From the Author

I've been coaching and advising hundreds of individuals for years helping them to lose weight and get healthy. The diet that I have found 100% successful is a variation of a low carb diet I outline in The Low Carb Rule & Recipe Book. Specifically, I adress those who really have a tough time losing weight. A high carb diet just wont work for many and that's where reducing your carbs comes into play which forces the body to burn fat. To maintain the diet, you'll need to eat delicous and satisfying food. We've got over 225 recipes to fit fill that void.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Low Carb Rule & Recipe Book by Chris Aceto, November 20, 2002

You know what they say "you can't judge a book by it's cover" ... but it was the cover that first caught my attention...then the title. I have read so many diet books and none have motivated me like this book. The writting style was easy for me to follow and I especially loved how they supported their concepts with the medical journal notes. The low carb diet may seem extreme but I felt I needed to take extreme measures as everything had failed. I couldn't put the book down and read it in one night. I jumped into the diet program the next morning and I have never looked back. YES...successfully losing 15lbs in just 6 weeks...and more exciting is that I didn't starve, to my surprsing I truly enjoyed the great tasting meals. 5 stars to Chris and Catherine for helping find the way to a permanent full proof fat loss formula. You can be sure I have spread the word to all my friends...I counldn't help it as they all wanted to know my secret.

Cheers!

A few months ago, as I was feeling totally bummed out because no matter how much effort I was putting into watching my weight, I never got the results I wanted. I felted completely helpless. The scale never moved and my clothes remained tight. I did some research on low carb dieting and came across The Low Carb Rule & Recipe Book. I've lost 29 pounds in 8 weeks, I'm never hungry, I feel better and more energetic and I love the recipes in this book. If your frustrated, I strongly recommend this book for you. It is packed with easy to understand low carb facts and instruction from how to get started to how to maintain your weight loss. If you've heard about low carb dieting and don't know the in's and outs so to speak, then get this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Liberation at Last!, November 20, 2002

I was not really a fat kid, but I have struggled with my weight since I was a teenager and after I married, the weight started to come on and on. I felt bad and the extra weight put a wedge between me and my wife. I just couldn't stop eating. I snacked all day at work and guzzled soda like it was water. Now, after reading The Low Carb Rule & Recipe Book I am just psyched at the changes my body has gone through. I've lost 40 pounds in 6 months with another 70 to go. People already don't recognize me. I feel better, my wife is happy and I am NEVER HUNGRY!
