This book was a bit of an eye opener for me. It makes a convincing case that the common recommendation for a low fat diet is not well supported by the science. This pretty much flips the traditional food pyramid on its head. For people, like me, who have developed an insulin resistance and type II diabetes, the low carbohydrate (higher fat) diet may be the better option.

Ok, it's January. Had to include a diet book...

his book is way more technical than your average diet book with science in the title. Although it made the book a great deal harder to read, it's great to have the processes, studies and numbers all laid out.

I've been following a very low carb diet for a while now and wanted to reassure myself that it's not just a cranky fad that is going to end up with me becoming ill.

I periodically like to read a book on nutrition. It is a subject that in general interests me, and I enjoy the science of nutrition. I find these books not only educational but motivating. They help me refocus on my personal goals. It helped that I began a low carb diet in March, so six months in I was ready for some more education. This book is supposedly more directed towards providing professionals, doctors and nutritionists, with what they need to guide their patients through a low carb diet. I can’t speak to how effective it is as a source for that audience. For me, there were times when the science or at least the terms were a bit much, but for the most part I was able to grasp the information presented. Overall, I found this book both educational and enjoyable. It has motivated me to want to learn more, and it has led me to some additional resources as next steps.… (mais)

A good successor to my favourite Dr. Atkins book...the 1972 Revolution.
