From the top-selling author of The Good Carb Cookbook comes a comprehensive and motivating guide to the good-carb lifestyle.

Lately, low-carb diets have been all the rage, but until recently little scientific research has been available regarding their effectiveness and potential health consequences. Now, studies are proving that low-carb diets do work and, contrary to popular belief, they don't pose health risks-if they are done right. But with so many diets to choose from, it is hard for many people to find a program that is realistic for their lifestyle and to which they can adhere.

Nationally recognized nutritionist Sandra Woodruff demystifies the process and explains how anyone can tailor a low-carb plan to their individual needs to achieve long-term weight loss. She provides hundreds of delicious recipes, innovative menu plans, instructive cooking tips, and helpful advice for eating out. The healthy eating plan in Secrets of Good-Carb/Low-Carb Living includes lean proteins, healthy fats, and good carbs to not only lose weight but also to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels and help correct metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Now anyone can get better results from their low-carb diet or formulate a new eating plan specifically for their needs. With Sandra Woodruff, low-carb living never tasted so good!

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Woodruff (The Good Carb Cookbook; etc.) is a dietician and nutritionist who eschews the Atkins diet's controversial no-carbohydrate, high-fat, no-exercise-necessary diet for a healthier, more sustainable approach to keeping carbs in check. Urging readers to avoid refined sugars and flours, she suggests sensible portions of lean proteins, moderate whole grains, lots of vegetables and allows Atkins-forbidden but nutritious fruit, stressing the importance of exercise. She explains the benefits of low-carb diets, the carbohydrate-insulin connection, and demystifies terms like "ketosis" and "glycemic index." Woodruff's approach is more vegetarian-friendly and holistic than Atkins or Arthur Agastston's South Beach Diet. Unfortunately, after the introductory chapters, the pages quickly begin to fill with skim-only material, such as charts showing the calorie count of various low-carb foods, a "Good-Carb Life Plan Pyramid," and banal, beauty magazine weight-loss hints like "get plenty of rest," "exercise for an hour a day," and, of course, when dining out "pass up the bread basket." The book's second half is devoted to uninspired low-carb recipes: Portobello Pizzas, Chicken-Pesto Quesadillas and Microwave Egg Scramble.

I think this is a great book, very informative and has some good recipes too. But i purchased the kindle edition first and the tables are impossible to read so i had to buy the paper edition too...what a bummer. Stick with the paper edition and it's a wonderful book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that great
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2010
This book has two diet plans: Low-Carb Quick Start plan and Good-Carb Life plan. The Low-Carb plan is too restrictive, it's pretty much no starchy including starchy vegetables like potatoes and no sugar at all also means no fruits. The charts they provide to show GI and Glycemic Load of some foods are inadequate.
The second half of the book contains recipes. I almost got excited about the 1 serving breakfast recipes until I looked closer and saw that almost all of them contained some kind of cheese. Being allergic to dairy pretty much limits me to a couple of smoothy recipes that I could probably substitute the milk for soy milk. I could leave the cheese off but why bother when breakfast eggs go great with cheese. I wasn't always allergic. This is a good attempt but it falls short.

If you haven't had any previous books about low-carb, then this is a good general introduction book. I did not find a lot that was new, however, as i have several other books which is why I gave it 4 stars.
