Just Starting Lchf And Looking For Advice.

[jonnytaxi]

I'm just starting out on a LCHF diet, to go with my new training regime, and I'm wondering if their are any good books I can get to go on my Kindle. Would like something with recipes and a section that shows nutritional info in different foods.

Also I see their a split views on eating veg, and I live veg, so wondered what would be good to eat daily and what on a Sunday dinner.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks mate I'll take a look. Already had Daisy's great info pack on a previous post but thanks. Lol. Got a Wavesense Jazz Wireless meter that I've just had replaced as old one was faulty, and started testing again today.

The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance by Jeff Volek and Stephen Phinney: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Scienc...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=FNFGQBRPAZA12Q808W3M

They've also written a less specialised one on low carb living. (And are active via various sources on the web as well.)

(ETA - Apologies - the Performance book appears only to be in paper format, but the low carb living one is available on Kindle!)

A general rule for veg is to go for above ground veggies, as root vegetables are higher carb. Just remember that peas are really a pulse and sweet corn is a grain. Cauliflower and brocilli are my choices with roasted celeriac instead of spuds for a Sunday roast
