Cookbooks – 150 Best Spiralizer Recipes

Okay, there have been many dozens of cookbooks on the subject of spiralizing since this book was published:

150 Best Spiralizer Recipes 
by Marilyn Haugen  (Author), Jennifer Williams  (Author)
July 30, 2015

This was my first book on the subject (and only one I saw in the store I was in at the time) and I have to say that it was pretty good at getting me indoctrinated into the world of spiralizing after my life altering diagnoses a few months ago.

So if you run across this book, it is not a bad choice.

It will walk you through the different fruits and vegetables for spiralizing.  Before the book, all I knew I could spiralize was zucchini.  I didn’t shop in places where riced and spiralized vegetables were bagged or boxed in the fresh produce section.

It showed me what to do to the produce to ready for spiralizing, what to do with the spiralized produce and what cut was best for the produce (i.e. ribbon cut, medium strands, etc.)  It then has some pretty tasty sounding recipes to utilize your spiralized produce.

The recipes are simple to follow with tips.  I enjoyed zucchini noodles with tomatoes and pesto, and zucchini noodles with grilled shrimp and lemon basil dressing.  Yummy!

Not all of these are suited for low carb weight loss or long term diabetic maintenance where even sweet potatoes are off the list, but it gave me enough of a foundation to venture further into the world of spiralizing!

What is Metabolic Syndrome?

yoga-2756796_1280I went and looked up Metabolic Syndrome online.  I was horrified and realized I was on the fast track to insulin resistance.   Both my sisters have the same diagnoses that I have without the Metabolic Syndrome term diagnosis and have much worse numbers than I do.  One sister IS insulin resistant. The other is fast becoming insulin resistant. Their glucose readings are truly alarming.

If you have been told you are “metabolic” or have “metabolic syndrome” then you most likely have:

  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • High triglycerides
  • Fatty liver

A horrible quintet of diagnoses that leads to a host of not so pleasant outcomes.

Introduction
 
Thank you for visiting Low Carb 4 Ever!  Please read this disclosure so that you understand what you are agreeing to by visiting, reading,using information, commenting on or sharing this site.

The content is for educational purposes only and meant to inspire healthier lifestyle choices.  Nothing that I write can be taken as medical advice.  Please ALWAYS consult a health or medical professional or nutritionist before making any decisions that may affect your health!

While the information on this site is believed to be true and accurate at the time of writing and within my knowledge base, information constantly changes.  I will try to update information as it is known to me.

Low Carb doesn’t mean it is low fat, low sodium or low calorie.  It is a proven weight loss lifestyle, but that lifestyle is not for every situation.  Talk to your medical professional or a nutritionist for what is right for you.  Low Carb recipes on this website do not intend or pretend to be anything other than lower in carbohydrates and have passed my own taste tests, which I think readers might enjoy or find useful.

I use WP Recipe Maker for the nutritional values on the recipes.  Please always do a nutritional count yourself as there is always room for app or human error in anything on the internet or on this website.  

I am not a medical professional or nutritionist, but I am an educator. As a reader of this website and blog, you are responsible for your own health and actions. I will not accept responsibility for damage to your health, well-being or property of any kind as a result of your utilizing information on this website.  Again, always talk to your health or medical professional or nutritionist.  (For example, while I have been given a 30 Net Carb forever mandate, your healthcare provider might want that bar set higher for you.  Always seek their advice.)

All content is my own work unless stated otherwise.  I may have occasional guest posts, but that will be disclosed within the post.

If you would like to use any of my content, please link back to me or give my site clearly identified credit.  My original content is copyrighted.
 
Reviews
 
All my reviews are unsolicited.  They are my own opinion.  It may be that I am offered products, services or books to review for free or I may have purchased them.  Free products, as with purchased products, may be reviewed well, mediocre or harshly purely according to my opinion.  I am not obligated to give a good review. I have to ethically stand behind these opinions according to what I alone think of them.
 
Advertisements & Brands
 
It costs time and money to keep this website up and so I do accept compensation from affiliate programs, ad networks, sponsored posts and/or partnerships on this website.  I also may have product placements within blog posts and photos that may compensate me. I will usually note the free product or service.
 
The compensation does not affect my opinions or use of products or services.  If I have a positive impression of a brand, it will only be because I feel the product or service deserves the recognition. I am not obligated to give a good review. I have to ethically stand behind these opinions according to what I alone think of them. I’m protective of my own brand!
 
Sweepstakes/Giveaways
 
I may run a Sweepstakes or Giveaway of products or services.  Entering a Sweepstakes or Giveaway gives me permission to contact you via email or any other contact means that you provide.  Should you win, you are willing to partake in any promotional content related to the Sweepstakes or Giveaway.  I reserve the right to share your name on this website and any other social media that this website utilizes.  By entering, you agree to opt-in mail from Low Carb 4 Ever!.  You have the right to opt-out of future communications from Low Carb 4 Ever!  Additional terms and conditions may apply to Sweepstakes and Giveaways, but will be stated within their individual announced terms and conditions.
