Product Description
The first and only book that combines history, science, tips, facts, and resources in a concise yet comprehensive review of all the low-carb programs, so that dieters can choose the right one of them.
The low-carb revolution is changing lives and ordinary bodies into beauties, but the sheer volume of information on the subject can be overwhelming. This comprehensive guide cuts through the confusion, showing dieters how to choose and customize an effective low-carb plan for their own metabolisms and lifestyles. In straightforward language, weight-loss coach Jonny Bowden rates and discusses the differences between the top-selling low-carb diets—from Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution to The South Beach Diet to Sugarbusters and more—providing readers with the facts they need to make informed choices. There’s also an explanation of the science at work behind low-carb dieting, and hundreds of practical food tips and insider secrets to make the lifestyle work.

I purchased this book after starting a low carb lifestyle a year ago. This has been a TREMENDOUS resource book I've used over and over. The chapters are--
1: The History and Origins of Low-Carb Diets
2: Why Low-Carb Diets Work
3: Seventeen Low-Carb Diets and What They Can Do For You
4: Supplements and Diet Drugs
5: The Five Biggest Myths About Low-Carb Diets
6: Frequently Asked Questions
7: Tricks of the Trade: The Top 50+ Tips for Making Low-Carb Work for You
8: Controlled-Carbohydrate Eating: Putting Together Your Program
There is a great resource section at the end with tons of websites and materials for further reading
I can honestly say this has been one of the best purchases I made when I decided to adopt a low carb lifestyle. You will NOT be sorry for investing in this book!
If only one, Chapter One December 28, 2008

As an owner of more than two dozen diet books, I can say with assurance: Hands down, this is the best 'diet' book ever written. If you read just one chapter, read chapter one. I only wish that I had seen it years ago. The new, "Good Carbs, Bad Carbs," (by Gary Taubes... don't buy it, though, very technical.... just read page 454, as noted in another review) backs it all up. Easiest lifestyle change to lose weight permanently?..... cut out/drastically reduce desserts and simple carbs. Make sure to eat lots of fruits and veggies. Operatvie phrase here being.... "lifestyle change."
Fantastic Reference December 27, 2007

This book is a great reference guide for those who are considering the low-carb lifestyle and want to compare various plans and their pros and cons. He gives insight into the history of low-carb dieting and writes in a clear, pleasant to read format. It is a nice break from many diet books which seem to offer a gloom and doom approach to dieting. He is concise and informative. I really enjoyed this book

I am an average stay at home mom who needs to lose about 30-40 lbs. I recently started the Atkins diet and was immediately fascinated that for the first time in my life, my cravings were under control. It was amazing. In the past few weeks I have become somewhat obsessed with the low carb lifestyle. I was at a large bookstore the other day looking for a low carb cookbook when I stumbled across this book. I am so glad that I did. This book explains so much of how low carb works and how it affects our bodies. The author is a fantastic writer and he does not seem biased when he reviews many of the popular low carb plans. That is one thing I was worried about and was somewhat skeptical to buy this book for that reason.
My favorite thing about this book is that it helps you pick and choose the best parts of each low carb plan to put together the ultimate plan FOR ME. I do enjoy the current plan I am on but I love that I can add aspects of other LC plans to my lifestyle. This book will also help you set yourself up for success. There are many tips on how to be successful and answers to many questions that you may have regarding low carb eating. This book is well rounded and covers all of the bases. Plus you can't beat the low price.
