Low carb in a nutshell
M. Truese (the only one so afar who gave the book one star) have the right to like a book or not, but to write a one-star review, one must at least be honest!

For example, M. Truese concludes: "You can find this info and recipes with any decent net search" - it's plainly not true. All recipes are calculated using a formula no scientist would doubt about - to shift the insulin-glucagon balance toward glucagon thus enhancing lipolysis and ketogenesis. It's all explained in the book. Yes, M. Truese's "decent search" will definitely result in quite a few recipes - BUT they will be either clinical ketogenic recipes too unpalatable for a normal dieter, OR they will be Dr. Zilberter's. It's snot her fault that they became so popular that are posted on most low carb forums.

Speaking of recipes: I'm pleased that they are now a cookbook here on Amazon:180 Banta Diet Recipes: Can be used as a standalone diet tool. No food is prohibited. No calorie count or portion control.

Back to the 101 tips: 101 Low Carb Diet Tips I am a low carb dieter reached my goal on the program developed by this book's author. These 101 tips is what I missed on the diet since I didn't have enough time to read the diet's knowledge base chapters. Looking back, I see how a concentrated advice could help me in the otherwise easy process!

A Top Diet Book!
I am so glad I brought this book! It has helped me to get rid of the carbohydrates in my diet and effectively burn fat while still eating great.
The recipes are simple to make and truly delicious.

101 Low Carb Diet Tips showed me how to substitute low-carb items instead of high-fat content foods. This is a very nice book. One of the best books in the LifeTips Series!

Very practical
101 Low Carb Diet Tips

Though it's only a tip book, it's absolutely practical: you get the basics and theories behind major low carb diets, footnoted critique -- but also 'cookable' recipes. I just bought the book and right away, tried one of the quick dessert recipes - very good indeed. As Dr Zilberter writes, "The bottom line is, low carb is good for you - if you know the ropes. This is what these tips are all about."
