Building upon the success of Nicola Graimes's bestselling cookbook, "Big Book of Low Carb Recipes," which has sold over 120,000 copies, "The Right Carb" cookbook emphasizes the importance of consuming the right carbohydrates (fats and sugars) in sensible, moderate amounts for optimal health.
Recent research indicates that a diet featuring a moderate carb intake (around 50-55% of calories) is superior for long-term health and well-being compared to extremely low (below 40%) or high (over 60%) carb diets, both of which can have negative impacts on life expectancy.
"The Right Carb" is a timely and informative guide that underscores the significance of incorporating good carbs into our diets for improved health. Offering practical advice and tips, the book explains the essential role of 'right' carbs: providing energy, enhancing gut health, digestion, mood, and even aiding in better sleep.
Readers will learn how to select the right carbs and the best methods to prepare and cook them to retain maximum nutrition while minimizing nutrient loss. Emphasizing balance, the book also stresses the importance of other food groups, such as high-quality plant proteins and certain fats.
Complementing the sensible dietary guidance, "The Right Carb" presents a collection of over 50 inspiring recipes divided into chapters on Breakfasts, Small Plates, Big Plates, Sides, and Sweet Treats. Each recipe is accompanied by a 'Right Carb' tip box, detailing the specific right carb in the recipe, along with its carb and calorie count.
"The Right Carb" offers a comprehensive approach to sustainable carb consumption for the long term, steering away from quick-fix diets. With its array of delicious and quick recipes, this book presents a practical and motivational method for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
