I hope the information dispensed by Dr. Kotz is better than what she expounds on the Atkins website. Her advice on that site suggest that you read the label of regular brewed beers for carbohydrate information.
“A 12-ounce can of beer contains about 12.5 grams, but you have to read the label since carbohydrate content varies from brand to brand,” says the doctor.
Unfortunately, carbohydrate counts are NOT given on regular brewed beers. Makes you wonder if she’s ever drank a beer in her life if that’s the kind of “accurate” info she pens. Equally suspicious is the fact that she’s contributed as an “expert” to Weight Watchers, The Zone, Slim-Fast, and Atkins. Suprised she hasn’t jumped on the South Beach Diet bandwagon too.

Not much to recommend this book. I have read the other zone books which were delightful and entertaining in the way they sought to impose a lifestyle change.

In looking for a low-carb diet, I decided to purchase several books on the subject matter in order to educate myslef and find the diet best suited to my needs. I’m a vegetarian – so low-carb diets in general are a little difficult. This book seems far better suited to meat eaters. Also, this book was intended to sell the “Zone” diet to the medical community by proving the scientific facts behind it. Fine and dandy if you’ve just got to understand every single reason for every single thing, but otherwise it comes off as TOO MUCH INFO! I really just wanted a brief on what to eat and why – I didn’t need to look back 500,000 years and study the effects of our diet from a thousand different angles.

This book is very easy to understand but I have one question I am hoping someone can help me. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner there is a 10 gram fat , 20 gram protein, and 30 gram carbohydrate. Is it possible to just use the information on carbohydrates and just eat a meal of 90 carbs a day. I’m very useless in the kitchen and there seems to be so many low carb products out in the market that seem to have the right amount of carbs but a slightly higher number of protein and I was wondering I could still stay in the zone even if the protein goes over 20 grams. ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE SO HELPFUL AND APPRECIATED.
