News! News! News!

Exciting news! As of today, I am a featured staff writer for CarbSmart, the biggest, best, and oldest low carb etailer. Andrew DiMino, the founder and owner, and I have been pals for a decade now, and I'm jazzed about this collaboration, which will let me reach a new audience. I'll be writing a couple of new articles a month, and also reprinting past articles on the Carb Smart site.

Cool stuff!

Carb Smart and 2 questions

Hi Dana. Congratulations to CS and you this sounds like a great match. Any time there's more to read from you I'm happy!

I had two questions for you that I think got lost in the blog last week or the week before. If you don't have time to answer, please don't worry about it. If you do, many thanks!

I have two unrelated questions for you. First, what would you order at a Chinese restaurant? My family loves to go out for Chinese but so far everything I've tried to order seems to make me puffy and moody the next day (never mind the extra 3 or 4 lbs.). Of course I skip the rice, and sweet sauces, but I think there is corn starch in most everything else. Any ideas?

Also, I think I read in your first book (How I Gave up my Low-Fat Diet and Lost 40 Pounds) about leg cramps at night and how they are related when low carbing to a deficiency in some mineral - I thought it was potassium, but then I also thought you recommended kelp tablets to help and those give you iodine. Anyway, when I went back to the book to make sure, I couldn't tell exactly -- and the edition I have was published in 2003 so I thought you might have some new ideas to share also. Any thoughts would be much-appreciated. Thanks! Sally
