- In our opinion, one of the most significant diet books of 2011 is Gary Taubes’s Why We Get Fat: And What to Do about It.
- Joel Fuhrman: Eat to Live Diet
The Handbook’s companion webpage is: Low Carb Diet Handbook. This Handbook is specifically prepared for use with Gary Taubes’s Why We Get Fat and other low carb diet variations. In addition, we’ve also published a companion food database for the New Atkins for a New You diet.
In Taubes’s earlier book: Good Calories, Bad Calories, he argues that the best diet is one loaded with protein and fat and very low in carbohydrate. Plant foods allowed in these successful reducing diets are those low in percentage of carb weight relative to food weight. Our Gary Taubes – Low Carb Diet Handbook and nutrient webpage are the essential companions to these most important treatises on low carb diet.
Joel Fuhrman’s Eat to Live is one of the best-selling diet books. We provide an easy to use, searchable and sortable food database tailored specifically to Fuhrman’s diet.

Make your own optimal food choices using objective data rather than subjective estimates.

Washington Post: A big Harvard project that for the first time details how much weight individual foods make people put on or keep off. The findings add to the growing body of evidence that getting heavier is not just a matter of “calories in, calories out.”
Among all the foods studied, potatoes stood out. Every additional serving of potatoes people added to their regular diet each day made them gain about a pound over four years. It was no surprise that french fries and potato chips are especially fattening. But the study found that even mashed, baked or boiled potatoes were unexpectedly plumping, perhaps because of their effect on the hormone insulin.
Check out our online potatoes vs. nuts database specifically prepared for use with the Washington Post article about the Harvard School of Public Health study.
