Weight Loss Books
by Gary Taubes
Amazon Price: $18.45
Customer Review: Good Calories Bad Calories is a book about science, not a diet book. But armed with Taubes' insights and research, I made some obvious changes to my eating habits, and dropped 30 pounds in 5 months. With not so much effort and, with the help of Pollan et al, with fine, diverse, tasty food.
One criticism that Michael Pollan makes (in In Defense of Food) is that the critical skepticism Taubes brings to the low-fat/low-calorie hypotheses that have become conventional wisdom is not as evident in his treatment of the "carbohydrate question." A real criticism, but one that doesn't detract from the value of the book for me personally.

Customer Review: I initially read and practice his work years ago and lost 65 pounds AND kept it off ever since. Low carb is bringing us back to the basics of food, replacing the fast food and processed food of our generation.
It is too bad he didn't live to see the Low Carb Craze which he started from her personal beliefs.
Low Carb works and is healthy!

Pocket of Pearls: A 30-day pocket workbook to start hearing a softer voice inside of you!
by Robert C. Atkins
Amazon Price: $4.95
Customer Review: This pocket-size book gives basic nutritional information, including total carbs and net carbs, on hundreds of foods. Most products round the number of grams of fiber to the closest whole number (or the closest higher whole number) on their labels, but Atkins lists fractional totals of grams of net carbs and fiber. There is also a modestly-sized listing of common fast foods.
In his section on vegetables, Atkins touts the value of cruciferous vegetables, garlic, etc. (p. 84). This alone should refute the silly myth of the Atkins diet being an all-meat diet. Atkins also includes a listing of "forbidden" high glycemic-impact foods. These should be enjoyed only occasionally, in very small portions, and then only by people on Lifetime Maintenance.
Portion size is important in weight control. But many conventionally-listed portions (e. g., in oz) are hard to visualize, and recommended portions are often much smaller than most people realize. For this reason, Dr. Atkins provides visual references (pp. 19-20). For example, a 3 oz serving of meat would be the size of a small pack of cigarettes.

Customer Review: This is a wonderful cookbook that just happens to be low-carb. The Tequila Chicken recipe alone is worth the price of the book. Hmm...I think I'll make it tonight!

Customer Review: This book had a few more suggestions than the first to come out.There are a few that were new to me and would have helped me at the beginning better if I would have known.It recommends exercise while the other book didn't.A lot of it is the same thing but you do get a lot of different ideas also.

Customer Review: I do not like this book. I was expecting a spin off from the original "Zone diet" by Barry Sears. This book changes the process from blocks to grams, much more confusing . The layout of the recipes further complicates. I ask myself , is this a complete meal recipe or just a partial representation to which I must add more grams? I am sorry I ordered this book.

Customer Review: You've just been diagnosed with type II diabetes. You're scared, confused, etc. This is the book to buy to help you through it. It goes through all the technical, medical jargon and makes it understandable to you, then gives you clear cut ways to improve your situation. Is changing your lifestyle easy? Nope, but then again, nothing worth having/doing is easy. I can tell you, though, that if you follow the directions in this book, not only will you not be hungry, but you will feel healthier than you ever have in your life. At least I do...and so do many of my co-workers, friends, etc, who follow Atkins. You really have nothing to lose.

Customer Review: Lotsa info and good stuff. Sometimes a bit 'scientific' and too deep for my interest, but very thorough.
I also recommend Mastering the Zone.
