The Best Low Carb Books

Low carb diets are all the rage, and so are the books that talk about them. There are good books about low carb diets and there are bad books. As a beginning dieter, or if you do not have much of a product description when shopping online for books, it can be very difficult to find the best low carb books. Here are some low carb book reviews that might help you make your decision and purchases.

The Low Carb Bible by Elizabeth Ward: This book has been very popular, but in reality it is not as great as it seems. The first half of the book gives a good overview of the various low carb diets, while the second half of the book focuses on low carb recipes using stuff that you will likely find in your kitchen. While many applaud the simple, easy to make recipes, others have pointed out that the ingredients used in those recipes are on the no-no list for most low carb diets. So if you are serious about sticking to your low carb diet, you might want to check out other low carb books.

Living the Low Carb Life by Johnny Bowden: This is one of the more highly praised low carb books. This book is not a cookbook, and it is not an advertisement for a particular diet plan. This book simply outlines the benefits of learning to eat more healthy by limiting your carb intake, regardless of what diet plan you are following. This is a great informative book for anyone thinking about or already on a low carb diet.

Of course, there are always those low carb books that are written for "dummies" or "idiots" that are very funny and surprisingly informative. There is, as with everything these days, a book called Low Carb Dieting for Dummies. There is also the Complete Idiots Guide to Low Carb Meals. Check out these low carb books if you want a lighter read with great information that won't put you to sleep.

Of course the best low carb books are the ones that explain the full theory and process of a low carb diet. There are several low carb books in this category by Dr. Atkins. There are also low carb books about the South Beach diet, and a few others. One of the lesser known low carb diet books is called The 30 Day Low Carb Diet Solution. This book is actually not recommended by most doctors, because the focus of this book is to lose weight quickly. The purpose of Atkins and South Beach diets is to develop a new way of life that will help you lose weight and keep that weight off while becoming healthier all around. These types of low carb books are the ones to steer toward.
