Jennifer Koslo, PhD, RD AUTHOR OF DIABETIC COOKBOOK FOR TWO A s a Registered Dietitian, I know that you can add years to your life by making a habit of eating well and exercising regularly.

But there is no one-size-fits-all diet that works for everyone. The majority of people struggling with weight issues are in need of guidance to help them make sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes amid the mixed messages and confusing advice constantly circulated in the media. For me, helping people achieve a healthy weight and enjoy a higher quality of life is a top priority. How is it possible to achieve a healthy weight? Recent research points to diets that include nonstarchy vegetables, fruits, lean animal proteins, plant proteins, healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, avocados), and foods low in refined carbohydrates at each meal. And indeed many people are finding great initial success with low-carb diets when they strike the right healthy balance of these components. But what happens after the weight loss stalls or boredom sets in? A good number of folks falter, longing for their favorite higher-carb foods and treats.

Eliminating sugars and grains can be the biggest roadblock for maintaining a low-carb diet that lasts for the long term. Eating styles that are too restrictive can never be successful in the final analysis because they set the body up for cravings or, even worse, nutritional deficiencies. In order to make changes that are sustainable, there has to be moderation, variety, and balance. The low-carb recipes offered in this book are designed to help you uncover the root cause of your cravings and satisfy them with flavorful recipes that tackle all of your sweet, salty, fatty, greasy, and chocolaty desires while helping you keep your total carb count in check. Your favorite high-carb recipes are given a makeover by replacing high-carb grains and flours with lower-carb healthy alternatives like almond and coconut flour. If you have been craving pasta, youll be pleasantly surprised and deeply pleased by how clever cuts of vegetables are used to give you the same type of textures and flavors without the carbs.

No matter what your preferences or dietary restrictions are, youll find many recipes in this book to gratify you while allowing you to stay on track during your most vulnerable dieting moments. The best way to satisfy a craving is to give in a little but to do so in moderation and to do it by eating good-tasting food made with nutritious ingredients. If you are committed to a low-carb lifestyle, then this book is for you.

P ancakes, mashed potatoes, nachos, grilled cheese, pizza, cupcakes, chicken potpie classic, comforting, and loaded with carbs! Isnt this book supposed to help you stick to your low-carb diet? Absolutely. If cheating on your diet is your dirty little secret, consider this book a big clean reward. All these favorite foods, and more, can still be yours and help satisfy those nagging cravingsbut in a low-carb kind of way.

All it takes is a few adjustments to key ingredients and cooking methods. If youve been following a low-carb diet for a while now, you know exactly what saps your will to continue. Its those cravings, and feelings of deprivation, that arise after a while, once the monotony of your regular meals sets in. Acting on them can bring your diet crashing down around you. Stay strong and read on. This cookbook does not attempt to offer recipes for low-carb living, day in and day outsurely you already have one or more cookbooks for your daily needs.

Instead, this book will be your salvation for the weak moments, when the cravings hit. Dont believe it? Try any of these recipes: > Good morning! BISCUITS AND GRAVY () are back on the menu, thanks to coconut flour. > Ready for a snack?
