Wake up, dieters! The low carb craze is nearly dead, and there's finally a diet where you can have your bread—and lose it too.
Everyone hates dieting, and according to Raz’s innovative approach, that’s exactly the problem. After conducting extensive research on the relationship between serotonin and complex carbohydrates such as bread, she has concluded that people are actually happier when they eat carbohydrates. And that means that they don’t crave the fattening snacks that often cause them to fall off the wagon. While Americans have been missing out on healthy whole grains and fruit on the Atkins and South Beach diets, thousands of Israelis have lost millions of pounds while still eating pasta, rice, fruit and bread—up to 12 slices a day!! She splits her book into two comprehensive plans: one two-week quick fix and one longer term program. Each includes simple and tasty recipes, and because they don’t ask participants to count calories or carbohydrates, either should be easy to follow. And, unlike the high protein plans that often carry risks of high blood pressure, cholesterol or heart problems, Raz advocates a nutritionally sound combination of low-fat whole grains and plenty of healthy daily exercise.
With an average of 10-20 pounds lost a month, and food that will keep anyone happy, Raz’s plan could be the answer to many prayers.

 | Talk Like a Man: Robert B. Parker Tribute
January 15, 2010 - I still remember the first time I heard Spenser's voice ring out in the opening chapter of The Godwulf Manuscript (1973), as he razzes the college president who's trying to hire him. What's this guy's problem? I thought. Why does he have such an attitude? The attitude, I soon learned, had deep roots...Part of it was a temperamental similarity to Spenser's creator, Robert B. Parker, who died on Jan. 18th at age 77.
