This is an excellent book, it's so affirming and gives you a really good premise on which to build your good health. I am a strong proponent of the Atkins Diet for Life. I've been living low-carb for a few years, and I have so much energy and maintain my optimal weight. I'm 42, and can see this life style for myself for years to come. My husband also 'gets' it and likes the meals I prepare, which includes lots of fresh veggies. This book is really, really good if you are a low-carb fan. And if you are not yet, it may convince you to be. It is thoroughly researched, and gives good arguments for living low-carb. It's fascinating how we are completely brain washed to believe that measuring 'calories in, calories out' and eating low fat is the only way to be healthy. Trying to excercise, eat low fat, and guilt yourself into being healthy just doesn't work. My one critique is that this author doesn't site excercise as necessarily being a piece of the puzzle, and I think regular excercise is critical to good health and maintainance of a stable weight.
