      Low Carb Meal Ideas Introduction

      Going on a low carb diet has benefits that go beyond simply losing weight. The low carb diet hit a frenzied phase a few years ago, showing many people losing a lot of weight, but also gaining it back as soon as they stopped the diet. The diet came under a lot of scrutiny, being judged as unhealthy, while the proponents held true to their claim of it being perfectly safe and beneficial. This book does not list a low carb diet per se but rather features two diets that are naturally low in carbs, but not to the point of being dangerous. The two diets, the Gluten Free Diet and the Mediterranean Diet both feature well balanced meals with a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and good healthy lean meats. Each diet is not strictly all protein but offers a nice balance of good carbs found in fruits and vegetables along with the protein in lean meats, legumes, and nuts. The diets listed here are modified versions of the famous South Beach and Atkins, without having a name brand attached.

      The number one side effect of a low carb diet is the weight loss, which is why they are so popular with people who need to shed some extra weight and fat. When a low carb diet is consumed the fat and weight fall off faster and easier, and especially with exercise too.

      People who suffer from diabetes do well on the low carb diet, because carbs turn into sugar in the body and raises the insulin levels. If a person does not have diabetes, yet it runs in their family they should take measures to prevent it. Eating a low carb diet is a good measure to act as a preventative to the ill health condition.

      Reducing the risk for heart disease is another plus of eating a low carb diet. Heart disease is a factor in excessive weight and by losing the weight the risk for heart conditions may go down significantly as well. Preventatives for heart disease are a diet that is high in good fats that come from plants like olives. The body needs a healthy balance of good fats and proteins along with good carbs derived from fresh fruits and vegetables.

      Low carb diets give the body good cholesterol, the kind of cholesterol that works with the body in helping it to be healthier. So as you are losing weight you are gaining good cholesterol. Just an added benefit of these two diet plans.

      The Gluten Free diet is primarily a low carb diet because of the absence of gluten. Gluten is found in grains like wheat and in particular, it is found in processed flours and junk foods. Gluten sticks to the body and causes weight gain that turns into fat. Gluten is bad for diabetics because it is a carbohydrate, which the body converts to glucose or sugar. This in turns causes the insulin levels to rise. Even for a non-diabetic, gluten turns into fat. One of the best ways to lose weight is simply to get rid of the gluten, which leaves you with fresh fruits and vegetables and lean cuts of meats. It is easy to shop if you focus on the produce section and the meat counter, and stock up on herbs and spices. However, it is not always easy to come up with different recipes to make the meals go from boring to exciting.

      The recipes in the gluten free section of this book can help to plan gluten free meals for two to three weeks or longer. There is a wide variety of meals in the main entree section. For example, try a delicious Turkey Burger. There are Fish Tacos, Gluten Free Lasagna, Seared Ahi Tuna with Grilled Vegetable Quinoa Salad, Gluten Free Beef Stew, Tuscan Style Chicken with Mushrooms, Brazil Nut Crusted Tilapia, Goat Cheese Ravioli, and Thai Style Peanut Chicken with Gluten Free Noodles.

      Appetizers can make great lunches, snacks, or even side dishes. Mix and match these with the main entrees to have a full meal plan. Try the Vinegar Slaw, Balsamic Glazed Roasted Vegetables, Grilled Radicchio with Goat Cheese, Butternut Squash Soup, Sunflower Seed Hummus, or the Gluten Free Pot Stickers.

      Breakfast is always an important meal and there are no shortage of recipes and suggestions for the best meal to start the day the low carb way. Breakfast and brunch needs to provide enough food to fuel the body to give energy, get up, and move. Serving these recipes with an additional protein or fruit will be beneficial. Try the Gluten Free Croissants with a slice of lean ham and a piece of fresh fruit. Try the Coconut Flour Pancakes with your favorite low carb toppings. The Crepes go well with fruit too.

      The desserts section offers delicious gluten free pies, cookies, and cake. Try the No Bake Strawberry Pie, Brownies with Matcha, Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies or the Pumpkin Cake. There is even a delectable recipe for a Pistachio Cheesecake.

      The Mediterranean Diet section contains more suggestions for recipe creation than actual recipes. You will find many of the foods suggestion by the Mediterranean Diet are included in the gluten free recipes. The Mediterranean Diet looks at the people living along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. These people are healthy, with little heart disease and it is rare to find an obese person. Their diets are rich in the foods produced in their region, fresh fruits and vegetables and very lean cuts of meat. They eat a lot of olive oil in their foods, which provides the
