Dana Carpender 1,781

Every taste is an acquired taste. If you’ve just recently gone low-carb, say as a New Year’s resolution, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer difference from your old diet. I encourage you to do so rather than using low-carb breads and such to make your low-carb diet resemble your old diet. Those can be useful.

The Latest From CarbSmart

Excess Protein Turns Into Carbohydrates In The Body

Excess protein is transformed into glucose in the liver in a process called gluconeogenesis. The glucose turns into glycogen by the liver. Article 9 of the Science of Low-Carb & Keto Diets series. The CHO portion of the protein is transformed into glucose in the liver in a process called gluconeogenesis (gluco-NEO-genesis; gluco=sugar; neo=new; genesis=creation). The glucose is then available to be transformed into glycogen by the liver, just like the glucose from "regular" carbohydrates.

Low Carb Mousse Recipes from Down Under

Tony Blakemore 1,339

Dr. Beth Gruber 1,942

Protein Digestion and Protein Absorption. Article 8 of the Science of Low-Carb & Keto Diets series. The protein parts of every cell in the body are being destroyed continually.

Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did! Low Carb Cookbook Review

Di Bauer 1,104

I have a lot of cookbooks - hundreds. Most of them are of little use to me anymore because I am a low carber, so I have begun collecting low carbohydrate cookbooks. I now have almost two dozen, and am always on the lookout for more. But like the selections in any other culinary genre, some low carbohydrate cookbooks are better than others. Nancy Moshier's Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did! Quick and Easy Low Carb Cookbook is one of the best.
