Reading her new book is certainly eye-opening. If I read it right, then she does NOT agree with Suzanne Somers and the food combining principles she advocates. And she does not seem to agree with Dr. Atkins and his ketosis theories either. It has been a difficult read, but from what I understand, Dr. Atkins got a little bit stricter in his latest book, too. Evidently, people were eating lots more food than they needed, as long as it was low or no carbs. Dr. Schwarbein is strict, but you know what, I'm sick of feeling unhealthy and fat, and I'm going to do my best to really follow her plan.
