*identify the good fats—and enjoy their good taste
*avoid trans fats and other bad fats that damage health and pile on the pounds
*combine low-carb foods with beneficial fats, proteins, and fresh ingredients for maximum energy
*lose weight by eating more of the foods you crave

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Since the 1970s, dieters have eliminated fat, yet over those years the obesity rate in America has increased 25%, explains McCullough (Low-Carb Cookbook). Demystifying concepts like HDL and LDL cholesterol, fish oil supplements, triglycerides, saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats, McCullough helps readers navigate the labyrinth of food selection. She builds on the work of Atkins, Dr. Melvin Anchell (Steak Lover's Diet), Gary Taubes, Dr. Mary Enig and the eye-opening 2001 Harvard Nurses' study (which showed no relationship between total fat consumption and heart disease). McCullough persuasively argues that highly processed foods are the worst to eat. We are still far from knowing the many mysteries of diet (soy is called into question), and while this book offers no comprehensive diet plan, it does advocate for moderation and traditional whole foods. Each "good" food seafood, meats, coconut, eggs, butter and dairy products, avocado, walnuts has a helpful Do's and Don'ts section. Recipes like Thai Seafood Chowder, Greek lemony Fried Potatoes (which uses olive oil), and Massaman Curry with Sweet Potatoes and Peanuts make it easy to incorporate good fats into a healthy diet. This book helps readers distinguish myth from reality in the search for better nutrition and weight loss.
Customer Reviews
Delicious food- oh and btw fats with benefits.
Fran McCullough's recipes are fabulous for any one tired of the same old. It is refreshing to see FAT as the focus, rather than the antithesis. I love the format of the book. While that part isn't unique, finding the information to support the use of ingredients is very helpful.. The cheese cake with mac nuts and coconut milk was well received by my family for an Easter treat. I know it's not a new book, but it deserves a look, today.
