Slow Carb for Life: The Ultimate Practical Guide to Low-Carb Living

by Patricia Haakonson and Harv Haakonson, M.D.

Price: $24.95

Well-known Canadian authors, Dr. Harv & Patricia Haakonson present a revolutionary, balanced approach to dieting — from low-fat to low carb to their special approach: “slow carb.” “Slow carbs” are carbohydrates that convert to blood sugar over time, avoiding the negative health impacts related to eating highly refined carbohydrates. “Slow carb” relies on a balance of normal food portions, including fruits, whole grains, and proteins.

What sets Slow Carb for Life apart from other low carb books? It offers:

  • simple explanations for the science behind slow carb metabolism
  • a realistic and proven approach to changing eating habits
  • advice for special dietary needs, e.g. teens, vegetarians, and diabetics
  • simple, practical, everyday tips to maintain the slow carb fat burn
  • easy-to-follow daily intake guidelines for weight loss or weight maintenance
  • a handy built-in carb counter and food diary to make weight loss easy
  • over 100 delicious slow carb recipes for breads, muffins, and cookies in addition to soups, salads, vegetables, poultry, fish, and meat
  • FAQ’s and testimonials about experiences and successes with this approach

This complete guide includes everything for the novice and the long-term “slow carber” to succeed.

I have just started the diet, and finding it easy to do, but why is there not a recipe for the Mushroom/Spinach fritatta recommended on Day 5 breakfast? I can wing it, but I'd rather have a guideline for quantities and how to make a fritatta. Thanks.
