The 30-Minute Low-Carb Cookbook

“As someone who went on some of the more popular low- or no-carb diets in the past, it’s hard to find tasty things to eat without a good dose of carbs. This cookbook is a great way to find alternatives… . Recommended, even if you’re not on a low carb diet.”–Courtland C.“Ellgen suggests changing out one meal a day or focusing on meals that are particularly carb heavy. She doesn’t take away all your carbs. Quite the opposite. She explains what it is about certain carbs that offer nutrition–fiber in particular–and encourages her readers to make smarter decisions, to experiment, and to find a pattern of healthier eating that fits in with their lives and their goals.”–Jill N.“This is not just a bunch of recipes, wash - rinse - repeat. Author Pamela Ellgen gives a bit of her history, the various types of low carb diets (and what makes them unique), how this style of eating can effect your overall health, and how to set up a low carb kitchen–complete with hacks. It’s well written and very interesting.”–Linda G.
