About the Author

Karen Rysavy is a career-long recipe developer and food writer, and a low-carb lifestyle success story if there ever was one. She's been quoted by Dr. Robert Atkins in his book Atkins for Life and, through her Web site (http://www.trulylowcarb.com) and in her writing for food magazines, walks the walk and talks the talk about the myths and realities of the low-carb lifestyle (it's a productive, healthy way of living, not just a quick-fix diet).

This review is from: Learn the Low-Carb Lifestyle for 5 Bucks (Learn...for 5 Bucks) (Paperback)
"What can someone who's been living the low carb lifestyle for five years say about a basic book like Karen Rysavy's "Learn the Low Carb Lifestyle for 5 Bucks"?

BUY IT! This book is not only the absolute best short version of how and why low-carb works, but Karen's informal style and first-hand knowledge of the subject make this little gem a joy to read. It got me excited about low-carb all over again!

Whether you're a beginner, or a beginning-again dieter, you'll find "Learn the Low-Carb Lifestyle for 5 Bucks" a suprisingly meaty (LOL) and helpful guide to improving your health by controlling your carbs."

If you are curious about the low carb lifestyle, or have been living it for years, this is the book to read! Karen has done a fabulous job of putting together an easy to read, informative book that everyone can understand. From plan summaries to helpful tips, her down-to-earth explianations and experience are priceless. For only $5, no low carber should be without this book in their library.
