The Paleo Dessert Bible: More Than 100 Delicious Recipes for Grain-Free, Dairy-Free Desserts

Description

By now we all know that the paleo diet yields amazing results for weight loss and overall well-being. But even the most health-conscious among us want to treat ourselves once in a while to something sweet and indulgent. What if we could indulge without cheating on the diet? In this book, readers will find more than 100 recipes for amazing desserts that will leave you feeling satisfied, energized, and healthy. When Chef and caterer Anna Conrad was asked to provide paleo recipes for a fitness group's 28-day paleo challenge, she was a little skeptical. Could an athlete--or even an average person--really maintain a balanced body without any grains or dairy? Before agreeing to the job, she decided to follow the diet for two weeks to see how she felt. In that short amount of time, she lost eight pounds without feeling hungry or deprived, and her blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol all stayed within healthy limits. She gladly provided the recipes and now offers a paleo menu as a regular part of her catering business.

Anna Conrad grew up cooking with her Hispanic mother and has enjoyed multicultural culinary influences from her French grandmother, her Italian mother-in-law, and her formal culinary training in Thailand. She founded her catering business, Chef Anna, in 2010 and Ideal Mealz, a service designed to help home cooks prepare healthy meals affordably and efficiently, in 2011. She lives in Chattanooga, TN, United States.
