all the popular low carb diets. I've read all the other books on this subject but this one is easily my favorite. Buy this book if you want the "skinny" on low carb diets! 148 of 188 people found the following review helpful You won't believe how good it is!, By "buggily" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews This review is from: How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet and Lost Forty Pounds! (Paperback) I am a born sceptic. I also have been obsessed with food for my entire adult life. When I am going to eat, what I am going to eat, where I am going to eat, if there will be enough food left by the time I get to the front of the line... Not a very nice way to live. This book HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! So far, everything she has said has been true. Everything that she said would happen, has happened. And it's not hard to do at all! Sure, the initial adjustment to serving a meal with no potatoes or bread is a little odd, but you get over it pretty fast. Somehow, this diet just clicked with me. After reading her book, I have at least 6 more reasons to eat this way than just to lose weight. That's not even my focus any more! She explained all the different approaches of all these other authors and shows you how to pick and choose which aspects of which approaches will work best for you. It's remarkably easy to read, too!I used this book along with Lauri's Lo-Carb...

I really only wanted to lose about 30 lbs. and had accepted that after age 30 I would just be fatter than I was at 20. I was wrong. I lost 75 lbs. and have my high school body back at age 40. I could not be more ecstatic. My energy level has increased exponentially. I couldn't believe it. You can take information from the diets explained in this book and customize to your own needs. It is not difficult and I have never been starving on this diet like I have on every other diet. Giving up sugar is the hardest part for me, but I still indulge..just much less often. I started this diet about a year and half ago and have not gained any of the weight back. |
