Cheated? New low-carb plan gets dieters back on weight-loss track in seven days

For the more than 60 million dieters on low-carb programs, including the AtkinsDiet� and the South Beach Diet�, who might fall off the wagon or who have already fallen off, Drs. Hellers' new book, The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan (Dutton; $23.95) is the answer. Holidays, vacations, stress and boredom chip away at the most sincere commitment.

"What starts out as a simple 'cheat' inevitably leads to bona fide failure," says Dr Rachael Heller, who with her husband, Dr Richard Heller, have had three of their books in the No. 1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list.

"In the end, most low-carb dieters are left to watch helplessly as their eating spirals out of control and the pounds creep (or rush) back," she adds.

The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan is a day-by-day, scientifically-based motivation program that will immediately reduce cravings, satisfy the body's need for carbohydrates, and help low-carb dieters regain control over their eating and their weight-in seven days or less.
