Building on the success of Nicola Graimes's Big Book of Low Carb Recipes cookbook, with sales of over 120,000 copies, The Right Carb cookbook shows how eating the right carbs (fats and sugars) in sensible moderate amounts is the answer to good health. The latest research shows that a diet featuring a moderate amount of carbs (around 50-55% of calories), rather than extremely low (below 40%) or high (over 60%) is the best for our long-term health and wellbeing, with either extreme said to negatively affect life expectancy.

The Right Carb is a timely guide with an informative look at the importance of eating good carbs for our health. With practical advice and tips, the book explains how eating the 'right' carbs are vital: providing energy, improving the health of the gut, digestion and mood as well as aiding sleep. It shows how to choose carbs as well as the best ways to prepare and cook them for maximum nutrition and minimum nutrient-loss. The book highlights that balance is key, with other food groups, such as good-quality plant proteins and certain fats, being equally important.

Supporting the sensible dietary advice and tips, The Right Carb features a collection of over 50 inspirational recipes with chapters on Breakfasts, Small Plates, Big Plates, Sides and Sweet Treats. Each recipe is supported with a 'Right Carb' tip box highlighting the right carb in the recipe as well as the carb and calorie count.

The Right Carb is the complete package to sensible carb-eating for the long term and not a quick-fix diet. Packed with delicious, speedy recipes, this is a practical and inspirational approach to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
