Just another of the anti-carb, get on the band wagon books. The best way to lose weight and get healthier is to exercise and eat in moderation. This anti-carb stuff is nonsense. If you exercise regularly, don't snack, and eat the good foods like fresh fruit and vegetables, you won't have to worry about gimmick diets. Why can't people wake up and smell the coffee?I don't think people have to give up pasta or anything else that tastes good just so they can follow the latest guru and fad. Eat less, exercise and don't eat if you're depressed. Got it?My late Grandma Jane used to say, "Everything in moderation, including moderation." She was right.
