Curb the Carb: the Safer Way To Diet

Eating steak and eggs for breakfast and skipping the grapefruit may be the hot new way to lose weight, but Amanda Cross points out that it's hard to stick to this and keep the weight off long-term-not to mention unhealthy. In her new ground-breaking diet, Cross offers advice on using some of the same ideas that make the high-protein diets successful, but modifying them to work in the real world.
