anyone low carbing?

I have read and done the Atkins before. Lost over 30 pounds. I haven't read The Zone. I have read Suzanne Sommers, more of food combining.

Does anyone have a favorite?

I like the cleansing diets, they help you lose weight and get all the bad stuff out of you. My personal favorite is the master cleanse. the book i read was by Peter Glickman.

Of the ones you mentioned, I think Suzanne Somers' books are the best. The book that has the best diet and proper food combining is Fit for Life, written by a couple by the name of Diamond.

I have done Atkins in the past and lost over 30 lbs.

I also have done the Fit for Life diet too.
They are both good.

I keep trying to get back to the Atkins diet, but seem to keep falling off the wagon.

I know I feel better when I'm eating right. But you know they say that the Atkins diet was bad for your health. But I happen to think it's the sugar and bread that's really bad for you.
I get stressed out too easy and then I reach for sugar.

Going to give it a good try again, starting today. Got to get healthy.

I have heard the same thing. How can a diet of non starchy veggies, chicken, meat be bad? I agree with you it is the overeating of bread and sugar that is bad for us.

I am going to find some time today to read more of the book, then plan menus for the week. I will post them.
