5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool for maintaining weight loss!, August 31, 2007

This review is from: Staying Power : Maintaining Your Low-Carb Weight Loss for Good (Hardcover)

I bought this because I'm finally getting close to my weight loss goal. Yes, I used Protein Power Life Plan for my weight loss and this book is geared towards low carbers, although I think almost anyone can use it.

It's a pretty simple book. There is an explanation of how you transition from a loosing phase to a maintaining phase, there are examples (taken from their practice) of how others have transitioned and there are meal plans and recipes. Most importantly tho, is that there is a section that allows 365 days of recording your meals, activities, etc.

Well written, easy to understand and great tool. A must for anyone trying to maintain a low carb lifestyle!!
