Based on the groundbreaking protocol used at the HEAL Diabetes and Medical Weight Loss Centers, The Low-Carb Diabetes Solution Cookbook helps you heal type 2 diabetes where it starts - a faulty diet. Leading low-carb expert and best-selling author and CarbSmart writer Dana Carpender has developed 200 recipes that enable you to eat deliciously, keep your carb counts in the proper range, and reverse your diabetes naturally.

Everything you wanted to know about Ketosis and the Ketogenic diet by the top experts in nutrition and science. Jimmy Moore and Dr. Eric Westman have been on a mission to help us understand what the low carb lifestyle means to our health.

Dr. James Carlson points out the problems with current medical thinking. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn more about the role of dietary nutrition in healthcare.

Have you ever wanted to have a nice elegant dinner party, complete with invitations, themes, centerpieces, and Paleo foods? Bill Staley and Hayley Mason take Paleo entertaining to a whole new level; from a cozy brunch to an elaborate holiday meal.

I had the privilege of meeting Jonathan Bailor and his lovely wife Angela on the 2013 Low Carb Cruise. I was impressed by Jonathan's passion for helping others and his talk was informative and entertaining. By the end of the cruise I knew I had to read his book The Smarter Science of Slim. I can honestly say this book didn't disappoint.

Interview with Jimmy Moore and Dr. Eric Westman about Cholesterol Clarity. Dana Carpender asks the authors why they wrote the book and where all the misinformation came from that led us to this state.

The title of this book gave me a good chuckle. Why wouldn't anyone believe in a nutrition-based, natural approach to health and healing? It seems we are fixated on the idea that health must come in the form of a pill or some other expensive method, often less effective than simpler approaches.

What's good about the cookbook Peace, Love, and Low Carb by Kyndra Holley? First of all, the recipes are great. Kyndra has come up with a wide and imaginative array of dishes so it's hard to decide what to try first.
