Download or read book Holiday Keto written by Stacey Michelle and published by Centennial Books. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keto is the fastest-growing diet in America, and the holiday season poses its greatest challenge: a steady stream of parties and feasts full of carbohydrate-loaded foods (think stuffing and sweet potato casserole) and tempting desserts. With this indespensible guide, you will never feel hungry, burn fat, boost energy, and transfrom your body all while enjoying the festive season. The ketogenic diet is based on cutting carbs down almost to near-zero while upping fat intake, and it has been shown to not only help people lose weight permanently, but also be good for their health by stabilizing blood sugar, lowering blood pressure, and improving markers for heart disease, among other benefits. This book is a guide to handling your keto lifestyle throughout the holidays to both enjoy the season and still maintain a healthy diet program. Starting first with the basics of keto—what it is, how and why it works, and what you need to know about fats and carbs—readers get tips on how to prep their kitchen, entertain in style, stay on track with exercise, and get through tough moments: maintaining keto when friends and family pressure you, recovering from a “cheat,” and adjusting your diet in the short term. The centerpiece is an extensive and colorful collection of keto recipes, starting with cocktails and appetizers and going through main and side dishes, vegetarian and vegan, and spectacular desserts. We wrap up with a fun keto gift guide full of products and foods that every keto dieter will love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Crazy busy” is a phrase we use when the week seems to spin out of control—like when the school project has to be done tomorrow but necessitates a trip to the craft store, which you will do after the dental appointment and the PTA meeting on your way to pick up the dog from the vet. How are you going to fit in a meal that leaves you feeling satisfied without kicking you out of ketosis? Crazy Busy Keto makes sticking to a low-carb, ketogenic diet easier than ever by making it simple. Whether you’re juggling work, school, children, pets, travel, or all of the above, you can follow keto with the simple tips and shortcuts outlined in this book. Kristie Sullivan has done the work for you by finding great low-carb options wherever you are, in as much or as little time as you have to eat. From grab-and-go convenience store and grocery store selections to hotel breakfasts to restaurant lunches and dinners, her quick and easy tips will streamline your keto life. There are breakfast options that are faster than a drive-thru, lunch ideas that don’t require refrigeration, and shopping tips that will save you time and money. Kristie has also included special tips for traveling, storing foods on the go, and slashing minutes off the clock each day, along with easy ways to avoid food waste. Each chapter features recipes that can be made without access to a full kitchen and use common ingredients—no special-ordering anything online. Many of the recipes are traditional favorites that can easily be cooked in a microwave, such as lasagna, spinach artichoke dip, and even cheesecake, which can be made with as few as five ingredients and tastes amazing! In addition, Kristie gives ideas for lightning-fast assembled meals that will hit the spot in a pinch. The book also includes shopping lists for stocking your pantry, fridge, and freezer so that you have what you need, when you need it. Sample recipes include: Good Morning Granola Salad Bar Crustless Quiche (grab pre-prepped ingredients from your fridge or shop the grocery store salad bar!) Cold Pizza Bowl Deconstructed Chicken Cordon Bleu Speedy Creamed Spinach Loaded Baked Yellow Squash Cheese Cracker Snacks Peanut Butter Fudge Life isn’t perfect, but your macros can be when you learn how to survive and thrive with Crazy Busy Keto.

  • Pages : 273 pages

Download or read book Keto Adapted written by Maria Emmerich and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ketogenic diet isn't something new that has been recently formulated; people have been on a ketogenic diet for virtually three million years in which our brains were nurtured and evolved. Now the human brain is not only shrinking, but brain atrophy is the norm as we age and get plagued with diseases such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. People mistakenly think that they need to eat less and exercise more to create a calorie deficit in order to lose weight. This is not how diet and exercise helps with weight loss. A well-formulated keto-adapted diet along with proper exercise builds muscle and muscle builds mitochondria. It is in the mitochondria where fat is oxidized so you can keep your cells and liver insulin sensitized. Weight loss and health is about healthy mitochondria and about controlling hormones and specifically insulin. This is not a diet, it is a lifestyle. By eating this way, you will begin to heal your cells and will keep evolving your body into the happy and healthy person you want to be. This book is filled with the most impeccable nutrition information to fuel your cells. Maria's passion goes beyond explaining the 'why', she is a master in the kitchen and loves food. Her keto-adapted recipes at the end of the book tie all the nutrition together so you can become keto-adapted faster than ever.

Book Feast in the Middle East

  • Publisher : MCP Books
  • Release : 2020-01-14
  • ISBN : 9781545675106
  • Pages : 119 pages

Download or read book Feast in the Middle East written by Blanche Araj Shaheen and published by MCP Books. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in an Arab American household, rich traditional Arabic dishes were central to Blanche's family's life. However she noticed that previous generations of her family did not document these heirloom recipes on paper, but passed the cooking techniques only by word of mouth. So Blanche began a mission of cultural preservation, taking down the cooking methods and exact ingredients of these hundreds of year old recipes. She launched a popular YouTube cooking show called ''Feast in the Middle East'' to not only share these recipes with her family, but with the world. Some of these dishes are classical favorites, like smoky Syrian Muhammara dip with walnuts, pomegranate molasses and roasted peppers, ''Warak Enab, '' or rice and lamb rolled into tender grape leaves and cooked in a tomato broth, or Lebanese semolina custard scented with rose water called ''Layali Lubnan'' or ''Lebanese Nights''. Other dishes, like Musakhan, come from small and obscure villages like Ein Erik in the Palestinian West Bank. Musakhan is a sumac spiced chicken roasted on bread and smothered with caramelized onions and toasted pine nuts. Ancient recipes like chewy semolina date ring cookies called Ma'moul commemorate both Easter and Ramadan, while an over 1000 year old cinnamon spiced bulgur wheat porridge called Burbarra celebrates the Feast of Santa Barbara in the Arab Levant, Malta, and even Eastern Europe. While many of these dishes used to take hours to make, Blanche modernized these recipes to adapt to today's western palate and busy lifestyles. Readers will be able to recreate street foods like Chicken Shawarma and crispy Felafel in their own kitchens using easy techniques and familiar ingredients. Fusion dishes like Baklava Granola with pistachios and cardamom, Middle Eastern Nachos or ''Machos'' with pita chips and cucumber yogurt sauce, and a Lemon Cheesecake made with creamy labneh cheese adapt middle eastern spices and ingredients to western tastes. Today the ''Feast in the Middle East'' YouTube series has brought together a global cooking community in an unexpected and beautiful way. Now viewers are making these recipes in the United States, Canada, India, Australia, Spain, Korea and beyond. AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY: Blanche Araj Shaheen is the YouTube personality and host of the popular cooking show, Feast in the Middle East. Prior to her foray into food, she was a television host and reporter in both entertainment and news. She reported and hosted programs for PBS, G4 Television, and Link Media's ''Mosaic World News of the Middle East.'' She also became the first Arab American entertainment reporter, as a contributor for the ABC live show called ''View From the Bay.'' In 2010 Blanche made the switch to hosting her own YouTube cooking show, sharing heirloom recipes preserved by her mother and grandmother. With her journalism background, she decided to document the recipes in this cookbook, and Feast in the Middle East was born. She gives the historical relevance of many signature dishes, and shares personal stories from her own family traditions and trips to the Middle East. Aside from her ongoing cooking series on YouTube, Blanche's Feast In the Middle East has been featured on Virgin America Airlines AUTHOR HOME: Los Altos, C
