editor’s letter Carb-Free Thanksgiving
Low-carb, and even no-carb, diets are all the rage these days, and for good reason. Not only do they promote weight loss, they can also help maintain healthy blood glucose levels, which is particularly important in our increasingly diabetic society. If you’re one of the thousands of Americans who are trying to kick the carb habit, you know it can be difficult—especially this time of year. Thanksgiving tables piled high with mashed potatoes, stuffing, flourthickened gravy, and decadent desserts don’t exactly lend themselves to a carb-free approach. “Keto Thanksgiving,” (p. 18) takes on this conundrum with a selection of low-carb sides and desserts that can satisfy your dietary requirements—and your appetite, as well. Even if you haven’t adopted a low-carb eating plan, simply replacing a couple of your traditional standbys for these slimmed-down options can make your holiday table a little healthier. And while you’re planning your Thanksgiving feast, also be sure to check out “Cranberry Slaw,” (p. 32). This delicious take on traditional cole slaw incorporates our favorite fall fruit to create a seasonal treat that you won’t want to miss. And, you guessed it, it’s low in carbs, to boot!
