One of the challenges of any weight control lifestyle is how to enjoy the cakes, cookies, pies and other sweet treats that we so enjoy throughout the year. For many people, doing without them is simply not an option. And it doesn't have to be. With these delicious and low carb, sugar-free recipes, you can make wonderful-tasting desserts, favorite cakes, pies and even waffles without feeling guilty and without it showing up on your bathroom scale. The book features over 56 low carb recipes to carry you through the year with treats that taste so good that people who aren't watching their weight won't know they are sugar-free and low carb. A few of them are also gluten-free. Using low carbohydrate flours, most that can be found at the supermarket or health food stores, you can make such treats as Applesauce Waffles, Pumpkin Pie, Cranberry Almond Torte, Tiramisu, Biscotti and all kinds of Cookies. Most are fairly simple to make and the instructions will take you right through it. All of the recipes are under 10 effective carbs and most are much lower. Don't think that you can't have these delicious treats just because you're eating low carb. It is possible because low carb doesn't have to be boring.
