Glen Frederich, owner of LC Foods, has really got a deal for you. He has decided to sell Carb Wars; Sugar is the New Fat for just $11.50; that’s almost 50% off the list price of $21.95! But that’s not all. If you type “CARBWARS” (all caps, no space) in as a coupon code, you will get a 10% discount on everything you order in the next month.

Better Late than Never: Advice About Normal Blood Sugar From The ADA

default image

I was astonished to see the ADA logo at the top of an article titled, “Eight Tips for Super Blood Sugar Control,” in the May 24th issue of the Diabetes Health newsletter. If this was actually published with the approval of the ADA (and not another prank from Dr. Feinman*), it signals a turn-around of galactic proportions. The author, Clay Wirestone, even recommend reading the books of Gary Taubes and (are you sitting down?), Dr. Bernstein! When I was under contract to write a low-carb book for the ADA, they told me I could select anyone I wanted to write the…

PODCAST INTERVIEW WITH JIMMY MOORE!

default image

Unless you are new to the low-carb lifestyle, you are certainly familiar with Jimmy Moore’s Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb site at http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/. Jimmy serves as Grand Central Station for the low-carb community. I have him to thank for much of the success of my first book, and I was thrilled when he invited me for one of his very popular podcasts to introduce the new one. When we recorded the interview, I was confident that the book would be out, or at least available for pre-order, by…

Brainstorming in Portland for the Metabolism Society

  Dr. Feinman, founder of the Nutrition and Metabolism Society, invited me to join him and two other Northwest NMS members for a brainstorming session in Portland a little over a week ago. D offered to drive me down, so we put on a CD of Bluegrass music and took the day off for a much-needed mini-vacation. That’s me, Dr. Ann Childers, Dr. Peter Ballerstedt, and Dr. Richard Feinman in the picture above (left to right). I was thrilled to meet Dr. Ann Childers, a child and adult trained psychiatric physician who helps her patients…

Response to: “The New Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010, The Nutritional Law of the Land”

default image

The March issue of The Front Burner, published by the International Association of Culinary Professionals, included an article by Michelle Dudash titled, “The New Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010: ‘The Nutritional Law of the Land,’” with advice about how we can help implement the recommendations. This is my response: The first Dietary Goals for Americans in 1977 (1.) told us to eat more carbohydrates and less fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and salt. This same advice, carried to further extremes, is served up in the 2010 Dietary…

BLOGGER WOES

“I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone. My wish has come true. I no longer know how to use my telephone.”–Bjarne Stroustrup I want to apologize for problems on my website (carbwarscookbook.com). My husband’s computer died a year or so ago and he lost the codes that we used when we set it up, so I have not been able to update it since then and most of the links no longer work. I’ve also been having trouble with my blogging…
