I saw the author of this book on the Dr. Oz show. It was the show about "the Dr. who says everything Dr. Oz says is wrong." Basically what I got from this book was that the reason why people on low carb diets lose more weight is because they are actually eating fewer calories than they normally would if they were still eating carbs. The book speaks of the importance of carbs and also states that it is more important to stay in the calorie range as set for you by the Food Pyramid. The book recommends following the Food Pyramid for your dietary guidelines. It was an informative read.
