The Simple Slow-Carb Cookbook

The Simple Slow-Carb Cookbook

Did you know, that if you ate butternut squash, you'd consume far more carbohydrates and empty sugar calories than if you ate berries?

If your diet tells you that fruit is off-limits, what about cucumbers, peppers, eggplant and zucchini (just like tomatoes and avocados, they are all fruits)?

When it comes to slow-carb eating and weight loss, all beans are NOT equal, so how do you choose which ones are best?

When you strive to east so well during the week, why would you want to eat junk food garbage on your cheat day? It is possible to have a super-tasty, fulfilling reward or cheat meal, without feeling like the "garbage" you just ate.

The Simple Slow-Carb Coookbook answers all those questions and many more that weren't addressed in the Four Hour Body by Tim Ferris (of Four-Hour Work Week fame), and provides valuable information about insulin, sugar and nutrition that is beneficial to anybody striving to maintain a low or slow-carb eating style.

Written by popular food-blogger Lynette Stanley-Maddocks, of Lex Culinaria, in response to The Four Hour Body, this book provides explanation of some of the nonsensical rules of the Four Hour Body diet so hard for many to follow.

The Simple Slow-Carb Cookbook does two things: provides straight-forward background information on different foods and their relative carbohydrate and nutrition value, as well as information on how your body uses those carbs to store or spend energy. It includes loads of tables describing the relative carb and protein counts of many common beans, vegetables and even fruits, to help you tailor your slow-carb eating style to suit your own tastebuds, nutritional needs and weightloss goal.

The Simple Slow-Carb Cookbook explains why rules such as, "all veggies are okay, all fruits are not" are not always true, and how you can include dairy products in your meals, without sacrificing your weight loss progress.

Most importantly, The Simple Slow-Carb Cookbook provides tons of great recipes using wholesome veggies, protein and beans (as well as some mouthwatering whole-food cheat day treats like Blackberry Pie, Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream, and the best Chocolate Chip Cookies ever.
