Default Low Carb Novel

I was in the book store and saw a book that read Low Carb under it's title (I think the title was "Feeding Harry).

Anyway the plot is something like this (I am doing it form memory).

It talks about a wife who learns to love cooking and how family life centers around dinner. After a few years of marrige her husband is overweight and gets told he has serious health issues. In an attempt to save her husbands life, she learns to cook for his new diet (low carb). With the food form his wife and the support of a low carbsupport group he does lose the weight. She then has to contend with jelousy of the women he meets through his support group as well as the fact women now see her trim husband as more sexy.

I didn't get it, but thought others might be interested. I know many on this bored talk about how losing weight effects the dinamics of thier relationships.

Dang nab it! I have some notes for a low carb novel, but haven't even tried to start writing it yet.

No chance to be first now, I guess. But then my story line is much more a wilderness/mountaineering thriller, and low carb is just an ancillary fact of life for some of the characters.
