hi! I'm 24 years old and my doctor just diagnosed me as being prediabetic. He wants me on a "restriced carb" diet, but didn't specify which plan. He told me that he wants me only having between 30-40 carbs a day and I don't really know where to begin. Anyone know of any good books to look into? Thanks!

For a good overview of the plans, get Johnny Bowden's Living the Low Carb Life. IT gives a good review of all teh plans...and there are a LOT of them out there. For a seriously restricted plan like it sounds your doctor is suggestion I would recommend Atkins. You start at 20 and work up to a level comfortable to you and at which you no longer lose or gain weight. I would also put in a call to your doctor and ask for a plan suggestion or more instructions.
