Product Description
   
Ah, the wonders of a slow cooker. After a long, hard day you can walk in the door and the aroma of a hot, home-cooked meal fills the air. You donÆt have to do that fast tango from fridge to pantry to stove and back again. ItÆs nearly as good as having a personal chef!

But for the low-carb dieter, traditional slow cooker recipes can be a problem. Many of them depend on potatoes, noodles, rice, and starchy canned soups. And if youÆve tried to make up your own slow cooker recipes, you may have found the results less than compelling -- too often the food can be mushy, water-logged, and bland.

Fortunately, with 200 Low-Carb Slow Cooker Recipes, you can use your slow cooker and follow your low-carb diet, too!

Come home to:
Tuscan Chicken * Kashmiri Lamb Shanks * Teriyaki-Tangerine Ribs * Chicken Minestrone * Orange Rosemary Pork * Chipotle Brisket * Firehouse Chili * Thai Chicken Bowls * Braised Pork with Fennel * Pizza Stew * MortyÆs Mixed Meat Loaf * Low-Carb Slow Cooker Paella

But thatÆs not all! The gentle, even heat of a slow cooker makes it the perfect way to cook many different kinds of foods. YouÆll make low-carb party treats like Hot Crab Dip and Glazed Chicken Wings, and snacks like SmokinÆ Chili Peanuts and Curried Pecans. ItÆs the superior way to cook incredible sugar-free desserts like Mochaccino Cheesecake and Maple-Pumpkin Custard. And youÆve never had moister, more tender seafood than my Lime-Basted Scallops or Lemon-Mustard Salmon Steaks. Plus, every recipe lists the calories, protein, fiber, and usable carbs per serving, so youÆll not only be in control of your life and your time, youÆll be in control of your diet as well.

So go ahead, plug in your slow cooker, and look forward to coming home to a fabulous low-carb supper tonight!

This Book Sounds Like A Real Artery Clogger!
The five-star reviews sound like biased raves from members of the Dana Carpender Fan Club, while other reviews helpfully warn that many of the recipes, while low-carb, use lots of butter and beef, which make them high cholesterol meaning they're most definitely NOT for me! Sounds like it's a cookbook for the Atkins crowd. (Does anyone even DO Atkins anymore?)

Low Carb Slow Cooker Cookbook
A lovely book. It's hard to find low carb recipes for slow cookers. Be sure to know where you can buy things like soy flour and unique low carb cooking supplies.

Disappointing
I tried two recipes and I didn't like the taste of the meals. It had nothing to do with the technicalities of the recipe but it is the style of food - it was stodgey and tasted like canned food.

Truly low carb, wonderfully varied and delicious..-Miz-J.
This is a low carb book written by someone who knows what it's like to live on a low carb diet, rather than a nutritionist who's just going by the numbers. Dana Carpender has a wonderful sense of humor, she makes her recipes interesting with her comments even if you don't want to cook them. I like the fact that she occasionally adds a high carb item but she explains why and why it's worth it.

Her section on Ingredients, Common and Not So Common is wonderful. Here is the secret to guar and xanthan gums! Who would have believed that low sugar marmalade and jams would have fewer carbs than the all fruit kind. And the vegetables and side dishes, who ever bothered with a slow cooker for side dishes?? The idea of cooking custard in the slow cooker is totally new to me. Custard is one of my favorite desserts. The information in this book is invaluable for diabetics.

I checked both of her books out of the library and kept them until mine arrived from Amazon. If you must live on a low carb diet, this book and her 500 Low Carb Recipes book are must-haves for your cookbook library.

A dream cookbook
I don't like to cook and use slow cookers whenever possible, and needed to go low-carb (the only way I've ever lost weight), so this was a no-brainer. To my delight I've found lots of good recipes, and was so impressed I sent a copy to my sister and roommate who live on low-carb, too. They have been so delighted they use this book almost exclusively, and have served guests who liked the food and had no idea it was low-carb. How nice is that???

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting

qweDieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting. Danger 1 - on my own The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet. Danger 2 - on the buckwheat There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements. The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes. Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation. The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however. Danger 3 – only diet If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume. The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed. Danger 4- food is my best friend The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry. Remember everything is in your own hands.
