Dr. Carlton Fredericks' Low Carbohydrate Diet

I found this at a second hand store for $1 - the original price was $0.95! But it has been a great program for me. Simply stated, cut carbs of all kinds (except fiber) to 60 grams a day, and eat some protein 2-3 times a day. Easy, well defined. He says to do it in 6 meals a day, but I don't worry too much about that, and the weight is coming off. One of the coolest parts of the book is that he outlines the history of low carb diets. He includes a reprint of a pamphlet from 1863 of low carb diet followed by a guy in England, and he mentions others. Funny how little has changed in medicine since 1965 when this little gem came out. Buy it and enjoy.

I'm assuming the 1982 version is just as good. Buy it and enjoy.
