Thanks for any help.

The book is called "Cheat To Lose by Joel Marion.
My local Barnes and Noble didn't have the book in stock and I had to order it. As I said earlier in this thread, I was drawn to thies WOE because I had tried carb cycling before and it worked, but I didn't have any real solid information to go on. This book supplied me with the information I needed to put a real plan into practice. PLUS it makes so much sense. It goes into details without being too technical.
I know what you mean about buying yet another book, but I only paid $13.95 for mine and it was well worth it. As you read it, you just get the "feeling" that you can do this. It tells you when to add the carbs, why you're adding them, and how to add them. It's the same with the fat you're to eat
It's funny but as appealing as the cheat days are, that wasn't the most important aspect of this WOE for me. It was not having to give up any veggies (except the starchier ones at first) in the very beginning. I am looking forward to the cheat days - and it is very comforting to know that they are there and are actually an absolute "must" for this to work. But also there are so many options on this plan that you should never feel deprived.
To listen to me you'd think I've been doing this for months and it's actually been only a week, but I honestly don't feel like I can go wrong on this plan. So I say go for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
