Family Eating

If you want to learn about low-carb diets (e.g. the Atkins Diet, Protein Power Diet, South Beach Diet, or other low carb plans), this is a great place to start. The most important tip we can give you is this: no one diet works for every "body." In fact, we've come to believe that no one diet works for any one "body" at every stage of life. You'll fine-tune your eating plan as you learn what works for you and what doesn't. We want to help.

The route to success with low carb dieting (or any weightloss program) is to understand that you are making permanent lifestyle changes—not simply going through the motions "until you lose the weight." So stop thinking "diet" and start finding your Low Carb Zen, baby!

How can you get someone else to see the light, anyway?

My Low Carb Christmas, 2002

It's hard for me to believe it, but it's true: Christmas 2002 is already over! Here in upstate New York, we're in the middle of a huge snowstorm - it looks to Bob and I like we have AT LEAST two feet of snow already, and more is falling still! Our little street is completely quiet in the dark, and the sparkling snow is so far untouched - the tracks from the plows that came earlier have been completely obliterated.
