As some of you know, I started a super low carb journey in 2025 almost a year ago, through a program called Virta Health. One cookbook a lot of people on the program have suggested is The Protein Advantage by Carolyn Ketchum who has a blog called All Day I Dream About Food. I finally got the cookbook, and it was very interesting and unique.
I would say this cookbook is part cookbook and part science book. The first 33 pages is all about protein and how important it is in our diets. Prioritizing protein can help with things like blood pressure, blood sugar, body composition, injury, lean muscle mass, lipids, and weight loss. Each person's protein goal is different so there is a guide to figure out how to tell how much protein you should be consuming.
Protein is especially important as we get older.
This book has a section about stocking the pantry with animal, dairy, and plant-based proteins. She also mentions low carb yet good protein fruit and veggie sources.
Each recipe has the yield, time to prep and cook, it will note if free of high allergens like nuts, they include the nutrition information, and have tips. Not all of the recipes have photos.
