Publisher's Synopsis
In the world of diets, the Atkins diet is still king. Reformed from its early no-carb version, today's Atkins relies on cutting down on carbohydrates in your diet and replacing them with protein. Whether or not you're a strict Atkins follower, numerous other diets today-The Zone, Protein Power, Somersize, Glucose Revolution, Weight Watchers, and even some diabetic diets-rely on cutting carbohydrates. Cooks today are looking for low-carb alternatives that aren't bland diet book recipes. As many readers point out, The Atkins Diet and The Zone cookbooks read like they were written by scientists-not cooks! Enter cookbook authors Lucy Beale and Sandy Couvillon with more than 330 taste-tempting recipes for low-carb alternatives. With everything from breakfast (egg dishes, of course) to late-night snacks, Beale and Couvillon offer hundreds of delicious recipes for the die-hard dieter that appeal to the family and are easy to make. This cookbook even offers fantastic salads, bread and pasta recipes, grains, potatoes, rice, desserts, fruit options-and even an entire chocolate chapter!
