Andrew DiMino

Andrew DiMino spent most of his life sickly, overweight, and wondering if he could ever lose the excess pounds. He started a new diet every week—usually based on a low-calorie, low-fat diet—with no lasting results. All he had ever heard about were high carbohydrate, calorie counting diets that the medical profession was so fond of. But, they never worked and he usually gained more weight.

In 1998 he learned he was a type-2 diabetic and instead of eating the foods his doctor told him to eat, he read Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution. It changed his life. He lost 50 pounds in 4 months, controlled his diabetes and stopped worrying about calories, grams of fat, or major exercise programs that just made him hungrier. He started CarbSmart.com and sold thousands of Low-Carb and Gluten-Free products until 2012 when CarbSmart dropped all the foods and evolved into an online magazine. Now CarbSmart’s mission is to help those who want to change their life with a Low-Carb lifestyle. They accomplish it by publishing the best recipes that Dana Carpender and the CarbSmart team can devise.
