You may need to modify some of the fat-free recipes in the following books to eliminate added sugars and refined grains, such as white flour, through substitutions, but these are a good source of inspiration and most are available on Amazon:
- Secrets of Fat-Free Cooking: Over 150 Fat-Free and Low- Fat Recipes from Breakfast to Dinner-Appetizers to Desserts, by Sandra Woodruff
- Secrets of Fat-Free Baking, by Sandra Woodruff
- 500 Low-Fat Fruit and Vegetable Recipes: The One-Stop Source of Healthful, Great-Tasting Meals, by Sarah Schlesinger
- Everyday Cooking with Dean Ornish: 150 Easy, Low-Fat, High-Flavor Recipes, by Dean Ornish (a plant-based diet)
Some foods may affect people differently. When introducing a new food into your diet, start with a very small portion. If you experience no ill effects, try a little more in a couple days. Talk to a registered dietitian to see what’s best for you.
