Book Reviews

A good low carb book can inform you about all aspects of a diet, or provide delicious recipes to keep your palate pleased.

15 Minute Low Carb Recipes Book Review star
Are you interested in eating more healthily, but hate to cook? Dana Carpender does it again with this amazing collection of quick, easy, healthy recipes.

Amazon Kindle Book Reader star
The most powerful force you have in your quest to lose weight and be healthy is information. The more you know about how to eat healthy, how to exercise properly and how to be stress-free, the more likely you are to achieve your goals. This is where the Amazon Kindle book reader comes in.

Book Review - 500 Low Carb Recipes star
The name of this book says it all - you get 500 wonderful recipes, all of them low carb, and every one we´ve tried is quite delicious!

Complete Idiot's Guide to Low Carb star
I was really impresed by the Idiot´s Guide to low carbing. Where certain other low carb books are thinly veiled attempts to bash the lifestyle, the Idiot´s Guide explains why this way of life is so healthy.

Dr. Atkins´ New Diet Revolution star
The original book came out in 1972, and with this latest release, updated in 2002, you get the latest research, knowledge and nutrition that makes the Atkins diet succeed.

Eat This Not That star
Eat This, Not That is a highly graphic, simply laid out guide to every popular restaurant as well as most grocery aisles. With easy to see photos you get an easy to understand summary of what to avoid and what to go towards in order to eat healthily.

Everyday Low Carb Cooking star
Everyday Low Carb Cooking is written by Alex Haas - who was the lead cook for the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It has great food for normal people!

Favorite Brand Name Low-Carb Recipes star
I thought the Favorite Brand Name Low-Carb Recipes book would be a sure winner. Easy-open ring binding, great photos, brand name recipes. But once I started trying to use it, it was amazingly poor.

Fitness Magazine star
Fitness magazine is aimed at women who are interested in living a healthy life. Yes, some of it is a bit "fluffy" - like listing reasons to exercise. They also mix in practical advice - how to exercise to get a flatter stomach, to get stronger legs.

Genocide! Book Review star
Genocide, a book about eating healthy by avoiding sugar, has a subtitle of "how your doctor's dietary ignorance will kill you!!!!" That quadruple exclamation point gives you an indication of how this book will read.

In Defense of Food star
Michael Pollan wrote In Defense of Food to encourage people to eat more natural foods, home cooked, out of ingredients they know. On one hand I agree completely with this message. On the other hand, I disagree with some of the commentary he provides along the way.

Lessons from the Fat-o-sphere / Eating Issues star
Lessons from the Fat-o-sphere is a missive from authors Kate Harding and Marianne Kirby - both self-proclaimed fat and happy bloggers. The book encourages all fat people to embrace their state in life.

Lessons from the Fat-o-sphere / Emotional Issues star
Lessons from the Fat-o-sphere is a book with the impact of The Secret on people who are fat. The authors - both self proclaimed fat and happy people - explain that being fat is about accepting and embracing who you are.

Lessons from the Fat-o-Sphere / Weight Issues star
Lessons from the Fat-o-Sphere discusses issues of weight and health in modern America. This "Secret" like book holds great pearls of wisdom, but like the Secret, it needs to be read with an alert mind.

Losing It - Valerie Bertinelli star
Valerie Bertinelli has always seemed the girl next door with the charmed life. She was married to rocker Eddie Van Halen, star of One Day at a Time, beautiful, funny. When we hear about the things she went through, it's like our best friend coming into our kitchen and sharing her troubles.

Low Carb 1-2-3 Cookbook star
If you´re thinking that cooking healthy is hard, be sure to check out this cookbook! Each dish has 3 ingredients, is tasty and is very good for you.

Low Carb Book Club Listing star
If you're interested in low carb recipes, be sure to join our monthly Low Carb book club! We'll discuss new cookbooks, classic favorites, and share ideas on eating a healthy low carb lifestyle.

Low Carb Dieting for Dummies Review star
I´ve read tons of low carb books, and most are really useful. As much as I tend to enjoy the Dummies series in general, though, this book is a bit questionable.

LowCarb Energy Magazine star
The LowCarb Energy Magazine came out with its first issue as July 2004 (released in April?) This glossy mag features recipes, exercises, and product reviews.

Naturally Thin - Bethenny Frankel star
In Naturally Thin, Bethenny Frankel talks about her many celebrity encounters and her ability to survive on a raisin and an almond for lunch. In between she does actually offer some sound healthy eating advice.

Prevention Total Body Guide star
The Prevention Total Body Guide is put out by the well known Prevention magazine group. It gives 10 minute workouts and promotes the low carb diet.

So I Need to Lose 15 Pounds star
Shiho Torii is a Japanese manga (comic book) author who decided to keep a running blog for 5 months on her attempts to lose 15 pounds. This ends up to be a very funny look at how universal weight loss and stress really are.

Start Living, Start Losing star
It should be clear by the cover, but this book is in many ways a long promotion of the Weight Watchers system. That's not to say it will not help others - there is something here for everyone!

Take Time for Your Life star
Think of author Cheryl as your best friend who has just read a few great books and tells you the details over lunch. She has a casual, friendly style of writing and gets the points to you in an easy to understand manner.

The 4 Day Diet - Ian K. Smith star
The 4 Day Diet by Ian K. Smith is a bit of a misnomer. It is not actually a diet you do for only four days - and the book is primarily NOT a diet book. It is all about your mindset before you take on any diet.

The Daily Fix - Alexa Fishback star
The Daily Fix by Alexa Fishback is a guide aimed at working women to finding a system of healthy eating, healthy activity and healthy mental relaxation. The book has many good tips in it for women in all situations - not just working outside the home.

The Fat Fallacy - Will Clower star
The Fat Fallacy by Dr. Will Clower explains how the French drink wine, eat rich foods and still manage to maintain healthy weights.

The Fattening of America star
The Fattening of America does a great job of remaining highly interesting while providing a *ton* of information - all linked to the studies if you want to learn more.

The French Don't Diet - Will Clower star
Dr. Will Clower explains in his book The French Don't Diet that the key to eating healthily is to incorporate it as your daily way of life. You don't go "on" a diet - you redo how eating and exercising are parts of your life.

The Healthy Carb Diabetes Cookbook star
The Healthy Carb Diabetes Cookbook is aimed at people who want to eat more healthily while explicitly avoiding high sugar and high starch meals. Many of these come down to being eating ideas rather than actual recipes.

The Low Carb Bible star
The low carb bible is a large scale, hardcover book with a ton of information. It compares the various diets, explains why they work and offers practical recipes and tips.

The Low-Carb Barbecue Book star
Dana Carpender has done it again with The Low-Carb Barbecue Book. I really have to say this is the book to have to create delicious, healthy summer foods!

The Low-Carb Comfort Food Cookbook star
There are thousands of delicious meals you can eat on a low carb diet, but sometimes you CRAVE those carbs. It might be pizza, or mashed potatoes, or other carb-rich foods. Here are ways to make low carb substitutions that are really tasty.

The Low-Carb Gourmet Cookbook star
If you´re on a low carb diet, you might think you´re stuck with burgers and veggies. Wrong! This gourmet cookbook lets you eat like a king and queen while losing weight.

The Writing Diet - Julia Cameron star
The Writing Diet by Julia Cameron helps us address something that most of us know instinctively - that a main reason we eat is emotional. By writing and journaling, we help to address those emotions - and lose weight!

Women's Home Workout Bible star
Women's Home Workout Bible is a fantastic book for any woman looking to get into better shape. It's one of the best books I've found to help you get started - from the very first steps.
