Source: http://www.amazon.com/Gave-Low-Fat-Pounds-Revised-Expanded/d…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.Editorial ReviewsI’ve seen many patients in my chiropractic practice lose weight and improve their health with various low carb programs. I’m impressed at how Dana has foregone the one-size-fits-all cookie cutter approach to dieting, instead giving the reader plenty of options, and a comprehensive understanding of the underlying principles needed for success. Readable, user-friendly, and easy to understand.
