Bought and read "The Zone" book 5-10 years ago... good stuff but fell off that diet lifestyle.

Also saw Dr. Mark Hyman on PBS, also good stuff but seems like he stretched a 15 minute brochure into a 90 minute infomercial... much like other books on diabetes, half the book is testimonies (or padding) about how the authors diet changed their life.

I agree all that is needed is to cut carbs and sugar... problem is got married three years ago and wife loves her carbs and deserts.

I have been preaching a low carb diet to her for years but don't seem to be getting through to her... she also wants to lose some #'s so I was hoping if I could give her a cook book it might help push her in that direction
