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)
Every parent should read this book.
Robert C. Atkins: Dr. Atkins' Three-Book Package: New Diet Revolution; New Diet Cookbook; New Carb Gram Counter
Dr. Atkins started it all. Everyone should read this before they go on the diet.
Fred Pescatore: Feed Your Kids Well : How to Help Your Child Lose Weight and Get Healthy
This is where I learned to use olive oil all the time. Wonderful tips on dealing with kids.
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.

I'm sorry to hear about your dad, Katherine. As for falling off the wagon, I know where you're coming from. Sticking to the diet is very much like being a recovered alcoholic, except that, unlike alcohol, you can't avoid food--it's always there to be abused, especially during times of stress. Hang in there!

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad!
The way I see it, low-carb is for life - it's "the way I eat". I don't think of it as "blowing it" if I eat some high-carb things occasionally, I just continue on eating low-carb. (And let how bad I feel be a big reminder of why I eat this way!)
It's a heads-up for me, though. A good friend of mine is going to have a bone marrow transplant soon and I'm going to be helping out for a week or so in late June, so I'll be spending a lot of time in the hospital. I have a feeling there won't be a lot of low-carb options there! I need to be prepared!

My question...when you "fall off the wagon" is it neccessary to go back to the induction part of the Atkins. I think sometimes I am too stict on myself and when I have a high carb day or more I make myself go back to the induction. Any helpful thoughts?
