"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look
at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."
— Sirius Black
With our August 8th issue, we began a new series by
Laura Poole Ruffner. (If the name seems eerily close to my own, it's because Laura is my
daughter-in-law.) Laura is 29 years old and holds a B.A. in Communications from Newberry College. She's also a dedicated low carber (since September 2000) and is an avid Harry Potter fan.
Laura began working on ways to
keep carbs, temptation, and sabotage at bay some time ago. And as she did so, it was quite natural
for her to begin referring to her strategies as her "Defenses against the Dark Arts" which all Potter
fans will relate to. With each issue, "Professor" Laura shares more of her good sense strategies
and have a little magical fun with it at the same time. And so it continues... (insert sound
of ancient
book opening, the pages crackling...)

In this chapter we will look at another aspect of Defense Against the Dark Arts. We will look
at Potions and their impact on helping in your continued combat against "Dark Carbs."
Potion making can be a complicated study, but we'll start slow and make this easy.
To be a proficient Potions Master you must arm yourself with the basic ingredients. With
the proper elements and tools, you can always be prepared for any situation. For many of
us witches and wizards, defending off a sweet tooth can be particularly troublesome.
Let's look at this Potion's ingredients and then prepare the Potion below...
