The Protein Advantage Cookbook is the new template for low-carb eating, filled with the latest science and 100 recipes to help you meet your weight loss, body composition, and health goals.
Synopsis:
For years, we’ve followed the traditional ketogenic diet formula: high fat, moderate protein, and very low carbs. And it worked—individuals saw the benefits of shifting from being sugar burners to fat burners. However, new science is showing that a low carbohydrate diet with higher protein ratios burns more stored fat and preserves and builds more lean muscle tissue. Recent research also suggests that a large percentage of adults are not consuming enough protein to maintain healthy bodies into middle age and beyond. And numerous experts agree that the RDA or protein for adults over age 50 is too low. High protein, low-carb diets are no longer the purview of body builders and athletes. It is a vital requirement for our health and longevity.
The Protein Advantage Cookbook provides a delicious path to health with recipes like:4
- Sheet Pan Omelet
- Loaded Breakfast Casserole
- Protein Bagels
- Chocolate Donuts
- Turkey Chili Verde
- Korean Beef and Broccoli
- Spinach Feta Chicken Burgers
- Lasagna Stuffed Zucchini Boats
- Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Cream Sauce
- Easy Protein Chocolate Mousse
- Peanut Butter Bars
- Protein Cheesecake
Recipe:
This one is unexpected for a protein cookbook, but yogurt has protein~lots of it! This recipe can easily be altered- add some fresh blueberries or raspberries, for a spring cake!
Review:
This book has recipes that were expected (turkey chili, chicken burgers), but also unexpected ones, like the cheesecake and donuts! Simple changes can make huge protein increases, like adding yogurt or egg whites, to recipes or switching out high protein chicken from lower protein pork. The recipes may be familiar, but it's the swap of ingredients that you really need, if you are on a high protein diet. If you are new to high protein diets, this is a good starter cookbook, with basic recipes that you can use for multiple meals and meal prep.
