Secrets of Good-Carb, Low-Carb Living (Avery, 2004) by Sandra Woodruff, M.S., R.D., LD/N
Lately, low-carb dies have been hotter than ever. But until recently, little scientific research has been available regarding their effectiveness and potential health consequences. Now, studies are proving that low-carb diets do work, and contrary to popular belief, they don't pose health risks – if they are done right. The important thing is to know the difference between "good carbs" and "bad carbs."
Nationally recognized nutritionist Sandra Woodruff demystifies this process in her new book. She explains how anyone can tailor a low-carb plan to their individual needs to achieve long-term weight loss. Some of the recipes included are Mediterranean Meatballs; Raspberry Pork Medallions; Penne With Italian Sausage and Spring Vegetables; Bistro Chicken Salad; Cilantro Shrimp Salad; Zucchini Pomodoro; and Frozen Banana Dream Pie.
