More About This Book

Overview

Recent news on the health and diets of the American public has pointed to the over-consumption of carbohydrates as a major contributing factor in the epidemic rise of obesity in our nation. Obesity among adults and even children is now considered to be the principal factor in the development of diabetes, heart disease, increased cholesterol, and high blood pressure in the general population. So, how do we lose weight the low-carb way? And how do we keep it off? This book details Linda Gassenheimer's unique Three-Stage Plan, showing you the simple and delicious meals you can eat and enjoy each day, but she also tells you how to eat for the rest of your life. Linda's approach leaves nothing to guesswork -- she spells it all out. And, you can prepare these meals in minutes! This is not a deprivation diet. In fact, the very word 'diet' seems inappropriate. This is a fabulous food plan that will satisfy your desire to eat a healthy diet while eating better than you've probably ever eaten in your life.

The Three-Stage Plan includes: I-Quick Start, II-Which Carbs, and III-Right Carbs. Each of these Stages includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a grand total of 135 recipes and 45 meals. Other sections include: Super Speed Suppers -- meals that can be prepared in about 10-15 minutes; and Weekends and Entertaining -- 30-45 minute meals that are perfect for leisure time and special occasions. Besides enjoying the meals, improving your health, and losing undesirable weight, you will also marvel at the simplicity and speed of the preparation. Most importantly, this book will help you make the transition to a long-term balanced eating lifestyle. It is not a gimmicky, fad diet. Gassenheimer consulted with and has been endorsed by esteemed cardiologists and endocrinologists. She includes lean proteins (and fiber), so the plan is also low in fat, and good carbs are eventually re-introduced without weight gain. As a result, More Low-Carb Meals in Minutes is more balanced than other low-carb and low-fat diet books.

A sequel to the best-selling low-carb cookbook offers recipes geared to long-term weight loss that are also low in saturated fat and can provide for a range of meal needs, in a guide that further explains how to reintroduce carbohydrates without regaining weight.
