Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever walked past a supermarket checkout and noticed the magazines? On so many of the covers, the predominant theme is diet. Diet, diet, diet. Fascinatingly, if you look at the weekly publications, they often have something advertised such as "THE Fat Burning Diet! Never count calories again!" All well and good, except that the very next week, the exact same magazine will be advertising "THE BEST DIET EVER! The Not-Diet-Diet! Scientifically Proved!" Which begs the question-if the first diet is so revolutionary, why do they need to publish a new diet the very next week? Or the next. Or the next. The bottom line is, these diets, whether on magazine covers or on TV advertisements, just don't work. People might lose briefly on them by avoiding certain foods and depriving themselves of this or that, but not only are these diets painfully slow, frequently their "food plans" taste like cardboard. As a result, people don't stick to the diets very long and/or quickly have rebound weight gain when they give up and splurge on something that actually tastes like delicious, real food, because it actually is delicious and real. Sous Vide Sous-vide (French for "under vacuum")[1] is a method of cooking in which food is vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch or a glass jar and then placed in a water bath or steam environment for longer than normal cooking times (usually 1 to 7 hours, up to 48 or more in some cases) at an accurately regulated temperature. The temperature is much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 55 to 60 °C (131 to 140 °F) for meat, higher for vegetables. The intent is to cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and to retain moisture. Why Low Carb? So, you may rightly be asking, how is this particular diet different from any of those diets? Start with the fact that eating low carb is an entire way of life. It's not a bandwagon you hop on and off of erratically. Once you learn the basics, it's easy to follow, doesn't involve counting calories, and isn't crazy restrictive so you go, well, crazy. Learning the low carb lifestyle will reboot your metabolism so it becomes a fat-burning machine. You'll reteach your body how to efficiently burn calories. And the nutritious, whole, unprocessed low carb foods you'll be putting in your body are so satiating that you'll need to eat less of them to feel satisfied. More fat burning, plus less overall desire to overeat, equals the diet solution you've been dreaming of! The low carb diet emphasizes fats that are good for your heart, vegetables dense with micronutrients, and the best quality (and therefore best-tasting) meats. One of the problems with diets that emphasize low-fat this or light that is that the menus are heavy on processed carbs. This has the effect of leaving a dieter constantly hungry, so they naturally overeat. Get rid of the empty, tasteless calories involved in sugar-dense, carb-heavy, ultra-processed grains, and you'll see an immediate difference. You'll be hungry less. Your desire for sugar and carbs will lessen. You'll even find that you focus better, have more energy, and rest better at night. This lifestyle will change everything, from your waistline to your ability to live your life to its fullest.
