I have called myself a carb addict for years (since the day a food diary showed french toast for breakfast, garlic bread for lunch, and pizza for dinner) I got this bok in a deal just to check it out and was blown away by the information in it. I read the first 200 pages of stories and guidelines in two days and am now on the second day of the first diet I've ever been on in my life. It's early, but the book s thought provoking and I'm going to give it a good try! There's a test inside (19 yes or no questions) to help decide if this is the lifestyle choice for you. No down side to giving it a read (but you can't have my copy! :)
This copy is an an ex-library. Cover has stickers. Other than that it is in good condition.
Do you have a hard time stopping once you start eating bread, pasta, or sweets? Than this book is for you! Filled with sound advice and effective stratiegies, including wonderful recipies and menu plans.
This book is new look at diets. It's filled with advice,recipes and menu plans. The carbohydrate addict's test is very helpful.
