Re: the book Protein Power: I bought that book a few years ago. Since then I’ve become an excellent cook, eat three large meals per day…and have lost 110 lbs.

HIGHLY recommended.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Judith Sears writes: “I need recipes – not persuasion regarding the high protein/low carb eating plans. Any cookbooks you’d recommend that are high protein/low carb – or, better yet, websites that feature such recipes? Maybe your other readers know some books or sites they’d recommend…”
