The New buzz is LCHF or Low carb. What does it mean and
what does it entail you may ask? It sounds like just another
diet fad like all the rest that have gone before. This is where
the paths of the old familiar “DIET” and “ a lifestyle change”
diverge. I am sure that if you are reading this article, then
somewhere in the back of your mind you have the nagging
reminder “I should be eating more healthy food and less
junk”. Monique’s book is written for you.
There are also so many questions associated with any new
ground breaking and controversial way of living but Monique
le Roux Forslund answers all these questions and explains
why changing your habits of eating “easy off-the-shelf”
snacks full of carbohydrates to focussing on healthier natural
alternatives and eating healthy fats are good for you and
your family. She also explains the bombardment of the arsenal
of media representation and information that confronts us
at the shelves in our local supermarkets. By being informed
and knowledgeable we can make our own decisions when
it comes to our health and that of our families.
In her book, you will find over 100 delicious and healthy
recipes for every meal of the day as well as something
for special occasions and snack time for the whole family
(including babies!). Low-carb Living for Families is packed
with easy-to-follow, practical tips as well as encouragement
for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Professor Tim Noakes, one of South Africas foremost sport
scientists and Dr Andreas Eenfeldt have written forewords in
Monique’s book. Professor Tim Noakes is one of LCHF’s leading
endorsers, having himself been a strict follower of the lowcarb-high-fat lifestyle for a number of years with astounding
improvements in his health and quality of life.
Dr Eenfeldt is a Swedish medical doctor who specialises in
family medicine. He also advocates a low-carb high-fat diet
and lectures on the topic at various medical conferences all
over the world.
