4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent low carb book!, January 26, 2006
By Victoria Shephard "size8jeans" (San Francisco Bay Area, CA, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I finished this book today. It really is as good as his blog. My one complaint, and the reason I'm giving it only 4 stars, is the numerous typos, primarily grammatical. Fix those and you have a 5 star book.

I've already lost most of my weight on low carb, but this book would be an excellect place to begin your lifestyle. Don't forget to buy the book that goes with your program, too (Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, The South Beach Diet, etc.).

This is not a "how to" book. It's an inspirational book with a lot of advice about how to overcome the difficulties that any change in eating and exercise will cause. Jimmy is honest about his struggles, and I think others can learn from how he overcame them. It's written in a conversational style and doesn't come across as preachy. He covers everything from water intake to exercise to supplements to staying motivated when the scale doesn't move.

He covers the 10 common reasons people say low carb isn't healthy, and warn that many people will try to discourage you because they feel it isn't healthy. (I've run into a LOT of this. Thankfully, I'm strong willed and don't let the naysayers get me off track.)

He talks about the importance of a support structure. This is doubly important in the face of the opposition low carbers have to face every day.

This book is well worth the read even with the typos and hopefully those can be fixed in later printings. Buy this book and read it! Then prepare to get healthy and lose weight by livin' la vida low carb!

4.0 out of 5 stars Jimmy's Excellent Journey, November 20, 2007
By TundraVision (from the Land of Sky Blue Waters) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Jimmy Moore's personal journey - from morbid obesity to Livin' La Vida Low Carb - is an evangelical accompaniment to Good Calories, Bad Calories and Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, New and Revised Edition , Atkins Complete - Fast, Easy & Healthy (Deluxe English Edition). There's a lot of "Praise the Lord!" in his life and his book - it's The Way to weight loss for chubby Christians.

As he says, this is His take on Livin' La Vida Low-Carb. It is not a "one size fits all" way of living, and he encourages the reader to modify it to what works for you.

As for this reader/reviewer/low carber: I did *not* give up caffeine, nicotine, or the occasional light beer (methinks that's Jimmy's Bible Belt talkin' there) nor commit myself to obsessive excessive exercise, and it works for me!
