Hello Everyone! My husband tells me he's willing to start low carbing the day after Easter. I'm thrilled, but I'd like to be able to give him a good reference book that can explain what's going on. He read Wheat Belly years ago and pronounced it too extreme.

His cholesterol is elevated but he's not currently taking statins, though the doc wanted him to. His blood sugars are very slightly elevated and his doc told him to watch it. He's on high blood pressure meds. I'd like him to understand what's going on with his body. He's supposed to go back to the doc in the middle of June (with new bloodwork) so I want him to understand what may happen with his cholesterol numbers.

Any recommendations? I was thinking about the original Atkins or maybe one of Gary Taubes' books, but I've never read any low carb books, so I'm basing that on things I've read other people say.
