Why I am so excited about a book

As 2010 comes to an end soon, I am so happy that I have learned so much about myself and how much information I have discovered from blogs, books and videos all about lifestyle changes and taking control of my health has kept me motivated to continue on into the new year.
I am so excited, I made a quick You Tube video explaining how excited I am about the new book coming out and my plans for 2011 and my ultimate reward as I will reach my ideal goal weight in 2011. Weight Loss is just one of many benefits to living the low carb lifestyle.

Why We Get Fat and What to Do About it
The pre-publication sales have already reached over 6,000 in books on Amazon's website, and that numbers are increasing everyday as we get closer to the release date. I am almost sure that this book will reach in mega amounts sold and will be on The New York Times Best Seller List as TOP ONE BEST SELLER! This is Gary Taubes's time to shine, this book will be a good read for the average person who, like me, was amazed at how making a lifestyle change opened my eyes to a whole new world that still excites me to this day and how my whole family has been able to contol that carb monster.

Here is Amazon's editorial review:
An eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes us fat, from acclaimed science writer Gary Taubes.
In his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes argued that our diet’s overemphasis on certain kinds of carbohydrates—not fats and not simply excess calories—has led directly to the obesity epidemic we face today. The result of thorough research, keen insight, and unassailable common sense, Good Calories, Bad Calories immediately stirred controversy and acclaim among academics, journalists, and writers alike. Michael Pollan heralded it as “a vitally important book, destined to change the way we think about food.”
Building upon this critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, Taubes now revisits the urgent question of what’s making us fat—and how we can change—in this exciting new book. Persuasive, straightforward, and practical, Why We Get Fat makes Taubes’s crucial argument newly accessible to a wider audience.
Taubes reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century, none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat, and the good science that has been ignored, especially regarding insulin’s regulation of our fat tissue. He also answers the most persistent questions: Why are some people thin and others fat? What roles do exercise and genetics play in our weight? What foods should we eat, and what foods should we avoid?
Packed with essential information and concluding with an easy-to-follow diet, Why We Get Fat is an invaluable key in our understanding of an international epidemic and a guide to what each of us can do about it.
