Carb-Conscious Vegetarian

Carb-Conscious Vegetarian

150 Recipes for a Healthy Lifestyle

by Robin Robertson

This is the vegetarian’s sensible answer to the low-carb diet frenzy. Most low-carb diets emphasize consumption of large amounts of meat and cheese as the magic way to slim down. But vegetarians, and others who avoid animal products, already have a way to look healthy and stay trim – a natural diet.

Many vegetarians are confused about carbohydrates since all plant-based foods contain carbohydrates to varying degrees. This cookbook shows the delicious and sensible way to win at the game by avoiding the refined carbohydrate trap of white bread, pasta, and rice at mealtime that so many vegetarians turn to. The recipes in this book eliminate refined carbohydrates, thus allowing you to cut back on carbs without sacrificing necessary fiber, phytochemicals, and other important nutrients.

Because the recipes are vegetarian, they also leave out the saturated fat and cholesterol usually associated with low-carb diets. Designed for the carb-conscious vegetarian, this book was conceived in response to numerous requests by readers of Robin’s other books, cooking class students, and others who wish for a vegetarian cookbook that focuses on good carbs and eliminates the bad carbs.
