A new low carb book has just been published in the UK - The X Factor by Leslie Kenton.
What is a little different about this, is that Leslie Kenton has been well-known for a very long time for her books on vegtarianism, raw food and power juicing. A one time editor of Harpers & Queens, she seems to have done a sudden about turn.
The book is selling like hot cakes in the UK and people are beginning to sit up and take notice. My copy arrived today (courtesy of Amazon) and although I haven't even read it properly yet, it looks extremely good. She fully explains about Syndrome X (insulin resistance syndrome), how the low carb diet works, the long-term plan and has written a very good question and answer section. She describes her version of the low carb woe as a paleolithic diet rich in non-starchy vegetables and plant nutrients, top quality proteins and omega 3 fats.
I will be sitting down to read it thoroughly and will report back on its contents.
In the meantime, for anyone in the UK, she is going to be on Radio 5 on 24 January between 10pm and 11pm, and also on Gloria Hunniford's Open House on Channel 5 TV on 30 January between 1.30 and 3.30pm - should be interesting to hear her views and the response she gets.
