Product Details

Product Description

Gary Knutson, D.C.

I'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. Recommended. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet and Lost Forty Pounds! 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars non-scientifically speaking..., April 16 2004
By A Customer
I recommend ANYONE on ANY sort of low-carb diet read this book. Another like this one you should also have, the first being "The Secret To Low Carb Success", by Laura Richard. Both books cover low-carbing non-scientifically, and go over the many low carb plans, adding advice from the author (a real everyday person) along the way. I don't choose one over the other. They are both that good. I haven't enjoyed reading so much in years. One of the many reasons I am applauding Dana's book is because she goes into detail about the "low carb" products and foods available to us, for example, starch blockers and meal bars. Just a great book to have, newcomer or professional low-carber alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Low-Carb Common Sense, Jan 2 2004
By Kelly Hatfield (Carrollton, TX) - See all my reviews
I loved this book. It made me laugh and it made me think. The book will give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about low-carb living. I tried to read other low-carb diet books and I usually couldn't make it passed the first chapter. This book will keep you interested! It renewed my interest in low-carb eating and it has given me the tools necessary to make it a life-long decision. Buy the book if you are thinking about eating low-carb or need to have your interest renewed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easier to Undersand than Atkins, Nov 16 2003
By Traci "Things that make you go 'Hmmmm'" (West Palm Beach, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
I bought some books on low carb living and I found this book to be the most interesting and "layman" friendly. The author is funny and seems to have done alot of research. If you're thinking about a good low carb book, put this one in your shopping cart.

4.0 out of 5 stars fighting the myth
I went from a large to a medium and from a size 34 to size 32 doing low carb. I got so incensed by John Paree's negative review (below) that I felt the need to post a rebuttal. Read more
