My favorite low carb cookbook – Stella Style

I’ve been on a primarily low carb diet for about 4 years now. I mean, if you don’t count the months here and there where I decide to completely sabotage myself and eat anything and everything I can get my hands on.
The thing about eating low carb for that long is that it gets boring.
You can only have so many hamburger patties with cheese or chicken salads before you want to stab someone.
Add that to the fact that I refuse to cook more than one meal at dinner time – meaning my family gets one low carb meal a day – and I absolutely have to find ways to be creative with a low carb menu.
George Stella and his “Stella Style” cooking has saved my diet on more than one occassion.
What I like about this cookbook is that it’s not exactly Atkins. I don’t follow quite as strict a regimine as the Atkins Diet, so it was nice to find a low carb philosophy that was closer to mine.
“Stella Style” is basically about eating low carb – not counting carbs. You make foods that are naturally low in carbs – especially “bad” carbs found in things like flour and sugar – and don’t worry about how much of it you eat. It has been an easier way to maintain a low carb lifestyle long term for me.
