Low Carb dieters can finally eat bread - that tastes like bread - again After months of low carb dieting and collectively losing over 100 pounds, Veronica and Laura Childs have released their newest book "Low Carb Breads, Crackers, and More." Are you fed up with making 'something like a bread dough' out of hard to find, or annoying to prepare, ingredients? Tired of that boring old microwave muffin but don't want to put questionable ingredients into your body? Don't have the time to blanch, chop and strain expensive vegetables just to enjoy a slice of low carb pizza? We were too As authors of The Low Carb High Fat Diet, our friends and readers consistently requested a better low carb bread than they could find in a grocery store or online. The criteria, based on reader feedback, was for recipes that were: Low carb versions of basic dietary staples - breads, crackers, wraps, pizza, muffins and a few sweeter treats. Real food made with real ingredients - no fake sugars, no chemical additives, and fewer factory processing. Low carb crackers fit for a party, and bread that the entire family would eat (so busy cooks could stick to their diet without having to prepare two separate meals every night). Easy to find ingredients, preferably locally purchased, at low to moderate cost. Fast preparation - so busy moms, singles and families could get out of the kitchen sooner. Complete and verifiable nutritional data. More baked, less microwaved, low carb recipes." Low carb dieters have been missing more than a decent slice of bread. We need crackers for cheeses and dips; hot rolls to accompany soups and stews; a quick pizza dinner, and some baked treats, too.""We need stuffing for our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. We need better buns and bagels." This book is our personal baking binder, whittled down to the top 40+ recipes including pitas, bagels, and donuts. You'll also find a bonus of favorite dips that are suitable for both casual meals and large family gatherings. Every recipe has nutritional information and most have photos, descriptions and serving suggestions. With your health and budget in mind, you'll also find an introduction to low carb baking and the easy to find ingredients we use. Our contact information is inside the book should you have any questions. We are always thrilled to hear from you and assist you on your low carb diet adventure.

Lose Weight with the Low Carb High Fat, No Hunger DietWhat if we told you that you can lose a considerable amount of weight before you have to put on that bridesmaid dress next month? In time for your vacation? Or drop enough weight in the first 10 weeks to fit into your high school jeans - just in time for that high school reunion? (One of the Low Carb High Fat Diet authors did it, you can too )Does that sound like something you'd like to achieve? What if you don't have to count every calorie or be hungry while losing weight? Or be stuck eating like a rabbit." This diet already sounds too good to be true." We aren't trying to convince you that this is the Holy Grail of weight loss - but it is hard to curtail our excitement. Both of us - a 50 year old mother and her 20 year old daughter - lost over 30 pounds each; easily and effortlessly by following this set of diet protocols. Here's how this began: We were sick of being large and unhappy. Tired of being tired. Fed up with our lack of confidence. This weight gain had to stop. Mom had already received a worrisome report from her doctor. We studied diets, nutrition reports, research studies, and listened to other dieter's feedback. Next we compared notes and devised our own diet; one we thought might work for us. And work it did Following just a few simple guidelines we ate our fill of our favorite foods. We cut out a few others. People noticed the change. They asked us to share the diet. At first we shared recipes, but they wanted more. We answered private messages, personal emails, and the multitude of questions asked of us in public. When a few friends started losing weight the way we we'd shared, friends-of-friends began asking for our secrets. That's when we sat down and got to work writing out everything we had learned, the foods we ate, and the nutritional concepts we'd uncovered. We want you to know: We performed most of our research online (from reputable sources only), read the most popular diet books, contemplated how it could fit into busy lives, and then added a dash of common sense. You can do all of that for yourself (and save the cost of buying a book), but doing so might take months. Our diet isn't the Holy Grail of weight loss (as we've clearly stated above). It is not 'secrets' that only we are privy to. The "Low Carb High Fat No Hunger Diet" is a hybrid created from necessity. It is the best of the top three diets, with the most wretched parts left behind. Here's what happened next: A few weeks ago we gave a few friends an early copy of this book. So far, their results have been effortless weight loss, no hunger, results in the first few days, better than average results over the first weeks. We are currently compiling these results. We hope that you will be our next success story What's In The Book?
