This book is a goldmine of information. It makes very clear some of the things that other books on the subject tend to gloss over. It's densely packed with sound timely information, yet written in a style that is conversational and easy to understand.
If you are a man, like me, and you are worried you may be wasting your money by picking up a book that seems to be aimed at women, let me allay those worries for you right now. There are some sections of the book that are applicable to women, but these comprise a small percentage of the book. The vast majority of the information is perfect for men and women alike. The guidelines set forth for beginning and maintaining a low carb dietary protocol are in lockstep with current research on the subject (as you'll see if you look up and read the citations for yourself). A man can absolutely not go wrong by spending money on this guide. I had consulted the author prior to the release of this book, about my personal diet. I am a 44 year old man with an odd lipid profile and metabolic syndrome. The very same advice that worked to get me trending in the right direction with my health is doled out in fine detail in this book. Put simply: it works and works well, no matter what your gender is.
If you are looking for current research on low carb dieting, you'll find a wealth of citations packing nearly every page. You can easily look them up and read them for yourself, convince yourself that the author is on her game (she is by the way). The citations, while numerous, lend veracity to the statements made by the author. She doesn't sugar coat things, if there are uncertainties with some of the research, she mentions them. She clearly delineates pro and cons, while also separating myth from fact. As a nutrition major at UNM I find the inclusion of cited material to be both ethical and professional.
Do your body a favor that it will thank you for in the years to come. Follow the advice in this guide and regain your health or take it to the next level.

A Valuable Add-on to the Low Carb Collection
This book is a valuable add-on to many other low carb books. It is unique and is a perfect low carb book for both low carb beginners and for myself.I am a strong believer of carbohydrate restriction for optimal health and to prevent/reverse certain medical issue. I had been living a low carb lifestyle successfully for the last six years. This book helps me to re-evaluate where I'm at now, re-test my carb tolerant level and review my supplement needs. The 3 different level of eating plans in the book will help you to decide where to begin. The recipes suggested are very easy to prepare. I've tried the Low Carb Crustless Cheesecake and is delicious! It has became one of my favourite low carb treats!
