Good Calories, Bad Calories

I joined a low-carb dieters' forum this week.  My decision to do this is because I am lacking a support base at home, and I am interested in seeing what other people are going through whose lives are so similar to mine.  I connect to people more efficiently through an internet medium anyways, so a forum fits my personality style very well.  I like that there are also resources I am not privy to as a single person in a forum setting.  One such resource is the title of this particular blog entry, actually.

Gary Taubes is the author of a book that a lot of the forum members suggested or have already read, Good Calories, Bad Calories.  As a preview to the book I found an article in an old issue of Mother Earth News magazine available online that gave me a good insight as to what Taubes' book might be like.  I have an e-book copy now of the real deal, but I am very tempted to look on Amazon and see if I can get a copy of the paperback for cheap (since this book has been out a while).  I like the feel and convenience of a hardcopy book, and I can read it easily in a three day span if I have it in my hands all the time and don't have to rely upon a computer.

Here's a link to the Mother Earth News article:  Good Calories, Bad Calories

I am now 228.6 -- lost two pounds in 24 hrs -- so I think the hitch I had with losing might be overcome!
