Book Reviews of How I Gave Up My Low-Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds (Revised and Expanded Edition)

Book Review: WHOO HOOO DANA!!! I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

10+ Stars!
Wow! How do I put into words my true enthusiasm and excitement for something so great as This BOOK!! I just got through reading the last word on page 312 and couldn't wait to run to the computer and write a review about it. Dana, I have to tell you... when I started reading this book, I thought to myself "hey, this chic doesn't have DR. in front of her name so what makes her so special to write a book about how I should control my diet?" Boy, I'm eating crow pie (low carb of course) right now! You are a complete WHIZ when it comes to articulating and simplifying the science of the Low Carb World! I'm taking a bow of appreciation right now in your honor. You have done your research and then some. I picked up on pieces of health info that I have read in other books that only real crazies like me like to read. We health book reading crazies have to stick together!! I really enjoyed reading chapter 23 about Exercise. It so ME! A gym drop out. How can someone fail jump roping? Well, I'm here to say that someone can and did! Yep, I failed it big time!! Dana, I know your pain when it comes to past memories of gym class.
This book such a nice change from all the deep, scientific, mumbo jumbo that all the other's right about. They can get so sterile with it all. You on the other hand kept it "REAL" and I really appreciate that. It almost read like a novel. I couldn't put it down and loved how you gave your personal experiences all through out the book. Please write another one!! Pretty Please!!
For those who haven't read it yet... DON'T WASTE ANOTHER MINUTE! BUY THE BOOK NOW AND DON'T WAIT TO READ IT ONCE IT ARRIVES IN THE MAIL!!
If you already own the book, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? Stop reading the damn reviews and pick up the book and start reading!!
This book explains EVERYTHING you MUST know about Low Carb Eating.
My husband and I have read till we are blue in the face all the "other" low carb books and you just about have to force yourself to get through each and every page. Not Dana's book! Nope, I raced right through it and will be rereading it this week just in case I missed something the first time. Note: I have NEVER read the same book more than once, so this is really saying something!
Now I'm going to Dana's website to try to soak up as much goodness there as possible.
Dana, You are a Godsend! I Love the book and I love YOU for writing it.
Also purchasing ALL of the cookbooks ASAP (which will be right after I post this review.) If this book was this good, I can't wait to get the cookbooks!
Thanks a million x a million!!!!

p.s. It does feel like a "zillion degrees" here in the summer time! ((wink))

Summary of How I Gave Up My Low-Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds (Revised and Expanded Edition)

This is a breezy, chatty, non-technical, fun-to-read explanation of low carbohydrate dieting -- why it works, the surprising health benefits, and most importantly, how to "do" the diet. Or, rather, diets,since the book details three very different main approaches to controlling carbohydrates (including the Basic Low Carb Diet, similar to Atkins or Protein Power, and the Mini-Binge Diet, popularized as The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet), plus several variations, finally summing up the basic principles which tie them all together. The point is to give the reader the tools necessary to construct a new way of eating that will fit his or her body, psyche, and lifestyle, thus allowing them to stay slim, energetic, and healthy for life.
