Introduction
Are you tired of diet books that are long on rules about what you can and can't eat, but short on recipes you can use? A surprising number of mainstream diets simply don't help you understand what meals are available to you. They tell you all the foods you can't eat. They might even list a lot of ingredients you can use. But when it comes to letting you know how to put them together, they simply don't provide. That can leave you feeling lost, confused and hungry.
The right diet cookbook will contain not just the information you need to choose healthy, nutritious foods, but also complete meals to help you commit to your diet day after day. Whether you're choosing a low-carbohydrate diet, one that restricts fat, or a simple and sensible plan dedicated to comforting and familiar foods, you'll be able to get the recipes you need.
This book is designed to provide everything you require to stay on your diet and enjoy the process. It focuses on ensuring that you have the recipes you require to live a healthy lifestyle without falling into the pitfalls of processed food and a conventional diet. With access to the right meals, sticking to your diet plan is a whole lot easier!
You'll find that the information contained in this volume is divided into two distinct parts. The first one is designed specifically to provide meals compatible with a low-carbohydrate diet. These popular plans help reduce the risk of many different health issues but decreasing your reliance on processed carbohydrates and excess sugar. The second part of this book is focused on detoxifying your body. No matter how well you eat now, there's probably a point at which you consumed a variety of toxins. These can build up in your system unless you use the right techniques to get rid of them.
Whether you're choosing a low-carb diet or one that simply focuses on moderation and choosing the right ingredients, you'll develop a better understanding of how to build your meals. You'll also find ways to make good, wholesome food without relying on unhealthy convenience products like boxed mixes and sauces. Since they're full of refined sugars, modified starches and other ingredients that aren't right for any healthy diet, it's important to get away from them.
Instead, you'll be using whole foods and natural products that don't contain any of these chemical substances. While a few if the sweeter recipes do call for a small amount of sugar substitute, the focus is still on the flavor of fresh fruit and real ingredients. It might take a little while to get used to this kind of cooking, but once you do, you'll wonder how you ever used all the old products that used to fill your shopping cart.
If you're a low-carb dieter, you'll love the wide range of healthy and appealing meals that this book makes available to you. You can enjoy healthy, naturally-sweetened cereals, omelets and even low-carb French toast for breakfast, Greek salads and pumpkin pates for lunch, and delicious dinner kabobs. You want something sweet, you can try homemade spritzers, slushes and smoothies, or sponge cake and chocolate sorbet. You'll also love low-carb popcorn, granola balls and low-carb nachos as a snack. There are even recipes available to help you bring a safe and healthy dish to your family or company picnic.
The recipes in the second part of this book aren't necessarily low-carb, though some of them can be used as part of a healthy lower-carbohydrate diet. Instead, this section of the cookbook is designed to help you get rid of unnecessary and damaging toxins that could be harming your body. If you experience fatigue, unexplained headaches and similar problems, the culprit might be built up toxic substances that come from processed food and your environment.
Detox diets focus heavily on fresh fruits and vegetables, so even if you're not currently experiencing symptoms related to toxins, it might be worth trying these recipes out. They provide plenty of helpful antioxidants, along with lots of fiber and health-boosting hydration. Detoxification recipes can be relatively restrictive, so it's best to use them only for a short time. If you feel as though you're suffering from toxin buildup, simply use the recipes in the second part of this book periodically to refresh your body and give your systems a break.
That doesn't mean you won't find plenty of foods to enjoy in this section, however. In fact, there's no reason you can't mix detox recipes in with your ordinary meals to boost your nutrient intake and help you enjoy better digestion. With delicious breakfasts such as herbed omelets, date porridge and buckwheat pancakes, you might want to make these recipes even on mornings when you're not undergoing a detox.
You can also try great soups and salads like detox minestrone and gazpacho, or roasted root vegetables in a healthy glaze. Main dishes like black bean burgers and braised shrimp will tickle your taste buds, while cleansing smoothies and green juices will keep you hydrated. For a snack, why not try kale chips or homemade energy bars? If you're after something sweet, chocolate pudding or a homemade pumpkin pie might hit the spot. Whether you're concerned about toxins or just looking for healthier meals, these recipes are here to help you feel great and enjoy eating.
No one should have to fend for him or herself when it comes to eating more healthily. This recipe book won't leave you out in the cold. It's packed full of low-carbohydrate and detox-friendly recipes designed to keep you enjoying yourself at the table. There's something for just about everyone, even family members who aren't yet ready to devote themselves to health. If you've been interested in losing weight and feeling better, but you haven't been sure what to make for dinner, this cookbook has all the answers you require.
Section 1: Low Carb Diet
Low calorie diet is a general phrase that can have different meanings. Anyone can eat smaller portions of the same foods they are already consuming, but this doesn't adequately justify a low calorie diet. What you eat makes a huge difference in getting the most out of any type of diet. Advertising trends can misrepresent the true meaning of a low calorie diet, while staying within certain truthful perimeters. This book is designed to bring focus on true low calorie diets, that introduce you to a new way of life. Being stronger, healthier and having more energy, is the goal of a successful low calorie diet.
There will be misconceptions addressed, as you read through the chapters. Facts about preservatives, sugar, grains and drinks, will awaken your thoughts about what you are feeding yourself, and your family. The truth is, a low calorie diet is not just for losing weight, but learning how all foods have a direct effect on your body. Just as you know that cigarettes and large amounts of alcohol are harmful, habits of eating certain foods can weaken you immune system, slow down metabolism, and cause fatty tissue to form in your arteries and veins.
You will also find delicious recipes that are just right for stepping into your new life. If you wish to shed a few pounds,
