Low Carb Is Lekker is the brainchild of Inè Reynierse, who embarked on a mission to make the benefits of a low-carb lifestyle an achievable, budget-friendly reality for her friends and family. Her ‘decarbed’ versions of South Africa’s most popular and well-loved recipes soon caught the attention of various social networks and the growing need for a basic Low carb is lekker recipe collection.
There are easy low-carb, wheat-free and sugar-free alternatives to some all time family favourites (think bobotie, mac ’n cheese and curry and ‘rice’), quick comfort foods (gnocchi and chicken pie) as well as decadent treats (malva pudding, chocolate brownies and milk tart spring to mind).
Written by a mom for moms who want to feed their loved ones back to health, Low Carb Is Lekker is also a celebration for fellow South Africans who love the tastes of home without compromising health and wellness.
A companion book to the best-selling Immunity Food Fix, The

Experienced cookery teacher and writer Beverley Jarvis has put
together this book of 75+ delicious recipes to inspire her
super-ager peers to eat well, with all the nutrients that are
increasingly needed as we get older, and to cook whole foods from
scratch quickly and easily so that meals are enjoyable but never a
chore. Her guiding principles, developed through her ongoing work
with the organisation U3A (university of the third age), are:
(mostly) no more than 35 minutes to prepare and cook; use
short-cuts provided these don't compromise nutritional quality;
physical activity is good but use tips to make cooking less
physically demanding; use fresh, health-enhancing ingredients. With
most recipes being for two people this is the perfect book for
empty-nesters and those who have recently retired. The book is
completed with some dinner party recipes which take longer to
prepare and cook, but are well worth the wait.

macros. From tasty Pulled Pork Burgers to Spicy Enchiladas or
Mushroom & Cheese Souffle Omelettes, these good-value,

Yes, the keto diet has been around for a while; you’ve heard about it
but don’t fully understand the concept and think it’s too expensive. Or
perhaps you tried it but were overwhelmed with a deluge of often
conflicting information, so you gave up. Possibly, you are following it
faithfully but need new inspiration. Besides, there’s always new
information coming to the fore. Following on the runaway success of his
first book two years ago, Living the Ultimate Keto Lifestyle, Hendrik
Marais has decided that it’s time to introduce the ketogenic lifestyle
to even more people, while offering devotees a simplified breakdown of
the latest trends, and a completely new set of easy and delicious
recipes.
Keto Lifestyle: Simple is exactly that – a guide to implementing
a ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting – with meal plans that are
simple to follow – that makes sense, is both budget- and
loadshedding-friendly, and with all the tricks to save you time. You’ll
love the tasty recipes and even find ways to entertain your friends
with menus that fall within this lifestyle. But there is so much more:
nutritional information, advice on exercise and ways to maintain your
motivation.
