Summary: A diet book without a hidden agenda - what a concept!
Comment: Dana Carpender's 'How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet and Lost Forty Pounds' is one of the best books on diet and nutrition I've ever read -- and I've read a lot of them. Carpender manages to accomplish a rare feat in such books by being both credible and thoroughly engaging. The book contains fairly comprehensive information about the connection between insulin and obesity, and how a low-carb or carb-controlled diet can help. All of the popular related diets are summarized. Most authors of diet books (understandably) have the ultimate goal of persuading the reader to choose their diet over a competing diet. In contrast, Carpender does not endorse one kind of low-carb diet over another, rather, acknowledges that every individual has to be the ultimate decision-maker about what works best for his or her body and lifestyle. This is incredibly refreshing - especially for us cynics who have tried it all and are tired of authors and doctors who claim to have the magic bullet that works for everyone. Carpender even does what no doctor who wants to sell only their books and products would do - encourages experimenting with mixing plans and creating hybrid programs customized to one's lifestyle and body. Also, Carpender comes across as honest and passionate, and provides a good bibliography if readers wish to research the topic further. This is a good book for anyone interested in low-carb or carb-controlled eating, and would also make an excellent gift for those who don't like boring diet books, are convinced that low-carb is unhealthy, or are searching for an alternative to the high-carb/low-fat diet that does not work for everyone.

Summary: Most Balanced Book I've Found On the Subject
Comment: I have read several books on dieting and nutrition from those on 'far right' written by a physician to the 'far left' out in 'New Age-land'. Dana's book is by far the most balanced, informative, no-nonsense, best written book I've found. As a life-time 'fat person' she knows the subject. As a former health food store owner, she knows that industry and that 'end of the spectrum'. AND she has done much reading of medical-based research articles. She clearly and with humor explains EVERYTHING and lays out all the different low carb diet options. I chose the one best suited for me and have already lost half the weight I'm targeting (8 of 16 pounds). After two years of portion control and hunger, I'm losing and am NOT hungry. If you want only to buy one book, this is it!

Summary: non-scientifically speaking...
Comment: 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.
