“The biggest animals–elephants, gorillas, rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, and giraffes –all eat predominantly green vegetation. How did they get the protein to get so big? Obviously, greens pack a powerful protein punch. In fact, all protein on the planet was formed from the effect of sunlight on green plants. The cow didn’t eat another cow to form the protein in it’s muscles, which we call steak. The protein wasn’t formed out of thin air–the cow ate grass. Not that protein is such a bid deal or some special nutrient to be held in high esteem. I am making this point because most people think animal products are necessary for a diet to include adequate protein. I am merely illustrating how easy it is to consume more than enough protein while at the same time avoiding risky cancer–promoting effects of too many animal products. Consuming more plant protein is also the key to achieving sage and successful weight loss.”

I have been put on a low-carb diet by my gynecologist beaucse I am insulin resistant and have reactive hypoglycemia. I have purchased several cookbooks (including Atkins) and have found the dishes to be too fancy for my family’s tastes (especially my 9-year-old stepdaughter). BACK TO PROTEIN provides quick,easy and TASTY recipes which the whole family can enjoy. I appreciate the short ingredient lists and the fact that the ingredients can be easily found in my local grocery store. We especially enjoy the ground beef and chicken recipes (mock pizzas and mock lasagna are terrific!) I also love the crock pot recipes for easy end-of-the-day meals!!I can’t wait until Mrs. Doyen writes another cookbook. I’d love to have some more crock pot recipes for chicken and roast beef! Thank you for a terrific cookbook which has made it much easier to follow a low-carb diet. I feel great and it is so easy to stick with my diet when given such a wide variety of meal choices.
