    Thank you so much for sharing a part of your life's journey with me! I´ve followed a low carb lifestyle since June 2003. I have enjoyed every day of it.   

    Low carb is not a diet of "sacrifice". My meals are rich with delicious flavors. I am always full when I finish eating. Each day I enjoy my high energy levels.   Daily meals are dense in flavor and nutrients - spinach salads, mushroom omelets, tuna melts, and devilled eggs as a delicious snack.  For luxurious nights out, I can relish a meal of filet mignon with asparagus. I can even enjoy homemade ice cream with ripe raspberries for dessert.  

    Once I cut excess sugars and starches out of my diet, I found I had far more energy to enjoy life with. The rich fiber foods have helped me sleep more soundly. The omega-3 oils keep my brain's creativity and efficiency at an all time high.  I am very happy to answer any questions you might have about healthy eating.  

    Feel free to visit my site at Lowcarb.BellaOnline.com and let me know what's on your mind!

    I love writing in a variety of genres. I currently have over 300 books published in all lengths from full 500+ page novels down to short stories. I love writing series. Some are with unconnected characters, like the 14 full-length medieval novels with a sword being passed from heroine to heroine. Some have connected characters, like the 31 mini-mysteries featuring a detective in Salem, Massachusetts. All of my books are written "clean" with no explicit intimacy, no harsh language, and no explicit violence. All are suitable for teens and up.

      Quick No-Cook Low Carb Recipes - Lisa Shea

      Introduction

      The first wealth is health

      -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

      In the many years that I’ve been writing about low carb, the number one issue I’ve heard from my visitors is that they simply don’t have time to cook healthy meals. They are too busy with work, with family, with other activities to dedicate the hours a day our grandmothers used to spend cooking and cleaning.

      The result is that we eat junk food at home. When we go out to eat we often settle for unhealthy fast food restaurants. Every day we end up damaging our own health. We sap away our own energy levels, we cause sleepless nights, and we set ourselves up for long term damage.

      This book exists to help you learn ways to prepare quick, healthy meals that you can enjoy. Every recipe in this book can be made without cooking. Whether you’re at an office without a microwave or living in a college dorm, you can make these healthy foods and keep your body maintained properly.

      This book features forty-six recipes ranging from easy celery-and-hummus recipes that any college student can count on to more advanced recipes which require a few ingredients to assemble. If you’re just starting out in life, the simple recipes like cheese plates might be a life-saver. If you’re a more experienced cook, the more complex recipes like the tuna tartare can spark some fun ideas.

      Try a new recipe every day for over a month and expand your menu choices!

      A key of low carb eating - and really of all healthy eating - is that you should never be starving. If your body starts to get really hungry, it thinks there is a fast going on and it starts to hold onto fat as a mechanism to handle the upcoming danger. You do not want your body to be holding onto fat! You need to eat small, regular meals so that your body feels safe and able to burn those fat reserves.

      Free your mind of restrictions like breakfast only food. If you have a delicious salad you enjoy, it’s fine as a breakfast. If protein shakes tickle your fancy, keep a stock of them in the corner and have one each afternoon as a snack. Whatever works for you is what you should go with.

      The appendices at the end of the book provide a wealth of ideas on how to create an atmosphere in your life that supports healthy eating. From how to determine the effective carbs in food to how to stock a low carb pantry, from breaking that clearing-your-plate habit to how even music impacts your eating pace, you’ll find ideas to help you maintain your health goals.

      Enjoy this first step to a healthier eating style! I’d always love feedback on this book, to help me improve later versions. What other recipes would you like to see? What variations on these existing recipes did you enjoy? I look forward to hearing from you!

      A Word about No Cook

      This book is intended for people who have access to NO means of cooking at all. That could be college students in a dorm. Maybe it’s a worker stuck in an office building. It could be people camping on a trip where no fire pit is available.

      Everything in this book can be made without heat.

      A few recipes include pre-cooked items that you can find at most grocery stores like hard-boiled eggs and cooked shrimp. This isn’t cheating any more than buying pre-made cheese or toasted almonds is cheating. You’re not cooking and making that cheese yourself, or toasting those almonds, after all. You’re buying an item to use in your final recipe product.

      So everything here can be created from commonly found supermarket or farmer’s market item.

      Important Note on the Range of Recipes

      We are all at different stages in our eating range. This book is intended to be useful for people of all levels of eating experience.

      A large portion of readers are college students, perhaps who have grown up with a fairly tame McDonald’s style diet. Things you might find normal and natural like a tomato mozzarella basil salad might be brand new to them. They might never have considered having carrots with a ginger-lime sauce.

      The book aims to provide some new ideas for each person to try. If you’re already a die-hard fan of devilled eggs, that’s great! I adore them myself. Maybe you’ll want to give a try to the tuna tartare appetizer and the New England pumpkin butter. Those could easily be items that a milder-food-eating college student could take months to work their way up to.

      Something for everyone.

      And to the visitor from the UK who thought the idea of peanut butter and jam on cucumber slices was the ultimate in unnatural combinations, I’ve visited the UK many times. There are food choices that UK residents adore that many people in the rest of the world would find fairly questionable J. That’s why I present a range here. Vegetarians have some options, picky eaters have some options, and the adventurous amongst us have somethings to explore with.

      I’m always open to suggestions and new ideas! Let me know what I should add in!

      Abbreviations

      If you’re new to cooking, here’s a few hints on abbreviations.

      tsp – teaspoon

      Tbsp – tablespoon

      Dash – this is a nebulous amount. Sort of like a pinch. Just a tiny amount to add a hint of flavor.

      A liquid cup is not necessarily the same as a dry-measure cup. It’s good to have both a liquid measuring cup and the dry-measure cups on hand. When measuring a dry ingredient, try to level it off at the top of the cup.

      Salads

      In most parts of the world a salad is a delicious, traditional part of a healthy meal. The United States is slowly coming around to this delightful point of view.

      If you were to relax into a
