Hello, All,
Again, I’m going to cross-post this on a couple of low-carb groups. Just want to get a bunch of opinions.
I’m just wondering what y’all have been reading for low-carb education. I’m picking up “New Atkins for a New You” (NANY) and “Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution” (DANDR) at the library today. When I finish those, I’m going to get “Why We Get Fat (and what to do about it)” by Gary Taubes, and “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” also by Taubes (I checked that one out a couple of years ago and didn’t make it through, it’s pretty dense). I’m also slowly working my way through “Fathead” on You-Tube, and will be checking out some other vids by Tom Naughten (sp?), and I think I saw that Gary Taubes has a bunch of lectures posted on You-Tube as well. So I have the beginning of a nice pool of educational resources already.
Just wondering what other books, magazines, blogs, web sites, documenteries, etc., y’all may use as references and resources. I just want to learn more about this WOE. I know it works (at least it did before, and is now) for me. But, I can always stand to learn more! So, please post your favorite resources! I can’t promise I’ll read, listen to, view, or whatever, them all in the next 2 weeks, but I’ll slowly get to them, and it will give us all something to talk about! .
That’s about it for now. Have an awesome day, all!!!!!
Peace,
Tom

The first book I read on low carb eating was "Fat to Skinny" by Doug Varrieur. He made it sound so simple that I thought even I could do that.0

I definitely recommend both "The Art and Science of..." books by Phinney and Volek.0

The Carbohydrate Addicts Lifespan Program and Protein Power are two books with which I have successfully lost a lot of weight. (I kept off an over-50 lb. weight loss for five years with the Carb Addicts book - but that was pre-menopause, and I have to count more rigorously now). I like Protein Power because it has calculations for customizing the plan to me rather than pretending that one plan fits everyone.0

I was very inspired by "The Rosedale Diet" (Dr. Ron Rosedale) as it gets you deep into the "good fats" lifestyle. He allows for a wider range of carbs for those less sensitive but touts the lower-carb end for those like me. New info from his book included how too much protein burns as sugar and potentially limits fat-burning if that is your goal. Also along those lines, a new e-book ($5) "Fat Fast Cookbook" helps with menus for the high-fat orientation (which I am trying out with the help of a local Dr.).
Great post. Hope we get a long list going.0 -
