My journal of following the LCE plan.
Low Carb Cookbooks
Posted 07-30-2009 at 06:28 PM by katlupe
I am SO psyched today!!
I received two books from paperbackswap that have been on my wish list ever since I started eating low carbs. Two on the same day from the same person. My name must have come to the top of the wish list just in time and she listed both of them. So I'll stop keeping you in suspense and tell you the books I got......
The first one is George Stella's Livin' Low Carb : Family Recipes Stella Style and it looks great! In new condition. Makes me wonder about the person who posted it....did she just give up on low carbs or what?
The next one is The Low-Carb Barbecue Book: Over 200 Recipes for the Grill and Picnic Table by Dana Carpender. I have three other books by her that I also got from paperbackswap. I use her recipes all the time. I like the way she writes....down to earth if you know what I mean.
Last week I also got Dr. Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution : Nature's Answer to Drugs. I am using that book to figure out what my husband and I need to be taking to supplement our diet as far as nutrients go.
Since December of last year (2008) I have received 19 low carb books and all they cost me is the price of shipping either books or cds to other members. Most of mine were from cds. I had an extensive library of music cds and much classic rock. Since I moved out here I'd rather listen to the birds or the quiet of the forest I live in than music.
Out of all the books I received only two I would say weren't worth it. Low Carbs For Dummies by Tom Lacalamita is one. And 1001 Low-Carb Recipes for Life by Sue Spitler are not for real low carbers. They both recommend eating higher amounts of carbs than I would ever dream of. Linda Yoakam who co-wrote the book with Sue Spitler recommends at least 130 carbs a day!!!!
No wonder people have trouble losing weight with a "nutrition" professional" advising people to eat that many carbs.
I keep my low carb books on my cookbook shelf in my kitchen to always be handy. Now I am able to look up tasty low carb recipes in a flash. I'm not always on my computer you know. Love the new dishes and love the low carb life!

What a great surprise! I have both those cookbooks and Love them both. especially George Stell's. His New York style Ricotta cheesecake is the best low carb cheesecake I've ever had. Hope your garden has a last gasp bumper crop~Posted 08-18-2009 at 11:19 AM by Rob

Today is my lucky day!!! I am getting another of George Stella's cookbooks from my paperbackswap! It pays to fill out your wish list on there even if you are way down on the list. Eventually you move up!
