The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan on Sale April 27


NEW YORK, April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- For all low-carb dieters -- on all programs -- who need real help, right now, authors Drs. Rachael and Richard Heller introduce a plan that eases them back onto their low-carb eating program in just one week.
For the more than 50 million dieters on low-carb programs, including the AtkinsDiet® and the South Beach Diet®, who will fall off the wagon (or who have already fallen off), Drs. Hellers' new book, The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan (Dutton; $23.95) is the answer. Holidays, vacations, stress, boredom, and the wear and tear of never-ending daily deprivation chip away at the most sincere commitment. "What starts out as a simple 'cheat' inevitably leads to bona fide failure," says Dr. Rachael Heller, who with her husband, Dr. Richard Heller, have had three of their books in the #1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list. "In the end, most low-carb dieters are left to watch helplessly as their eating spirals out of control and the pounds creep (or rush) back," she adds. See www.7daylowcarb.com.

I wanna know what kind of ice cream shes eating!

thanks for posting this. I saw where they had a new book out but all I could find was what Amazon said about it, which wasn't a whole lot.

I think I am going to order it. Might come in handy.

I wanna know what kind of broccoli she's eating!

When they say stalks, do they mean the whole "head"? Who eats that much broccoli at a time?

Based on this:

http://www.carb-counter.org/veg/search/Broccoli/1100

...two medium stalks would have 25.8 gm Total Carb and about 14 gm Net Carb.

I'm sure the broccoli has more fiber than the ice cream. Not to mention nutrition ...

Dove Bar®: 350 calories, 43% from carbohydrates and 51% from fat. That makes about 150 calories from carbohydrates, or roughly 37-38 gm net carbs for the Dove Bar vs the 14 gm net carbs from the 2 medium broccoli stalks.

I just checked the labels of the 3 different brands of chocolate-covered ice cream bars sold in the snack shop of my office building (Haagen-Daz, Snickers, and Nestle Crunch). They ranged from 29 gm net carbs to 22 gm net carbs. The carbs were 90% sugar or higher.

I suppose that if you dipped your broccoli in table sugar repeatedly, you might be able to drive the carb count up to the standards of these snacks.

The Helllers don't count Net carbs, just total carbs. So the broccoli would have 25.8 and the ice cream bar would have 29.

And I want to know who's gonna eat a 10" stalk of broccoli??? I usually cut off the flowerettes and toss the stalk (probably losing all the nutrients... but I don't like em) or I just by broc crowns

Anywhoo.... This book seems like it would be a valuable addition.

Anyone who warns people from eating brocoli loose all respect in my book.

What is this backward system of including fiber in the carb count ? That makes zero sense.

Here's a good explanation for you:

I have problems with anyone who is suggesting that broccoli is the equivalent of ice cream. They are aiming at people who are having trouble staying on their plan. I can very easily imagine a lot of those people saying, "If the ice cream is just as bad for me as the broccoli, I may as well go ahead and eat ice cream." In my opinion, this would be a very unfortunate outcome. I do believe in the theory of net carbs and I also know that eating broccoli has lots of nutritional benefits while eating ice cream has none. Also, in terms of blood sugar, broccoli is low on the glycemic index and ice cream is high. I consider it highly irresponsible for them to put forth information in this way targeted at people who are already off their plan.

How can you have a craving and yet not be aware of it, isn't that a contradiction in terms ?
