The book is packed with resources to help these low-carb dieters overcome setbacks and plateaus and successfully shift to the maintenance phase of the diet: tips on keeping a dieting journal, transition-to-maintenance menu plans, maintenance menu plans, and a question-and-answer section that addresses the real-world challenges low-carb dieters face.
