Our library finally purchased The New Mediterranean Cookbook, after budget delays.
https://www.amazon.com/New-Mediterr...y/dp/1589239911
If you are interested in improving the nutrition in your "Keto"/Low Carb diet, this is a good place to start. It analyzes recipes with consideration for the Omega 3/6 fats, dominant vitamins and minerals, etc. If you are interested in the Optimising Nutrition course, https://optimisingnutrition.com/
but afraid it might be overwhelming (still is for me  , though in 2022 it will be 2 three week courses ) some of these recipes are a perfect intro.
Quote:
The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook is your guidebook to the ultimate superdiet, an evidence-based keto diet that emphasizes a diversity of fish, healthy fats, and a rainbow of colorful vegetables—with 100 delicious recipes for everything from snacks to dinner.
The Mediterranean diet has long been touted as one of the world’s healthiest diets, renowned for its protective effects against heart disease, cancer, and other chronic illnesses. However, its heavy inclusion of grains and carbohydrates can contribute to obesity and is a drawback for many. Also shown to have many health benefits, the ketogenic diet stimulates the fat-burning and longevity-promoting state of ketosis by limiting carbs and emphasizing high-fat foods.
While the keto diet is about the proportion of macronutrients (fats, protein, carbohydrates) in the food you eat, the Mediterranean diet is about specific food types: seafood, olive oil, colorful vegetables, and other anti-inflammatory foods. This book is about living and eating at the intersection of these complementary diets so you can reap the benefits of both. While both diets advocate significant amounts of healthy fats and protein, the new Mediterranean approach to keto significantly shifts the fat profile of the diet to emphasize the monounsaturated and omega-3 fats that health experts agree promote living a long disease-free life. It also includes colorful vegetables, providing a diversity of nutrients and flavor.
The result is an enhanced Mediterranean diet that stokes metabolism, supports the gut and microbiome, and is anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and nutrient-dense.

. . . especially those in the health care and medical communities, particularly GPs and RDs. I think it's an excellent foundational piece to provide an improved understanding of the power of food (including anything masquerading as food) to both harm and help extend the quality of life depending on the foods consumed. The food industry won't help here, as these companies have demonstrated expertise at skirting and exposing flaws in the guidelines to manufacture foods that are considered "heart healthy" or "plant based" while slowly leading down the path to metabolic catastrophe.
Good that mainstream media has a protein focus book for seniors now, there is long wait list for this book at our library. (Since it is an AARP publication and pricey)
