CHOOSING THE RIGHT BOOK
FOR YOURSELF OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE
One Size Doesn't Fit All
If you are addicted to carbohydrates, your body reacts to starches, snack foods, junk food, and sweets in a whole different way. Your body drives you to eat more and more and to gain weight more easily. For you, loss of control is clearly not a matter of will power but simply a matter of biology.
You need a program that corrects the cause of your cravings and weight gain and improves your health all at the same time - without asking you to measure or weigh your food, count grams, or limit your portions.
You need a program that offers you the food you love, every day, including the carbohydrate-rich foods that we all need and enjoy, while cutting your cravings and helping to balance your insulin and blood sugar levels.
The books below provide a choice of programs that include step-by-step plans and jump-start plans. Some focus on health issues, some on weight loss, some on both. Some plans are more appropriate for kids, some for those over 40, and some are appropriate for adults of all ages.
An Easy Guide
Choosing the right book is easy. Look over the books and the descriptions that follow; each provides easy and concise info. As you read, you're almost sure to find the one that calls to you and offers you the help you have been seeking.These books are the result of over a decade of scientific research but, even more, they are written with love and compassion, from two authors who have lost a total of over two hundred and fifty pounds and who have maintained their ideal weight - without struggle or deprivation - for over a twenty-five years.
In the books that follow, may you, or someone you love, find the joy and freedom that we and so many others have found and that we will never take for granted.

Book Description from Amazon Books:
"Drawing from their breakthrough research into the
carbohydrate-insulin connection to excess weight and poor
health that made The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet such
a huge best seller, the Hellers offer readers a
comprehensive, straightforward STAR program--a plan that is
Simple, Targeted, Adaptable, and Rewarding."
Reader Comments:
"This book saved my life. My weight and blood pressure were
out of control. I hated myself, I hated being fat, and I
hated the medication I was taking. I was becoming diabetic
and my doctor was about to put me on more medication, now
something to bring down my blood sugar. I had no place to
turn. Then I found The Carbohydrate Addict's LifeSpan
Program. An easy-to-follow program based on a few simple
guidelines and lots of options and I could eat what I loved,
lose weight, and get healthy at the same time. It's almost
too good to be true. Most amazing: I don't crave
carbohydrates anymore and now, no medications. I'm slim and
happy and healthy. It's really is my personal miracle."
Pointers from the Drs.
Heller:
This book contains
up-to-date research that readers will find vital to
permanent success including the pinpointing and eliminating
craving and weight gain triggers for the carbohydrate addict
such as "healthy foods," over-the-counter medications,
additives and artificial sweeteners, stress, the simple act
of growing older, and many others. Essential Reward Meal
balance information and vegetarian and low-fat guidance and
recipes are included. Important new information for those
following the CA Diet and a smart choice for the newcomer as
well.

Book Description from Amazon Books:
"When the Hellers wrote their bestselling The Carbohydrate
Addict's Diet, readers begged them for an eating program
they could share with their children. This book explains how
children--overweight or not--can beat sweets and junk-food
cravings to take back control of their weight, their
feelings, and their behavior."
Reader Comments:
"I cannot express how grateful I am for this book. My son is
a new child. He no longer dreads schoolwork; he no longer
fears the teasing he used to endure. He feels like a success
for the first time in his young life. What more can I say? I
thank God that I realized, as the Hellers say, that "it was
not what was eating my child, but what my child was eating"
that was causing his problems and that their program really
worked!"
"Just like me, my daughter was carbohydrate addicted. Maybe
I should say 'is carbohydrate addicted' but since she's been
on the program, she no longer craves the junk food that used
to rule her life. She has lost more than twenty pounds (five
more to go) and without a single battle. She looks wonderful
and she is the happiest I have ever seen her."
Pointers from the Drs.
Heller:
Carbohydrate-Addicted
Kids is an especially important book to us; it was
written with a deep and personal commitment to help
youngsters avoid the pain, self-blame, and challenges that
we, as kids, were forced to endure. It has been designed to
help kids break free of carbohydrate's powerful
blood-sugar-related effects on behavior, learning,
attention, mood, impulse control, and/or weight. An easy
test helps parents determine if their youngsters are
carbohydrate-addicted, personal stories and simple
explanations help parents understand the cause and
correction of their kid's addiction to junk food, snack
foods, and sweets. A Step-By-Step Plan and a Jump-Start Plan
along with lots of options offer parents (and kids) a wide
variety of choices for success. Vegetarian and low-fat
guidelines and recipes are included along with Quick Fix
Meals and advice for the vegetable-phobic youngster. |

