  The Four Hour Slow Carb Diet

  S. Smith The Slow Carb Diet is based on five rules: avoid white carbohydrates, eat the same few meals over and over again, don't drink calories, don't eat fruit, and take one day off per week to eat anything you want. Under this plan, rice, potatoes, sugar and white flour are out, as are juices, milk and non-diet soft drinks. Ferris does allow one or two glasses of red wine nightly, and the plan allows for a "cheat" day once a week when you can eat anything you want, including otherwise banned foods. On noncheat days, the mainstays of the diet are meats, fish, eggs, legumes and vegetables. **The Slow Carb Diet was presented in Timothy Ferris book, "The 4-Hour Body."

  7 Day Carb Cycle - Diet for Non-Bodybuilders

  S. Smith Low carb is defined as a diet that contains 30% or less of carbohydrates. If you are trying to lose weight, eating a low carb diet will make a calorie restriction much more achievable because you will have more stable blood sugar levels and reduced hunger. The main drawback of eating low carb on a permanent basis is fatigue, brain fog, and the inevitable carb cravings. The solution to this is a carb cycling method.

  Atkins Diet Recipes

  S. Smith The Atkins diet consists of a four-phase eating plan. Induction - This is the first phase of the Atkins diet. It is also considered the most restrictive phase. In other words, phase one allows you to eat very little to no carbohydrates. You are limited to only 20 grams per day. The carbs you are allowed to eat consist of salad and other non-starchy vegetables. Ongoing Weight Loss - Phase two allows you to add some carbohydrates to your diet. In this phase, carbs are increased to 25 grams per day. Each week, you can increase the number of carbs you eat by five grams. So, the second week of phase two, you can have 30 grams of carbs. The third week you can consume 35 grams of carbs and so on. You continue on the course of slowly increasing carbohydrates until your body stops losing weight. When that occurs, you subtract five grams of carbohydrates from your daily intake. This level will allow you to maintain your weight. Pre-Maintenance - In this phase, you transition from weight loss to weight maintenance.

  Treasure (Seed Savers)

  S. Smith Two kids, two bikes, and an idea they can change their world.
  
  It’s 2077. There’s no apocalypse, but some things are different. Things like the weather, the internet, and food. In twelve-year-old Clare’s world, blueberry is just a flavor and apples are found only in fairy tales.
  
  Then one day Clare meets an old woman who teaches her about seeds and real food. The woman (Ana) tempts Clare with the notion that food exists other than the square, processed, packaged food she has always known. Under Ana’s tutelage, Clare and her friends learn about seeds and gardening despite suspicions that such actions are illegal.
  
  When the authorities discover the children’s forbidden tomato plant and arrest their mother, Clare and her brother flee. Clare has heard of a place called "The Garden State," and with their bikes, a little money, and backpacks, the children begin a lonely cross-country journey that tests them both physically and spiritually. Will they succeed in their quest to find a place of food freedom?  And can they, only children, help change the world?
  
  Treasure is a gentle dystopian, frightening only is the possibility that we may not be far from the future it paints.

  Heirloom (Seed Savers)

  S. Smith Jason is ticked that the government put him in foster care and locked up his parents.
  
  Arturo’s inconsistent English and penchant for mysteriously showing up would be suspicious if he wasn’t so darn charming.
  
  Clare and Dante just want to garden.
  
  Lily, well Lily gets braver by the minute.
  
  It’s late in the twenty-first century and large corporations have merged with U.S. government agencies to control the nation’s food supply. Not only is gardening and seed ownership illegal, but fresh food is unheard of by the masses who are fed the processed food groups of Vitees, Proteins, Carbos, Snacks, and Sweeties.
  
  Thirteen-year-old Clare and her brother Dante have escaped to Canada where the old ways still exist. It is there that they make friends with the roguish Jason and learn the political history of their own country’s decline of freedoms.
  
  Meanwhile, Lily, the friend who was left behind, begins her own journey to find the father she never met—a former leader in the ill-fated Seed Savers rebellion of fifteen years earlier. From Florida to the Smoky Mountains, Lily follows the signs in search of her father and is helped along the way by the quirky characters she meets. Not to mention the attractive Arturo who shows up midway to “protect” her.
  
  Heirloom seamlessly weaves the gentle agrarian story of Clare and Dante together with the swiftly-paced adventure of Lily and Arturo. Themes of family, empowerment, and politics meet in this futuristic tale nostalgic for the past. Heirloom is a hopeful dystopia in today’s current sea of post-apocalyptic literature.
