"This Low Carb Book Is Different!" Are you a little bit like Inez Wilson? She’s a 54-year-old mother-of-3 who managed to accumulate 60 unwanted pounds over the years. And she’s using a low carb diet to help herself slim down. Inez lost 20 pounds in about 3 months, and was feeling great, until one day her manager brought donuts to work. Some were glazed and twisty. Some were cream-filled and chocolaty. Some were jelly-filled and sugar-coated. And there were even old-fashioned donuts and maple bars. Inez resisted for most of the morning, but then she took one. She covered it with a paper towel and snuck it back to her desk, where she picked off bite-sized chunks and hurried them into her mouth. Learn how to resist even your favorite high carb foods. She wasn’t able to savor the donut, either. She just snuck bite after bite into her mouth until the donut was gone. Then she wanted more. She already blew it -- might as well binge! At lunch time she grabbed two more donuts, snuck them into her purse, and headed out of the building. She wolfed down the two donuts, and fetched herself a flour-tortilla burrito to top it all off. She felt briefly satisfied. But it would be two months and 13 pounds before she would give her low carb diet another try. If you can relate to Inez, if even a part of you can, then I know you’ll be thrilled to hear what I have to say as you read the rest of this letter. Inez’s story illustrates just one of the many ways we sabotage our low carb diets.
