Low Carb

[Guest guest]

Ellen:

I missed responding to you to also, even though I thought of a

response -- doesn't count since you can't read my mind.

As you know, I'm in Atlanta too, so our power was out all day

yesterday too. Glad to hear yours was restored.

Anyway -- the low carb thing -- I still need to learn more about

this. However, I thought I would tell you about a couple of books. One

is a new one--not yet released-- from Barry Sears, who wrote the

original " Zone " books & cookbooks. I came across it on the Barnes &

Noble website, and it was titled " Vegetarian Zone " . When I looked

again, that title was missing, but there was one (still yet to be

released) called " Soy Zone " . I guess, perhaps, he just decided to

retitle the book.

Another book, which I believe is a low-carb program, which I also

don't know much about is " The Schwarzbein Principle Vegetarian Cookbook "

by Dr. Diana Schwarzbein. When reading the reviews on Amazon, most

people praised the book, but one person said that both his and his

wife's cholesterol levels skyrocketed while on the diet. She has other

books, one explaining the diet program, and another non-veg cookbook.

Sounds like both of these are ideas you might want to check into

further.

Good luck and take care!

As a side note, this week's cookbook of the week, Moosewood Restaurant

Daily Special, has in the back listings of recipes under particular

categories -- low fat, vegan, etc., and includes a listing for low-carb

recipes. Of course, you can't eat just soup, but it's a start! ha ha!
