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."

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! I am with you guys so I still give 5 stars to the author but say with you: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! I just cant believe it's possible to treat authors like that!

Although I gave it 5 stars long ago, I now say - it's an outdated, poorly edited book by a very, very BAD publisher! The author was not and is not able to update or even remove this book from sales since the publisher don't react to any requests and don't pay royalties! I saw the statement of the new diet guide on lifetips.com. I am contacting other reviewers to object this sales! Hope they'll join me.

This is a book that's really needed in our days of dieting disappointment. Yes, low carb diets do have their loopholes but they are not dead! I personally lost 8 kg on one of the programs.

I wrote a positive review back in perhaps 2007, when these tips were much needed. But know, the author advanced greatly and when I contacted her asking why wouldn't she update the tips, I've been shocked to learn that she has no means to improve the book and that the publisher doesn't pay her the royalties.

MY OLD REVIEW

I liked that there's no canned tips one can read all over the Net and in too many books. In fact, I used this book to better educate myself and I understood why I stalled on Atkins.

I liked this book for at least two reasons - because it opened my eyes on low carb dieting and because it did it in a very concentrated way the tips can do.

Before reading the 101 Low Carb Diet Tips I thought all low carb diets are alike. Not anymore! I now understand how they are different, how they all work and why about 20 percent of dieters are bound to fail on Atkins while almost any beginner can succeed on much more liberal South Beach.

I also liked that there's practically no commonplace 'wisdom' in the book like the low fat crap that is still given out to us by some of the certified professionals. The author based the tips on a solid scientific background including clinically tested calculations for the ketogenic diet as well as its 'light' version used in Banta diet (the calculated recipes are really good!)

Most of the tips have source or references listed, which at least for me add to the book credibility.

I am giving my 5 stars to the author BUT NOT to the book!

I am Dr Zilberter's clients since 2002 and never thought that any her book will have this bad luck. I'm joining with the reviewer explaining what's happened to the book and protest the way this publisher treats the authors: no tools to correct all that is done to make the book so awfully poor!

I completely agree with other reviewers that the publisher do not deserve to have authors like Dr Zilberter! DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

I am one of the many Dr Zilberter successful dieters and leave my five stars to her, not to the book.

Funny, I found the content to be nothing BUT canned tips and easily found web content - sorely disappointed.

almost half the tips were recipes, and almost all the rest were what the rest of us would call paragraphs of text. (new paragraph, new tip - what a silly method of stretching a few pages of content into a book)

Extremely poor product. You can find this info and recipes with any decent net search.

I found this book to be a complete waste of money. I ended up throwing it away after a quick scan. I own LOTS of low carb books and cookbooks and this was a waste of my time and money.
