Newman and Joachim explain the science behind a low-carb success and why low-carb does not mean no-carb, but rather the right sort of carbohydrates those with a low glycemic index. Unlike many other low-carb diets, this one promotes not high-fat and refined sugars but unsaturated fat instead of saturated fat, moderate amounts of lean protein, adequate fiber and the key elements of calorie control. The authors provide a low-carb pyramid of suggested eating proportions and begin with a seven-step weight loss program that promotes eating whole grains, controlling portion size and getting exercise. Each recipe (supported by a seven-day eating plan) includes a chart indicating the number of calories, diet values and diet exchanges.

Dieting is hard for most of us, downright impossible for a few. We can all use a little help from some detailed information, and the words of wisdom found in a good book. With a specific medical condition we need to know as much as possble about the condition, so our diet will be a help rather than a hindrance.
Merely trying to lose weight is hard enough. Losing weight while staying healthy and happy is even harder. But I know it's possible. Lose Weight the Smart Low-Carb Way: 200 High-Flavor Recipes and a 7-Step Plan to Stay Slim Forever by Bettina Newman can help.
