From the Book Jacket:

    In Living Low-Carb, Fran McCullough explains the various approaches to the low-carb diet and lifestyle, and helps you figure out which approach-or combination of approaches-is right for you. McCullough sorts through the various objections to the diet raised by the nutritional establishment and tells you what you really need to know. She provides an arsenal of secret weapons and gives special attention to everyday problems, such as how to handle impromptu dinner invitations and how to keep on track while you travel, whether you're backpacking, eating on a plane, or traveling abroad.

    A highly respected cookbook editor and author, McCullough sees her subject from a pleasure-eater's perspective. Living Low-Carb includes more than 175 real-food recipes that are simple, delicious, and designed to keep you eating low-carb happily-and healthily for the rest of your life. McCullough has tracked down specialized kitchen tools that make low-carb meals especially easy and enjoyable, and provides sources for finding great low-carb products (including bread). She takes you on a tour of the world of fake sugars and includes a list of Web sites that offer more information and support.

    Everyone who stays low-carb for more than a few months eventually finds his or her own way of doing it, and Living Low-Carb features real-life stories from successful low-carb dieters from a wide range of backgrounds. These stories are inspiring and instructive, explaining what people really eat and how the regimen works for them.

    Whether you're a low-carb beginner or a long-term dieter who has already solved a health and weight problem and now wants to stay the course, Living Low-Carb is an invaluable resource.
