As we approach those middle years, we realize things are changing. Some are no big deal. Most people can handle a little grey here and there. And those little noises your body makes when you get out of bed each morning – nothing a little stretching can’t take care of, right? But what about that unexplained bulge starting to form around your midsection? Despite healthy eating and regular exercise, you may find you still have an unwanted spare tire. Doctors Mike and Mary Dan Eades have the solution for you.

Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution offers not just weight loss, but total wellness designed for the overweight metabolism. Paperback Edition. The book that started all for the low carb revolution.

Dana Carpender's account of learning about the low carb lifestyle that changed her life.

Diana Lee never intended to write a cookbook. All she wanted to do was be able to provide her family with sugar free, low carbohydrate muffins, cookies, sweet rolls, cakes, and pies. Through her participation in a number of Internet low carbohydrate support lists, Diana became aware that many people longed for just the types of recipes she was developing, and Baking Low Carb was born.

I have a lot of cookbooks - hundreds. Most of them are of little use to me anymore because I am a low carber, so I have begun collecting low carbohydrate cookbooks. I now have almost two dozen, and am always on the lookout for more. But like the selections in any other culinary genre, some low carbohydrate cookbooks are better than others. Nancy Moshier's Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did! Quick and Easy Low Carb Cookbook is one of the best.

Diana Lee has developed 130 recipes for cookies, cakes, pies, candy, muffins and breads that allow you to indulge yourself without hurting your new low carbohydrate lifestyle.

Last week I spent several hours on the phone with Dana Carpender, the author of How I Gave Up My Low Fat Diet And Lost Forty Pounds. I have a word of warning for you. Do not talk to Dana if you're depressed and want to stay that way. Do not talk to Dana if you're bored and want to stay that way. Dana is upbeat, informative, funny, and fascinating. It would be impossible to be in a grand blue funk when you called her and still be in one when you hung up the phone. Impossible.
