Welcome to Step Away From The Carbs!
I'm Nicole, and I'm a long time food blogger with a newfound passion for low carb cooking! I'm not a doctor, nutritionist, or dietician. Just a regular mom who has found that the low carb life is the only sustainable way to keep my weight down and my body healthy. And I still get to enjoy plenty of yummy treats!
I started the low carb way of of life back years ago. And recently took the reigns of this wonderful low carb food blog from its founder, Georgina, who is a long time low-carber and a Certified Ketogenic Diet and Ketosis Nutrition Health Coach.
I started the low carb way of life back in 2008, (are you starting too? Read my guide for beginners!), and have continued to manage my weight since then by controlling my carbohydrate intake. Although some days it's hard to keep motivated – and like any regular person I have had some slip-ups along the way – low carbing is very much my way of eating now.
From the day I started blogging I have been committed to providing readers with easy and delicious recipes with a short list of ingredients. I also feel strongly that portions sizes should be generous: yes, these were diet recipes, but I still didn't want anyone to go hungry – including me!
Although most of my recipes are prepared from scratch, I am certainly happy to embrace some short-cuts. I particularly like using low carb tortillas, for example, and have used them to make tacos, nachos, chips, lasagna, and more! I'm sure you're as busy as I am, and these convenient low carb products can really make a big difference.
Did you know that Step Away from the Carbs has published SEVEN books?!? The first was The Dieter's Chocolate Cookbook published before I started writing this blog. It not only included low carb chocolate recipes but also sugar free, low fat, and low calorie ideas. I learned so much working on those recipes and I loved sharing them with fellow low-carbers who needed some inspiration and help! In 2016 I completely revised the book and added some color photos! Low Carb Chocolate Recipes includes over 60 low carbohydrate and sugar free dishes and is perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth! Encouraged by the response to this book, I wrote Low Carb Family Favorites which is perfect for holidays and family gatherings, and Low Carb Snacks and Low Carb Meals For One, which are both invaluable resources for helping to stick with a low carb diet. Perfect for busy cooks is Low Carb Meals with 5 Ingredients Or Less.
And finally I had the greatest pleasure working with Rockridge Press who published the Super Easy Keto Cookbook!
I love working with brands and companies – so if you're interested in working together, let me know!
