About this title

Synopsis:

Millions of people with weight problems have discovered that all roads to successful weight loss do not begin with the low-fat diet. For most overweight people, in fact, a high-protein, low-carbohydrate plan is the preferred regimen to correct a metabolic imbalance, the source of the problem. While this eating plan runs counter to all the proscriptions of government nutritionists, it has proven to be not only a safe but also highly effective method of weight reduction and the basis for a lifetime of good health. Because turning to low-carb eating is like learning a new kitchen language, McCullough begins the book with an invaluable checklist of pantry essentials as well as creative substitutes for foods you may be missing (like mashed potatoes), and tradeoffs for those times when you do crave a carbo indulgence. The heart of the book, though, is the dozens of wonderful recipes for every course, from appetizers like a Mexican Shrimp Cocktail to an easy and extraordinary Cream of Mushroom Soup, from a Middle Eastern Lamb Salad to Nut-Crusted Swordfish, from vegetable dishes like Roasted Potato Skins and Zucchini "Pasta" to desserts like Berries with Trembling Cream and a made-in-moments Chocolate Mousse.

Review:

“The Low-Carb Cookbook is more than just a collection of recipes, it’s a complete primer on how to modify your kitchen, alter your cooking methods, and change your life to accommodate your new dietary regiment.... full of helpful ideas and suggestions for navigating the minefield of carbohydrates.”
Michael and Mary Dan Eades, authors of Protein Power.
