15 Minute Low-Carb Recipes: Instant Recipes for Dinners, Desserts, and More!

Manufacturer: Rodale Books

From Atkins to The Zone, low-carbohydrate diets have taken the country by storm. But despite their popularity, they have a downside. Many require that you give up virtually all carbohydrates-- not only favorites like bread and pasta, but healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Such low-carb diets are nutritionally unsound, alarmingly low in calories and nutrients, and dangerously high in heart-harming fat. But breakthrough research into how and why low-carb diets work convinced Bettina Newman, R.D., that limiting the intake of carbohydrates can lead to safe, healthy weight loss-- if it's done right. Teaming up with Prevention magazine, America's premier health magazine, Bettina developed this moderate, nutritionally sound low-carb approach to weight loss. Packed with delicious recipes, this book doesn't ask you to eliminate carbohydrates completely. Nor does it foolishly recommend feasting on pork rinds and butter, as some low-carb diets do. What it does is to offer up a simple, seven-step plan for shedding excess pounds the smart, healthy low-carb way-- along with 200 flavorful low-carb recipes for snacks, sandwiches, easy one-dish dinners, even desserts! In short, there's a low-carbohydrate eating plan that works in the real world. It allows you many of your favorite foods, like pasta, grains, and potatoes. It contains adequate calories, so you don't experience hunger pangs or miss out on important nutrients. And it isn't dangerously high in fat, so you won't increase your risk of developing heart disease. Nor will you miss out on taste. One look at the recipes-- Chocolate Hazelnut Flourless Cake, Whole Grain Pancakes with Berry Cream Syrup, Pesto Chicken Sandwich with Roasted Peppers-- will convince you of that. And you'll love the inspiring, real-life stories of people who lost weight the smart low-carb way and have kept it off for as long as 15 years! You'll also find: * Six weight-loss plans for every need-- choose the calorie and carb levels ...

Being vegetarian for nineteen years and working out intensely four to five days per week was supposed to yield results. However, the "bagel" of fat that Dean Dwyer clutched with both hands told a very different tale.At the ripe old age of 45, unemployed and facing a very uncertain future, Dwyer found himself at a rather disturbing crossroads, asking a rather counterintuitive question:"What if eating healthy is making me fat?"And with that one simple question, a paradigm shift like no other was unleashed. Suddenly, nothing was sacred ground. Everything was open for debate. Is cardio important? Hell, is it even necessary? Is diet and exercise secondary to the battle with our personal demons? Is it possible that most of us are over-CARB-onating ourselves with the crappy food we eat? Would we be healthier with NO grains in our diet whatsoever? Could we lose fat by eating more fat?In an honest and at times humorous portrayal of his own personal journey, Dwyer takes us on a coming-of-age tale about weight loss and it's intersection with truth. What he discovers leads to an evolution of 12 EPIC shifts that resulted in an incredible body, mind, and soul transformation.

Following the extraordinary success of Protein Power, The Protein Power Lifeplan reveals how this evolutionary-based, protein-rich diet can be used to treat major health problems, including high cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension,heart disease, and obesity. The Eades offer recipes, motivational advice, and a refined and expanded nutritional and lifestyle regimen, including a three-tiered approach to eating. These plans, the Hedonist (some health change with minimal effort), the Dilettante (the most benefit from the least effort), and the Purist (maximal benefit from maximal effort) help readers optimize their health by offering a framework of change they can accept and live by forever. Protein Power has been phenomenally successful and has sold more than 150,000 hardcover copies (Bantam, 1996) and more than 1.2 million paperbacks (Bantam, 1/98). Its been on the New York Times bestseller list for 31 weeks and counting. The Protein Power Lifeplan goes beyond the diet program in Protein Power and provides a lifeplan that thousands of readers have requested to promote weight loss, prevent disease, and encourage optimal health of mind and body. In order to help readers, The Protein Power LifePlan Carbohydrate Counter will be published simultaneously as a companion book to the program. Also available as a Time Warner AudioBook. The authors of Protein Power are back to advocate the "protein-rich, moderate-fat, carbohydrate-restricted diet" that opposes the high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet that every professional medical and dietetic organization (including those who have no diet books to sell) believes to be your best bet for avoiding heart disease, the number one killer. The authors insist, in the face of all this medical opposition, that "the whole idea that fat and cholesterol cause heart disease is just that: an idea." We're meant to be hunters, say the authors: bring on the meat. Let's go back to the Paleolithic diet (no mention of the brief life span of Paleolithic m...
