Cutting the Carbs: Low-Carb Diet Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe cutting carbohydrates. Writers describe the reason for starting — a prediabetes letter, a type 2 diagnosis, PCOS, epilepsy, migraine, weight, or a partner who started first — and the first fortnight: the headaches, the flatness, the electrolytes nobody mentioned, the cravings. There is living in a kitchen: the cooking that suddenly has to happen, the shopping bill, the social meals, the family who did not sign up for this, and the endless label reading. Writers report what the numbers did with unusual precision — the glucose readings, the A1c, the triglycerides and the LDL that went in an unexpected direction for some — and cover carbohydrate restriction for reasons other than weight. Later chapters hold dietitians' and physicians' perspectives, the medication deprescribing that had to be supervised, and the cases where it simply did not work or could not be sustained.

Who it's for

For anyone starting low-carb or keto, people with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes weighing dietary options, and readers who want the long-term adherence accounts.
