"Low carb" is still a popular trend among people who are trying to lose weight. Most of the low-carb diet books you read focus on eliminating foods. Low Carb and Beyond talks about keeping the body in balance while you restrict your high-glycemic carbohydrates. This approach gives you a better all-around method to health and weight loss and should be part of every low-carb lifestyle. Just reducing your intake of carbohydrates and bulking up on protein will not assure permanent weight loss or good health. Carbohydrates are a necessary part of any healthy diet, and this book will help you choose which ones can support a healthy body.

Sufferers know firsthand the confusion and agony these illnesses can bring. They also know how it feels to long for hope–and to wonder if victory can ever be achieved.
