Low carbing doesn't help everything... especially visceral fat, the fat around your organs that is often associated with diabetes and heart disease. Read Laura's post on a medical study and visceral fat.
Karen Barnaby: The Low-Carb Gourmet: 250 Delicious and Satisfying Recipes
I have never enjoyed a low carb cookbook more than The Low-Carb Gourmet by Karen Barnaby. It makes low carbing sensuous and luxurious with a serious "how to" wrapping. Not only do you get to eat the box of chocolates, you learn how to recreate the experience again and again.
Gavin De Becker: Protecting the Gift : Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane)

Ruth Glick: Fabulous Lo-Carb Cuisine
I really like this cookbook. I love the recipe for a low-carb crust. She uses the spice thyme quite a lot, but I just substitute that for Old Bay Seasoning or something else.

Thanks for linking to me, Katherine! (Although Modblog has been doing a lot of upgrading, so if at first you don't succeed, try again in a day or so!)
I don't know that low-carbing does zero for visceral fat. Visceral fat is linked to insulin resistance, so it might help a bit - in any case, low-carbing wasn't tested in any of the studies I've read about visceral fat. But I *have* read enough to convince me that no diet *alone* will do it, especially beyond middle age, which is when the visceral fat seems to commence to set in. :-(

I have a question: Recently, researchers have found a way to remove visceral fat by surgery. Do you (or any body) know where can I find a medical center in california that does this procedure?
