Excellent alternative to Atkins

Carbs are your bodies major source of energy. In a world where dozens of low carb diet books are released and rehashed every year, it is a pleasure to hear someone tell us about "good carbs"....yes there really are good carbs and this book tells you where to find them and how they can help you lose weight and improve your health. My personal belief is that you must change your diet AND your lifestyle to get the Trim, Fit & Healthy body you are looking for. I just read another excellent complimentary book that you may also want to check out, it helps you change your lifestyle for permanent and automatic weight loss..."The Power of Positive Habits."

this book taught me so much!

i don't like to change recipes that have been in my family for generations...but when my doctor told me i needed to make some major changes to my diet, he recommended this book. it has been quite useful in helping me gain an understanding of how carbohydrates interact with the body! now i can control my hunger without leaving my comfort zone. i'm going to buy copies as gifts for all my family and friends!
