Summary: Excellent alternative to Atkins
Review: Carbs are your bodies major source of energy. In a world where dozens of low carb diet books are released and rehashed every year, it is a pleasure to hear someone tell us about "good carbs"....yes there really are good carbs and this book tells you where to find them and how they can help you lose weight and improve your health. My personal belief is that you must change your diet AND your lifestyle to get the Trim, Fit & Healthy body you are looking for. I just read another excellent complimentary book that you may also want to check out, it helps you change your lifestyle for permanent and automatic weight loss..."The Power of Positive Habits."

Review: GOOD CARBS , BAD CARBS?? what are these people thinking? you can eat carbs and still lose weight in the same amount of time or even more than if you didnt eat carbs. - this is bull . for the past month and 13 days i have eaten healthy low fat great tasting lean cuisine meals and exercised for an hour a day or at least 5 days a week on tredmill and ate lots of carbs and i still lost weight. i lost 18 pounds so far. theres ur solution to weight loss - eat healthy , have snacks in between like cereal , egg , veggies and dip or fruit and work out on the tredmill at a medium to high pace so you feel your heart going and your sweating a little and i guarentee you you will lose weight. forget about the carb thing , u can have anything u want in moderation just exercise!

Summary: Outdated and patronizing
Review: I didn't expect much from this book and I got even less. The information presented walks the old "food pyramid" party line, advocating a high carbohydrate diet. The authors seem to be trying to capitalize on the interest generated by the latest studies on carbohydrates, but without adding any new information. The back of the book does have a short (8.5 pages) list of "glycemic index values," but rather than listing the actual glycemic values of anything, they resort to the patronizing, vague and annoying practice of assigning everything a value of "gusher," "tricker," or "intermediate." They also list whether each food in the table is a "sugar" or a "starch," a line of thinking proven meaningless. As an example of the discredited advice they offer, "healthy" snacks recommended in the book include: chewy granola bars, graham crackers, pretzels and cookies. In a menu they recommend for a second-grader, the foods include pre-sweetened breakfast cereal, graham cookies, and sugar-sweetened pudding...all in the same day! Even if you can get past the unsettling "gushers and tricklers" analogies used ad nauseum throughout the book, you are unlikely to gain any new, much less valid information.
