Victim of Love or Lose Weight the Smart Low Carb Way

Victim of Love?: How you can Break the Cycle of Bad Relationships

Author: Tom Whiteman

ARE YOU A VICTIM OF LOVE?

"I'll just die if I can't be with him."

"If she leaves me, I'll do something drastic."

"You're my everything. I'd be nothing without you."

If you found yourself saying or thinking things like these, you may be a victim of love-someone caught in the cycle of addictive relationships. While these words make nice poetry or hit love songs, in reality they're warning signs of a relationship that's way out of balance.

Being caught in this cycle doesn't mean you have to stay there. Victim of Love? examines these kinds of unhealthy relationships and shows you how to identify their danger signs so you can avoid repeating past choices. If you're looking for balance in your life, Victim of Love? will help you break the cycle of bad relationships and find love that lasts.

Newman and Joachim explain the science behind a low-carb success and why low-carb does not mean no-carb, but rather the right sort of carbohydrates those with a low glycemic index. Unlike many other low-carb diets, this one promotes not high-fat and refined sugars but unsaturated fat instead of saturated fat, moderate amounts of lean protein, adequate fiber and the key elements of calorie control. The authors provide a low-carb pyramid of suggested eating proportions and begin with a seven-step weight loss program that promotes eating whole grains, controlling portion size and getting exercise. Each recipe (supported by a seven-day eating plan) includes a chart indicating the number of calories, diet values and diet exchanges. These are easy, basic dishes from the Hearty Country Vegetable Soup to the Lamb Chops with Olives. While many recipes are nicely spiced (such as the Turkey Drumstick Curry and Curried Chicken with Coconut), some, such as the Baked Cod with Lemon and Olive Oil, can be bland. These simple recipes are interspersed with time-saving and flavor tip sidebars and include more than 90 full-color photographs. (Apr.) Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
