   I have read many of the diet books themselves and books around the topics.This is the most practical approach I have come across and includes lots of stuff which the hardline books tend to ignore such as indulgence and cheating! Also the only one specifically to address low carb for veggies and how to mix and match to suit almost anyone.

   Dana Carpender explains in great detail the reasons why a low-carb diet is the best choice, but her informal style makes for easy reading. She’s researched the subject very thoroughly indeed, and leaves no stone – or kilogram – unturned, yet when you read the book, you feel as if you’re chatting with a friend who understands completely how you like to eat.

   If you want to lose weight and keep it off, and you’ve had enough of tiny, expensive low-fat meals with no taste, give this book a try. It’s a great introduction to the low-carb principle that still gives you plenty of detailed and well-researched information.

   Best of all, a low-carb diet is easy, nutritious, filling and absolutely delicious. And it works.

   This book makes an excellent addition to any low carber’s collection. Dana Carpenter has taken it upon herself to look through all the low carbohydrate dieting books and present the information in such a way that is not too technical or clinical. Above all, this book provides what other books on the subject usually lack – a friendly understanding tone. Instead of just another “How To…” diet book, she gives practical advice on a wide range of subjects that most low carbers encounter during their lifetime including dinner parties and ‘cheating’. All I can say is that I cannot wait to read the follow up!

   I have read quite a few diet books and what I liked about Dana’s book straight away was the fact she doesn’t belabour a point. She explains things very clearly and succinctly using imaginative analogies to make it easy for the layman to understand. I often found myself thinking “now I understand” or “so that’s why”.
   
   I would thoroughly recommend this book; it has motivated me to start dieting again properly and not to cheat as that only hurts me. The results now are motivation enough (1 stone in 1 month).
