Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Recipes to Keep You In Ketosis

Dana Carpender In retrospect, Dana Carpender’s career seems inevitable: She’s been cooking since she had to stand on a step stool to reach the stove. She was also a dangerously sugar-addicted child, eventually stealing from her parents to support her habit, and was in Weight Watchers by age 11. At 19 Dana read her first book on nutrition, and recognized herself in a list of symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia. She ditched sugar and white flour, and was dazzled by the near-instantaneous improvement in her physical and mental health. A lifetime nutrition buff was born.
