Amazon.com The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan The word "miracle" isn't in the title， but perhaps it should be. In The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan， The Drs. Heller (The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet) have designed a tremendously simple week-long "jump start" for anyone who wants to give low-carb living a shot--or even a second try. With their emphasis on lean proteins and plenty of fiber， rather than plain "slabs of meat" at every meal， you'll actually be adding food to your daily regimen for the first days of the program. As you continue the week， carb-heavy foods will be moved to the end of meals; partially removed; and removed entirely. A generous handful of recipes are included， all of which include plenty of spices and flavor， from the mushroom garlic dip to the sesame pork with garlic cream sauce. Some， like a flour-free "crepe，" can be made ahead in stacks and frozen for later munching. The remainder of the book is helpful even to those who are doing a decent job sticking to your plan during typical days， but have problems when faced with holidays or dinners out with friends. The Hellers detail a few typical experiences we all encounter--waiting for friends at a bar and "rewarding" ourselves with sugar-laden desserts is one--and then demonstrate how to avoid typical pitfalls. Repeated urgings to "take care of yourself first" and deal with emotional issues behind food aim at long-term solutions， while methods of polite refusal will help those who feel they simply can't say "no" to a full bread basket at a restaurant. Whether you're picking up where you left off or just looking for some new techniques for keeping your weight stable， chances are you'll find them in this upbeat， encouraging book. --Jill Lightner Book Description Drs.
