Did you know that two people can have the same height and weight, but very different percentages of body fat? And did you know that more muscle is usually preserved when losing weight on a low-carb diet vs a high-carb one?

The Sonoma Diet
Are you looking for a diet with more structure than some of the low-carb diets out there? Do you miss having a piece of toast or some cereal? The Sonoma Diet may be what you're looking for. It starts out a little higher in carbs than some, and allows whole grains from the beginning. However, it also has its good and bad points, so check out my opinion on the diet as well.

 
What are Net Carbs?
A carb is a carb is a carb, right? If this is so, then why do some products marketed to low carb eaters have one number on the "Nutrition Facts" panel, and a much lower number labeled "Net Carbs", "Net Atkins Count", or something similar? I explore the various "low carb" ingredients.
