Recipes

These are all low-carb, adequate protein, high-fat recipes.  Yes, there may be other ways to eat for health, and you can find many explanations about how to try them.  Not here, though.  This section will focus on that island of health benefit that is possible for many people by sticking with a low-carb, adequate protein, high-fat diet.  But even that seemingly narrow realm has “flavors.”  Some people report feeling better  on a no-grain diet, not even rice and oatmeal, and some intriguing science supports  that view.  Some people, for well-thought out reasons, define “low-carb” as following a menu plan that adds up to only 35 grams of carbs a day, or 50 grams a day.  There are vegans who want to try this approach, vegetarians, gourmets and people on-the-go.  Just search on those phrases to find a more tailored set of menus.

Two important ratios are part of all these recipes — none are high protein (so less than 20% protein . . . . and we’ll highlight ones that are less than 10%, and all of them provide over 60% of their calories from fat.)   That may be a contrarian way to eat, but there’s plenty of science to support this approach, and if it’s not for you . . . well, choice is a tap away to other sites and other forms of food science, gospel and audacious opinions, all available on this wonderful web.

Before we post your recipe, we’ll check it in the BalancePointHealth system calculator, to see whether the crucial ratios of high-fat, adequate protein, low carb are generally being observed, and we might tweak the recipe a bit if it’s close but not quite.
