Produktbeschreibung

"Low-carb" doesn't have to mean "no-fun!" Low-carb diets are a hugely popular way to lose weight and stay healthy. But, contrary to what you may have heard, eating low-carb doesn't have to mean losing all your favorite foods and treats! In Low-Carb Diet For Dummies, you'll find an easy-to-follow guide to minimizing carbs while keeping the flavor by evaluating the quality of the carbs you do eat. You will learn to control--but not entirely eliminate (unless you want to)--the intake of refined sugars and flour by identifying and choosing whole, unprocessed food instead. You'll get fun and creative recipes that taste amazing, reduce the number on the scale, and improve your health. You'll also get: * Great advice on incorporating heart-healthy and waist-slimming exercise into your new diet * Tips on how to maintain your low-carb lifestyle in the long-run * Strategies for responsibly indulging in the occasional carb-y food--because "low-carb" doesn't mean "no-carb!" Perfect for anyone dieting for a short-term goal, as well as those looking for a long-term lifestyle change, Low-Carb Diet For Dummies is your secret weapon to going low-carb without missing out on some of the world's greatest foods.
