Eat Yourself Thin Like I Did! Low Carb Cookbook Review

Di Bauer 1,173

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.

Protein and Amino Acids

Dr. Beth Gruber 1,463

Today we are starting our discussion of protein. Article 7 of the Science of Low-Carb & Keto Diets series. We will be looking at such subjects as what is protein, why protein is necessary, what the functions of protein are in our bodies, where we get protein, what happens if we don't have enough or the right kinds of protein, and how and where in the system is protein digested.

How Much Sugar Do We Eat? Sugar By Any Other Name Would Be As Sweet

Dr. Beth Gruber 1,511

There is another small subject concerning carbohydrates that needs to be addressed before we move on to discussing protein. Article 6 of the Science of Low-Carb & Keto Diets series. What about all the forms of actual sugar? Are they different? Is it safer/better to eat certain ones? Well-meaning friends and relatives often say, "But, this is made with a 'special' sugar that has vitamins and minerals! It is good for you." Do you know what to tell them? No? Well, then read on.
