Book Reviews of Eat Carbs, Lose Weight: Drop All the Pounds You Want without Giving Up the Foods You Love
Book Review: Low Calorie, Complex Carb, Low Glycemic Diet Book
Summary: 2 Stars
Denise Austin's book, if you follow her plan, will help you lose weight. It comes from keeping calories very low (fewer than 1500 a day), eating complex carbs and protein, and exercising. There is nothing here that a person cannot get off the internet for free or in a fitness magazine from the grocery store. Austin has "daily dozen" exercises, which are a cross between yoga moves and calisthenics, and she says 30 minutes of walking a day is also necessary. Duh. She also points out the the Daily Dozen are really for people who are sedentary and not those who already are pretty fit. Another thing that bugged me was that she "tried" the low-carb diet for ONE day and it made her tried and cranky so she KNEW that it was bogus. Well, I'm not saying Atkins is the way to go, but when I went off sweets for a month I wanted to die either by my own hand or someone else's -- I was so miserable with headaches and mood swings that I thought I was hitting early menopause, yet no one would tell me that I should keep eating Hostess Ding Dongs if they make me feel better.
My biggest complaints about the book are the repetition (most of the book seems to be filler) and the way the author frequently refers to her "fans." It just got on my nerves, but that is a personal dislike and other readers may never even notice it.
