Food, Success & Life For The Modern Woman

We talked with Low Carb Dietitian Franziska Spritzler about the benefits of living a low carb lifestyle, including weight loss, great health, skin and hair, just to name a few. We go over the different levels of low carb diets, how to get started on a low carbohydrate diet, and provides some quick and easy low carb recipes for our busy lifestyles…including a yummy treat! Also provides tips on how to go on a low carb diet when you don’t have the support at home from your loved ones.   WHAT IS LOW CARB? There is no universal definition.