With a special section on "Quick Fix Dishes and Snacks," you’ll find that this is the one low-carb cookbook you will rely on every day."
Reader Comments:
"Fabulous and Fun Cooking! After being on the Hellers Lifespan program now for over 5 months I anxiously awaited a cookbook with easy to follow and easy to cook recipes. Well, boy I found it. The meals are quick and tasty and not boring. These meals are easily incorporated into a balanced carbohydrate meal or just as a craving reducing meal. Since this is not a diet and a way of life for me I wanted variety in my plan and flavor in my plan and I got it. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a balanced carbohydrate plan with no cravings and lots of variety. Such a great job the Drs. Heller did on this book. Bravo."

Book Description from Amazon Books:
"An action plan for a better life, Healthy Selfishness helps readers recognize and understand patterns of self-denial; a self-assessment quiz answers the question, "Are you too good for your own good?"
Chapters look at the value of healthy selfishness in specific areas—friends, family, work, weight, money, and more—to help readers identify how to take charge of their lives.
The Hellers offer choices for making comfortable changes: Small steps, longer strides, and life-changing leaps.
Healthy Selfishness is ultimately about life in proper balance, which makes this a book with something to offer for everyone."
Reader Comments:
"A BALANCE IN MY LIFE AND A JOY IN MY HEART! I don't usually write reviews (too busy trying to get enough time to enjoy reading) but this time I had to say something. Healthy Selfishness is one of the most encouraging, most loving books I've ever read. There isn't a harsh or mean thing in it.
I know reviews allow all kinds of people to say all kinds of things with anonymity. So, instead of arguing, I'll simply say, this book helped me to find A BALANCE IN MY LIFE AND A JOY IN MY HEART I HAD ALMOST FORGOTTEN.
Here's an example of the kind of writing in Healthy Selfishness that has helped me remember how I deserve to be treated. I've taken the Heller's own words straight out of the book:
"To be Healthfully Selfish to is know your limits and to accept and respect them; to rest when you are tired, provide yourself with nourishing, appealing food when you are hungry, to go to the bathroom you feel the urge, to get emotional and physical nurturing without feeling that you must earn it and, in all things to accept (and even appreciate!) that you are not perfect.
"Healthy Selfishness brings with it a zest for living that is astounding, a joy that comes from truly experiencing - deep within yourself - your accomplishments, and a pride in your ability to determine how you will be treated by those around you - no matter how important they are in your life."
I've waited a long time to find a book that really, truly offered help and hope with a loving, giving hand."

Book Description from Amazon Books:
"In the ruins of a medieval monastery, the diary of a 12th-century monk has been uncovered . . . and the murders have already begun. It is rumored the monk's writings offer clues to the whereabouts of a scroll dating back to the time of Jesus—the creation of a hitherto unknown intimate who recorded the actual words of Christ.
Two people possess the combined skills to follow where the document leads: American cybersleuth Gil Pearson and Sabbie Karaim, former Israeli commando and biblical translator. But what awaits them on their strange odyssey across the globe and through two thousand years of history is both an indescribable treasure and an unrelenting terror. For all manner of zealots and devils are after the secrets they seek—to own the power to destroy the world we know."
Publishers Weekly, Editorial Review:
The Hellers, a husband-and-wife team known for their health titles (The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, etc.) make a thrilling fiction debut in this fast-paced, well-researched adventure, a foray into Da Vinci Code–style papal mystery. A satisfying, well-structured entry into the still-hot subgenre, the Hellers have a definite crowd-pleaser on their hands."
Reader Comments:
"From the moment I picked up this extraordinary book, I simply could not (repeat: could not) put it down. It is a gripping page-turner, filled with suspense and non-stop excitement, but more, it is involving, inspirational, funny, sexy, thrilling, and more!
The plot is never predictable. At the same time, it is always believable. The characters are engaging and delightful (There is a part of Sabbie in me and Gil reminded me of an old boyfriend I should never have let go).
This book has short, exciting chapters which I like a lot and I particularly loved that the characters were never two-dimensional; intelligent, real people caught up an heart-pounding adventure.
The story itself was new and fresh (not the same old rehash that many authors use). I must have sold five copies to my friends and family in the few days since I've finished the book.
It's a perfect read all the way through and never disappoints. The sexual tension was great - couldn't wait to see what was finally going to happen. I adored the final chapter - a powerful, positive ending."
