There is "The Ideal Diet for Human Health" by Jan McBride, MD. Published in 2000. Dr. McBride was a general practitioner who developed an understanding and appreciation for low carbohydrate diets in her experience with patients and through research.

She provides a scientific analysis of the metabolic effects of carbohydrates and recommends a maximum of 90 grams of carbs a day. Those carbs that you eat can be any ... including sugar. Her website is very informative as are her book and newsletter.

Here is some information from her web site, http://www.theidealdiet.com

"The IDEAL Diet is not just a low carb diet plan - there are many of these that work very well for various individuals. But the IDEAL DIET is a description of a low carb diet that is in complete harmony with the actual metabolic processes of the human body.

You may already be on a low carb diet that is ideal for you, and can benefit from learning the scientific basis for why this diet works. Or you may still be considering the change to low carb dieting, and may find the specific instructions, charts and foods lists very useful for learning how to obtain the correct carbohydrate, protein and fat ratios for a long-term healthy diet.

With the IDEAL DIET you eat regular food that you buy at the grocery store. And you don't have to give up all fruits, breads, pastas, or even desserts!

Natural foods like fresh meats, fruits and vegetables are definitely the healthiest, but the IDEAL DIET also shows you how to incorporate into your diet the convenient packaged food items, restaurant foods and even fast foods.

There are no complicated formulas for your daily food intake, but there is a complete guide that will take you through a step-by-step process to help you relearn how to choose your foods. A Personal Meal Diary makes it easy for you to monitor your daily intake, to know when you are eating correctly, and when you can have that special treat."
